Spring Soccer

Both boys are playing soccer this spring.  And Jon lucked out and got asked to be the coach for Ethan's team!  He does a great job at it--just hard to fit in practices with his busy work schedule!

Grant's team is the Cowboys and Ethan's is the Hammerheads

 

Cousin Preston is playing too!

Elise cheering for her brothers!

Dying eggs--I'm not really sure why Grant was growling...

Spring Break 2013

Our spring break this year was pretty low-key, mostly just relaxing!  Well Jon did work most of the week--but we managed to sneak away for a couple days to Breckenridge!

We love the hot tub!

We also visited the children's museum in Breck!

Dr. Grant

Elise the musician

Ethan and Grant the scientists

And Grant the fisherman (check out that hat!)

Then after returning home, we finished up our week with a trip to the "dino" museum and got to dig for some bones!

New Tricks

Elise will be ONE in only 2 more weeks!  (that was one fast year)  Since turning 11 months, she's learned some new tricks!  And I have an abundance of video to share--I've been wanting to get video of her for a while and spent some time finally capturing her walking and doing some other cute stuff.

11 months old--wearing bunny ears and enjoying some banana

--She took her 1st couple steps right at 11 months and now she takes about 10-15 at a time before plopping down

 

--She waves hello and goodbye
--She blows kisses (well puts her hand up to her mouth at least)
--She claps

  
--She points
--She likes to feed herself

--And she can sure babble up a storm!

 

We love our cuddle baby!

Snow Fun 2013

We've been enjoying our winter (and spring) snow storms!

Elise's 1st time out playing in the snow!

Building snowmen

That's supposed to be the 3 kids!

Now on to a snow fort!

Pretty awesome!

And we also did some ice skating this year with cousins!  Jon is a pretty decent skater, me not so much!

 Ethan and cousin Briella were both eager to try and got the hang of it

 Elise enjoyed the ride in her stroller out on the ice and Grant prefered riding too--he couldn't keep his legs under him!
