Spring Break


We decided to spend our Spring Break in Colorado visiting family and friends.

PART ONE : Our first stop was at Evan's sister's house in Denver. We went to the Denver Zoo, played Wii, ate great food, went shopping, drove the "relly car", and my personal favorite, played ROCK BAND! (sorry no pictures of Rock Band). We had a great time and the kids already miss their cousins.

PART TWO : Then we drove to Grand Junction to spend time with our great friends the Dillons. It was Connor and Parker's birthday so we had planned to surprise the kids with our visit. When the boys came home from school, Kyra and Treygan answered the door. Connor and Parker looked completely confused, surprised, and very happy. It was great! The boys spent hours and hours playing the Wii. The girls loved spending time with that cute baby Eleanor! As adults, we enjoyed great food and conversation. And yes, Lori and I still fit in some shopping.
We had a great time at both places. Thanks for a great Spring Break!

Look Who's One!


Well I decided to join all my good friends and start a blog. (You win Lori!) I am going to start with Aleeya's first birthday.

Aleeya did not know what to think of all the fuss. She enjoyed having her cousins come and visit her but spent a lot of time just looking at all the people wondering why they were all at our house. We had an Asian dinner with Yoshida chicken, Asian salad and Gyoza (Japanese Potstickers). With the help of the other children, Aleeya opened her presents. Then the most hilarious part of a first year birthday...THE CAKE!

We think Aleeya thought the cake was playdough. She poked at the cake until her hands were covered in frosting. Then she squeezed the frosting through her hands and laughed about it. Finally Evan put some in her mouth and she reacted like "Wow why didn't you tell me this tasted so good!" Then she immediately stuck her WHOLE face into the cake with her mouth open! After that she just devoured the cake. We all stood around her and enjoyed a good laugh. I should have videoed the whole thing. I hope you all enjoy the photos!
