So Many Things.

Wow, so much has happened this month and I am way behind in posting, so bear with me as this is going to be a long post. We will start from the top. The first big event last month was a wonderful visit from Uncle Adam! We had such a great time celebrating his birthday, Pa's birthday, and St Patty's Day! Here is Mason meeting his Uncle Adam for the first time.

Molly loved having all these playmates around for the weekend! She ran them all to the ground!

Just hanging out with Uncle Adam and Elissa.

Olive anyone?

Molly had such a great time playing with her friend Natalie! She talked about it for days and even wanted to drive to Natalie's house the next day.

Ballons, party hats, and cake at the birthday party.

This girl loves her cake!

The birthday boys!

This month's next BIG event: Pa's retirement party! Yep, Pa is now officially retired. Congratulations are definitely in order. Here is how he and Grandma started this new phase in life.

Molly is so excited for this new adventure too. Hopefully it means lots and lots of extra playtime!

At the retirement party, Molly found Pa's old polaroid camera. After Pa showed her how it worked, she photographed the entire party!

All the action at the party led to one tired little boy. By the time we headed home, both of the kiddos were pretty exhausted.

This month Mason really started showing off his cute little smile! Here are a couple of smile sessions caught on camera as they progressed from just sitting, to full blown grinning.

One more round of smiles!

Next up: Rockies opening day! Go Tulo!!!

After that was Easter!!! We started out the Easter festivities with one of my very favorite traditions: coloring eggs. Molly had a great time helping her Grandma and Pa.

While were were decorating, Mason stayed amused in his swing.

Nothing beats a nice bath at the end of a busy day. What a cute little elephant!

Grammy and Grandpa Don also came to celebrate Easter with us!

After a long day of playing with the grandparents, we got our kiddos all dressed up for the Saturday evening Easter Service at our church.

Here is a rare shot of all four of us!

And one with both sets of grandparents!

It's empty ... just like the tomb! Jesus is risen!

On the way home from church, Brian asked Molly if she wanted to make chocolate covered strawberries. Her response was pretty clear: "We gotta get home quick Dad." Here are the results.

Who needs strawberries when you have a spoon?

Just a little messy.

Molly woke up Easter sunday and discovered that the Easter bunny had hidden eggs all over the place!

She also found a wonderful basket full of Easter surprises!

Inside that basket was, what else? A box of peeps! I think she is the only person I know that has ever eaten an entire one ... and liked it!

Mason slept through most of the egg hunt, but once he was up he couldn't wait to try out his new hat that was in his own basket.

Here are a few more fun shots from Easter.

That's all for now!
