OUR EASTER WEEKEND 2009

For our Easter weekend we went to the Family Housing egg hunt, the ward brunch and then to Anut Julia's and spent the night and had Easter with her and her family. Lots of Fun.

Family Housing's Eggs Hunt with the CU Police. Tons of eggs everywhere. Scruffy was there and the Easter Bunny. The kids came home with lots of candy....more than they were able to finish.

We went to the ward soup brunch and they kids played games like running with an egg on a spoon and egg toss and rolling the egg across with their noses. They had lots of fun.

The kids loved coloring the eggs and being together, but of course they started mixing up who did how many and the adults had to step in. Elaine wanted all her eggs to be pink and purple. She is so funny, when she gets like that.

Matthew is the cashier and Nathan the bag boy. I need one of everything you have left.....looks like the shelve have already been emptied. I wonder if there is a crisis I don't know about.

So that is where all the food went. Medic Matthew has run off with it.

Snow Sleding after the Blizzard

There was a big blizzard that hit while we were visiting Julia that kept us from being able to drive home, but we made the most of it. We played games, rented movies, made yummy food and went snow sleding!

The kids had lots of fun going down the big hill by the nearby school. Matthew and I made snowmen with the baby. They got tired after a while and became whinny so we left. I didn't mind because back at the house was a nice hot pot of Enchilada Soup Nathan had made before we left. IT WAS SO GOOOOOD!
We ended up being there from Wed thru Saturday with only two pairs of clothes. Of course before we came out Julia's dryer died so we had to wash and hang dry our clothes there. Not a big deal since I hang dry all my stuff at home.

Thanks Jim and Julia for letting us stay with you and hang out. I hope we weren't too much trouble.

Just Him and Me

Nathan and I went to Colorado Springs to visit his sister Julia and her family during our Spring break. We did a trade off of babysitting each others kids so we could go out on dates. Nathan and I went first and we had so much fun. We went to Olive Garden for dinner...yummy soup and salad. Then we went miniture golfing $4 and then Bowling $9. We also got some ice cream from Safeway....love Skinny Cows!

Colorado Springs has the best date night stuff for cheap. We were suppose to go to see Bedtime Stories at the dollar theater for $3, but we didn't make it in time and I don't care because we had a great time together just hanging out having fun. Total coat of date and all the fun things we did $30. SWEET!!!

A Day At The Temple

It was an 8 hour day between driving, taking turns going to sessions and fitting in lunch in the middle.

We both enjoyed ourselves and the kids enjoyed having one on one time with us.

We went into the visitor center and read the friend, took pictures and played in the grass off to the side by the parking lot.Nathan took them with him to the church bookstore and let them pick out some rubber bracelets. Matthew’s is black and says “Future Missionary.” Elaine’s is pink and says “Choose the Right.” They also picked out a heart locket for me that says “CTR” on it. Nathan got a black oil vile for his key chain. All in all it was a good day.

Enjoying the warm weather

So the forecast said SNOW….so about 4:30pm on Sunday I went to go to choir practice for the first time, but no one was there.So we all went up into the Flat Iron Mountains and went for a walk on the Walter Orr Roberts Nature Trail to enjoy the last of what was supposed to be warm weather.
It is now Tuesday and not an inch of snow has come.We are hoping it doesn’t….at least not during our spring break. But we will see..........
