VEGAS BABY, VEGAS!

It was a LONG drive to Vegas this time, b/c of snow we couldn't go through the mountains...so we headed through New Mexico, Arizona and the Hoover Dam (we took lots of dam pics!)...but we pushed through and did it all at once...b/c we were looking forward to a week of vacation and seeing our Grandma Bobbie & Aunt Jay and the Lesperances (they had the Easter Bunny visit their house the week before Easter)...we had an awesome time...but could not drive straight through on the way home...so we stopped near Phoenix and visited the Mannons for a few days...we pulled into our driveway at 5:45am on Easter Sunday...and then went to church by 9:30... then it was naps all around! We needed the break...

MARCH 2009

WOW...March flew by...here are some highlights:
David went out of town on a guys weekend to Vegas at the end of February... on that Sunday, I taught in our 2s & 3s class, Daniel BLEW OUT his diaper (to the point of throwing away his clothes) and Ashley ran straight into a cement wall and her head proceeded to get a HUGE welt on it...this was a pic of it, about 6 hours later: I got to go to our Women's Retreat in Estes Park, with a group of wonderful women...we learned about our Holy Spirit...the Traveling Comforter...it was WONDERFUL!
Playing playdoh on a Monday...the calm before the storm...we usually have 4 in the morning and then 3 more come, to give us 7 kids...and then we go to our small group at night--FUN! Always love bathtime...

WE LOVE THE ZOO! We went with Cassie, Ellis & Alaire and Julie and baby Ashley... always love going to the zoo...especially with people we've never been there with before!

We had a potluck at our church...here are some of our family in Christ:

We went to the park that afternoon...we rode our tricycles for the first time... Mommy got sunburn on Sunday and then we had snow a few days later (after we went to Discovery Days with Lily)...CRAZY COLORADO WEATHER!

Mommy had a little too much fun at a consignment sale...the kids got an awesome Elmo train set (see them sharing!) and Daniel got a big boy bed...he was SO excited! I love the pics of them sleeping...my little angels...they love each other so much and we thank God for that and for them!
We went to meet our bunnies...we're going to try our hand at adopting bunnies and if it goes well, we'll adopt a little sister! :) Any ideas for names...b/c as of now the kids like Whitey & Blacky...or White-White and Black-Black...neither ones would go well if we move down south!
