Easter Morning 2009

Here are the three youngest on Easter Morning.  I'm not sure why my older girls didn't get in these photos.  Maybe they didn't want their picture taken.  The kids all got a 2008 yearbook in their baskets that I made for each of them to keep plus a few other goodies.  We had a huge egg hunt (125+) eggs to find.  Lots of fun!

Caden's 7th Birthday

Caden had his birthday party at the Shrine Circus!  They  loved all the amazing acts and the animals.  Here is the tiger show.

Here is our huge group.  Very captivated by the show.

Happy Star Wars Birthday!

Spring Break in New Mexico

The good thing about Jeff having a large sales territory with his job is that once in a while we can manage to get a free trip out of tagging along on his business trip.  For Spring Break we went with Jeff down to New Mexico while he visited hospitals.  Our first stop was in Albuquerque.  Here we visited several fun museums.  Then we went to Las Cruces where we visited the White Sands National Monument.  It was amazing to see endless white sand dunes and with all the wind you would have thought we were in a blizzard!  They even have to plow the roads.  Then we went on to the Carlsbad Caverns.  This cave has a room almost 800 feet underground that could fit over 6 football fields inside.  See the amazing formations we found inside this cave.  We all had so much fun exploring this cave.  It was nice to enjoy 70 degree weather and sunshine while Denver got snow.  Happy Spring!

Crazy Kelsie and her "GIG"

This shows exactly how crazy Kelsie is.  She just randomly does stuff like put a million hair ties in her hair and tie on a balloon . . .I don't get it either.

Here is Kelsie and her GIG (girls in glasses).  They are a cute group of girls at the theater.  They have so much fun together.  Kelsie is on the far right of the first photo below.
