The simple days.

Are the best days.

Swinging with Brook...

Napping.

Playing with cats under the deck table.

And making cookies.  :)

March 11 Birthdays!

In March we make silly faces with cousins...

Jump in leaf piles...

This is our morning.  Connor and Jace trying to get shoes/coats/hats and getting everyone out the door...

 We tore off our porch because it was rotting...

Playing Go Fish with Grandma...

Jace got to help build some new fence around part of our pasture...

We celebrated Grandpa J's birthday!!

Sometimes we are just TIRED.

 

Connor loves helping in the kitchen!

And we celebrated Kyler's 7th Birthday!

Not complete without birthday spankings...

Back Home...

Left for home...only to be greeted by a road block right outside of Winter Park..not really sure but think they were doing some blasting to control avalanches.

Didn't take this guy long to fall asleep...

This girl sure was excited to see us come home!  And we were super excited to see her too!!!!

Here's the map of Winter Park...it's amazing!

And back to our cats...our fat cats...

Great weather leads to some great sandbox work!

Jay turned 30!!

These kids are always full of surprises...

And somewhere in there Jed and I spent an evening in KC, and got to try out Top Golf!

Ski Trip, Part 2.

Jace went everywhere we went.  He wasn't afraid, and didn't every question us.  Most of the time I skied first, Jace followed my path, and Jed brought up the rear.

On our final day of skiing.....Jace made it to the top!  It was SNOWING!!!!  These pictures don't do the mountain justice.  He went up several times, but this time we literally hopped off the side of the mountain and made our own path.  To be fair, when he got down to me he said he didn't like that....but he wasn't crying!!

We couldn't slow him down long enough for a family photo!

It's always fun to stop for some hot cocoa!

This picture is trying to show how we got Jace through the flat parts.  You lose speed, and kids don't use poles so he would have no way to get through them.  Jed or I would come up behind him, and he would kind of ride between our legs as long as he could!

Still excited at the end of the day!

Waiting in line for the lift!
