Easter Party & Egg Hunt 2009

Briley's School had their Annual Easter Party and Egg Hunt this past week. I of course went to watch and had a blast. I LOVE watching her with her friends. She grows so much everyday. It's such a joy to watch her at school and what she is learning....

Waiting for the Easter Egg Hunt!

HAPPY HUNTING!

STILL HUNTING!!!

LOOK AT ALL THOSE EGGS!

10 Months Old

I cannot believe that Olive is already 10 months old!!It seems unreal to me, that she has only been home about 8 months of that.... Looking back on her rough start to life- I seems impossible that we endured what we did..... Looking at her you would never know that she was as sick as she was. She is such a blessing and we love her more and more everyday!

COMPLETED!!!

The garden is DONE! Everything is planted and ready to GROW!

Now we just WAIT!!!

I would like to thank my wonderful hubby who, while working 2 jobs has managed to build this garden and help me with the kids and the house. I am not really sure HOW he does it all, but he does! I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful caring man in my life!

Here are some more random backyard pictures... please excuse Toyland.... This is life with a 3 year old :)

Grand Prix

This past weekend, Briley was part of the Awana Grand Prix, A Soap Box derby race in which daddy and daughter sit down together and design a car. It must be fast and it must be original. Of course, Briley's car was Kitty. She won 3rd place in Design and was SO excited to recieve this trophy! It is now upstairs on her dresser and she admires it every day! It is so cute how proud she is!

Colorado Recap

Sorry it has been so long... Since I have returned back from Colorado life has been VERY hectic!!! Trying to gte back in the swing of things has been insane!!! We had a wonderful time in Colorado! We did so many fun things!

We took my dad out for his birthday to The Blue Parrot- a family own Italian food place in Louisville Colorado that I have been going to since I was little. They have t he BEST homemade noodles, pasta sauce and of course meatballs.... HUGE meatballs I might add. The entire time Briley was singing "On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheeeeese.... I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed....."

We spent a lot of time with family.... here are the girls witth their MeMaw and Gammy (Great Grandma)


My Dad drove us around the mountains to sight see so I could take pictures..... it's just gorgeous there.....

We also visited El Tapatio.... My parents and grandparents favortie Friday night restaurant. We took the whole family and it was an adventure!
