Phone Dump

It's been CRAZY around here lately.  Let's see.........
We widened our driveway after years of having to park on the grass.  I use the garage and Dave always had to be over on the grass so I could get around him.  Not anymore!!

I got a new (used) car!  Gas was eating me alive in the van, and though I loved the room, it just didn't make sense on a day to day basis.  My new car is zippy and gets great gas mileage.  It's a Cross Tour, which is an Accord with a hatch back.  I love it!

My friend, Betsy, had her 4th baby, Luke.  He's adorable and I go over to her house any chance I get to see him.

The boys' school had weekly fish fries and a special crawfish boil each week during Lent season.  We made every one of them and had a blast!!

Easter Sunday

Pizza with honey!

Mira insisted on taking us to her favorite pizza parlor when we arrived in Golden.  They have honey at each table and you dip your pizza crusts in the honey.  I persuaded my skeptical boys to try it...... and they LOVED it.

Fun in Golden

I took the boys to Denver on Good Friday.  My friend, Sarah, picked us up from the airport and took us to her house in Golden.  Her daughter, Mira, and Theo go way back!!  The 3 kids had a blast together and played and played non-stop!  They spent a great deal of time outside on the trampoline, then playing in the basement with Mira's toys, then making Easter crafts...... it was a whirlwind of fun stuff.

We toured the Coors brewery on Saturday.  The tour was self-guided, which meant we gleaned very little about the beer making process with 3 kids in tow. It didn't matter though, we had a great time and it was neat to see.

LSU Baseball Clinic

Jack attended this baseball clinic out at our local ball field.  Some players from the LSU baseball team came and worked on some drills with the boys.  It was well attended!!!  Jack's buddy stayed after the clinic and got a ball signed by all of the players for him!!

Strawberry Patch Field Trip

I organized a field trip Saturday morning for the kids at Lake Castle.  The weather was a disaster, but luckily, the hard rain held out!  The kids had a blast picking strawberries and playing on the farm.  Ms. Heather (the farmer) did a presentation about how strawberries grow.  We had a blast and can't wait to go again next year!!

Theo's Easter party

Theo's class did everything that Jack's class did, minus the chocolate fountain.  His kind teacher took pictures with my camera :)  This age is tough to keep up with during this party.  I give the parent volunteers A LOT of credit!  They ended the day with popsicles outside.  Mmmm.
