Easter 2017

Easter Sunday the boys woke up bright and early to go search for their baskets and eggs. 

Then they sorted their goodies (per mom) to share later. 

Then we headed to church and dinner with the Weldons for a fun Easter Sunday.

Happy Easter everyone!

Spring Break 2017

We had a low key Spring Break this year. A lot of hanging around home and few outings. One outing was to the Hammond Candy Factory. They give free tours and then you can purchase candy afterwards. Yum!

You get to see into the factory while they make the candy. It's very neat to see.

Plus you get free candy when your done. Win-win!

We also made it out to see the new Beauty and the Beast movie. It was a hit!

I always enjoy a week off of school. I think the boys do too.

St. Patrick's Day 5k

We signed up for the St. Patrick's Day 5k in Highlands Ranch. It was a good run. 

We found these guys after the race. 

We got socks to go with our shirts for this race. 

We are starting to get quite the shirt collection.

Josh's 11th Birthday

Our oldest is 11! Wow! This year he invited his friend, Aaron, for dinner and games at Dave and Busters and a sleep over. 

We started with dinner and then scattered to play a ton of games. The other boys enjoyed it too.

We ended at home for cake and a sleep over. 

On his actual birthday, he had baseball (of course). 

Happy 11th Birthday buddy! We hope you have a fantastic year.

School Valentine's Parties

Every year, the boys' school has Valentine's Parties at school. They call them a Party with a Purpose and use them to have the kids do something good for the community. 

I try to have the kids reuse their Valentine "boxes" each year but Daniel's broke last year so he needed to make a new one. His choice was the Death Star. 

Here is how it turned out.

In Josh's room, in addition to their charity, they also played games, like this one where they had to blow q-tips through straws into bowls.

Daniel's class decorated capes made out of t-shirts to give to the kids at the hospital. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Skate City

The boys' school hosts skate nights every once in a while at Skate City. Daniel and Patrick enjoy going. Josh tends to skip them. Daniel got inline skates for his birthday and is starting to get the hang of it. 

Patrick still uses the helper but he sure has fun. 

Plus they get snacks. 

It's a fun time with friends and keeps them active. 

Packers Playoffs

Football Sunday usually means watching the game at the Weldons. Today was no exception. We were cheering on the Packers, hoping for a playoff win, so I came prepared with coordinating snacks. 

Football deviled eggs.

Packers cake balls (and nails).

The boys were ready to cheer them on. 

Go Pack Go!!
