I wear my sunglasses at night...

So I can... So I can...

AJ has been wearing these things all day long. Even for nap. And now she wants to go to bed with them on.

Skate park

Not only are they learning balance on their scooters, but we thought we would up the anty and take the kids to the local skate park.

THIS is COLORADO!

Ok so this isn't why we moved per se, but we sure are glad to be able to enjoy his glorious place.

Jude had his very first day in the high country and very first ski lesson. We went to Loveland Pass where the base is at 10,000'. I told that to Jude and his eyes got so big.  "Is that higher han the mountains in New Hampshire?" he asked.

At the end of the day Jude said he wanted to do it again.

More activities

Rachel is starting to figure out all the places to go in the area. The park, gym, and whatever else to ensure the kids are having a fun time.

Best buds

AJ and Levi love spending time together.

Butterfly time

AJ LOVES!!! butterflies. So we took a cold Saturday morning and went to the Butterfly Pavillion nearby. Last time Jude didn't do so well with the 100+ degrees inside the greenhouse. So we were a bit more strategic in how much time we spent in the hot box.  Smiles all around!

Lots to do

We have all the time in the world to enjoy the beautiful weather. It is on and off again, mixing snow and no snow. We live being outdoors!

We are thinking of NH

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our BeFree family.

Valentine's Day

Jude did a great job making his V-day cards. Levi and AJ wanted to be a part of the fun too.

More snow

We did our best to try and make a snow cave. Honestly, they were way better in NH. Still, we had to try.

Sun and 60 last weekend, 6" of snow this weekend

We were hiking last weekend in short sleeves and today we are shovelling snow. The kids are happy though. We can build a snow fort and they love to eat snow.

Birthday presents!

So many people spoiled her on her birthday. Thanks! Among other big hits were the bigs. She would pretend they were flying around the living room making buzzing sounds and then would stop to inspect them.

Happy birthdayAnaLeah

AnaLeah is 2! Wow! We can't believe it. She has grown so much. Though she is still mostly speaking jibberish, she always has something to say. She loves her brothers and lauhing with them. She is pretty happy go lucky and loves to smile. Big interess theses days are bugs, hiking and eating snow. We are so blessed to have her as part of iur family.

More fun.

The boys loooooved climbing around on "the mountain" today.

Spring fever.

Snow a couple days ago and now 60 degrees. Such days just don't get old. We got out today at Settlers Park in Boulder. High adventure for the kids.

Part 2-3 of the 3-adventure day

We discovered a new playground next to the "lake" (which is really just a big pond) and got a grill. Yes, for the first time in our life we bought a new grill instead of picking one up from the side if the road.

A 3 adventure day.

A break from the "cold" here, we have high 50s today. We are not ones to waste the great day. So we took a family hike in tje foothills north of Boulder. The kids loved the mud, spotting prairie dogs and cacti and climbing trees.

Making fun

As we are unpacking and settling in, the kids are getting creative in ways to expend energy. Boxes make such great toys. Tonight they were trampolines and wrestling mats. Combine that with AJ's harmonica playing and you have quite the evening.

Still working on getting settled.

The kids put up with a lot and made it through our attempt to find organization solutions at the house.

First day on the job.

Now it is down to business.  We are getting ready for Jude to head back to kindergarten after a month hiatus. Going back to work was odd - nice to start here but UNH is missed.

Finally!

Aftr a number of snowstorms, ice and high winds, our stuff finally arrived. We were growing tired of camping in an empty house and having picnics on the floor.
