Happy Easter from Colorado... in true Colorado form, we had snow last night (just about every year, we have snow on Halloween and Easter... grrrr!) But now the sun is out and we are resting after a FULL day of fun! Holidays are a little hard for me, being so darn far from family. Growing up holidays were CHAOS!!! Cousins everywhere, a long day of FOOD and if it's my mom's side of the family - GAMES!!!! Now, our closest family is my brother, Jared & his family... and they are a good 4 hours away. So, we celebrate with friends! This year we weren't thinking ahead (I'm blaming it on the fact that Easter was so darn early) so we didn't get the invite out until last week and that was thanks to my dear friend Ashley... but we still had a few friends over. Here are the pictures to prove it!
Carter, Riley & our buddy Gage (his big brother Ian wasn't up for the group photo)
"BRING ON THE EGGS" (we put the boys in old t-shirts to savetheir clothes -- BRILLIANT IDEA!!! we saved 4 pairs of clothes today)
Miss Kisha passes out the "bug parts - legs, exoskeletons, wings" for the eggs...
Ian, Riley's best friend, birthday buddy, and the artist!
Kissy Face... not sure why, but so darn cute!

Cute pics, thanks! the blog update looks great!
It was raining so hard all day that we had to have our Easter egg hunt in-doors this year, so sad.
Still, a wonderful day and we had lots of friends and family over to the new place. Still unpacking but I don't think anyone cared.
congrats on the new place! maybe we can come see it if we make it up to WA this summer.
i wasted far too much time on this blog yesterday!!! but it is fun!
thanks for the inspiration :)
i stand corrected (mom are you reading this!?!?!?!) we have Brian's wonderful Aunt & Uncle in town but they are on a European Cruise at the moment... so, it is generally not as lonely in Colorado Springs as I first said it is! oh, and a cousin & his family... i apologize for whining... I do not have any immediate family from MY SIDE here... if only the grandparents would BUILD THEIR HOUSE HERE!!!
Your welcome to come, the boys can play in the back forty for hours climbing trees or they can watch Hanna Montana with the girls.)
