Time for a visit

Cuddly Jackson

Grandpa and Levi looking for chipmunks!

Me and my sisters and goofy Levi!

This post is way overdue...my honorary grandmother came all the way from England for a visit. She was accompanied by her lifelong friend Fred. Bob, her husband passed away last year, it was hard not to see them together, but I am thrilled that he is with the Lord, dancing and praising God!

We had a fun couple of days together at a YMCA cabin, playing cards, chasing my boys and listening to Betty encourage us.

I feel so blessed that she got to meet my sons. I love you Betty, you have been a shining example to me on how to live for Christ and be a godly wife and mother.

New Desk!!

Jason, the wonderful husband that he is built me a new desk last week! I am so super excited! As many of you know I love to organize and do paperwork but have never had a good place to do this! With my new work from home job it is so nice to have a command central :) With my first earnings I was able to buy myself a new office chair to replace the wooden kitchen chair that we've been using for the past 8 years :)

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Story time with Omi

I love that face :)

Yes winter coats and hats on Easter Sunday!

You know the old saying, April showers brings May...Snowstorms! ha ha

yummm, chocolate bunnie!

The basket got pretty heavy towards the end but he refused to have anyone else carry it :)

sugar crash!!!
Levi's art, ok some of mommy's too :)

Jackson was very curious about coloring eggs!

Having fun dying eggs !

We had a fun easter with my mom, sister and brother. My mom even came up the night before so Jason and I could enjoy a date night :)

We are looking forward to next year when Jackson and join in the egg hunt! Levi also enjoyed a couple of treats all the way from North Carolina! Thanks Grandbeth!

Bath time!

Jackson is pretty indifferent to bath time. Sometimes he likes it sometimes he doesn't. Levi loves to help me wash him which is pretty fun, even if it gets me more wet than the baby :)

Boys and their toys...

Not the best picture I know, but I love this kiddo!

So recently Levi has decided that he's big enough to pick up Jackson by himself and hold him! Of course he didn't tell me that he could do this...I found him the other day like this and thought it was so cute until Levi decided that he was done and just dropped Jackson on the floor! Gotta keep an eye on this one :0) At least Jackson is learning to be tough!
Jackson is playing more and more with his toys now, so fun!

And of course Levi is trying to get Jackson to play with big boy toys too :)

I love my Boys!
Jackson is now 5 months old, hard to believe!

Levi and I built a little fort in the living room the other day! We had such a blast in there with the flashlight and some toys.

Jumpin'

Levi and his best pal, Austin, at jumpin! This is a really fun place and super cheap :) For those of you who have never been, it's a huge room filled with bouncy castles and slides and basketball hoops and more. Awesome for two rambunctious boys!

Baby Lea, such a beauty!
I love this one. Those two are so funny together.

Yes we (Kathleen and I ) did fit all four kids and four car seats and two huge diaper bags into my car :) It was a fun but LOUD trip to the valley !

Nap time

This is how we found Levi sleeping the other day for nap. He is so funny in that big bed and never stays in one position for long. What a cutie pie :)

Marriage Conference

Jason and I were very blessed by a marriage conference here in Estes Park in mid-March. It was a lovely small group of about 7 couples. That weekend was one of the best weekends we've ever had in almost 8 years of marriage. It was made possible for us to go by Sam and Karen Basel who watched Levi for the weekend and by another very generous couple who paid for the whole weekend (for all the couples attending!). We learned so much, got quality time together, enjoyed having Jackson with us (we've never had time with just him before) and made some new friends. Not to mention that it was on a beautiful secluded ranch with amazing facilities!

I can't say enough good things about it!

I hope every married couple takes the time to do something like this.

Thanks again Sam and Karen and Jeff and Janelle!
