Thawing Out!

 

These are post blizzard pictures. The sun was shining, the puppy decided to walk over the drifts on the fence and play chicken with the cars, Maurey was digging around the fence so the dog would stay in and Brett was playing king on the snow hill, good times. In the middle you can see Pikes Peak.

A blizzard in April? What the heck???

 

Yes we didn't hardly get any snow this winter so I guess mother nature decided to give it to us this Spring. Just when the weather was warming up a blizzard happens. We had 3 feet of snow and had to do plenty of shoveling. The county finally came and cleared our neighborhood so we could get out. We were having cabin fever.

Two Kids in A Box and Ride em Cowgirl

 
 
So what happens at our house when you have 3 feet of snow and have to stay inside? Two kids in a box and chasing each other on "horses". Sometimes we get lucky and Brett decides that he will be nice to his sister and then we get the imaginations moving.

Superstar!!!!!!!!!

 
Analise got some new shades from the Easter Bunny and loves to put them on and model them.

Easter 2009

 

This year for easter we went to my sister Brenda's house. On Saturday the kids went on an egg hunt at her community center. They loved it even though the weather wasn't very nice. Then later that day we colored ggs. Annalise thought that was a pretty fun thing to do. Brett made some pretty eggs but forot to get pictures of them. We also had easter dinner on Saturday because Kathy my sisters sister in law was leaving on Sunday. We ate yummy food. Then on Easter morning the kids got their baskets from the easter bunny. They were both very happy. The weather was still yucky so we had an egg hunt in the house. Analise was not about to give up her eggs and if anyone came near her watch out. I had bought some confetti eggs so we went outside in the snow and had a confetti egg fight. We decided to leave on Easter also because the weather was so yucky. It was good we did because Brett ended up having a double ear infection and we neede to get medicene for him. He is now on the mend and feeling better.

Pigtails anyone?

 
Analise finally has enough hair to do a little something with it. So a friend of mine came over and we put her hair in pigtails. Unfortunately they didn't stay long because she like "pretties" in her hair but for just a minute and then she pulls them out.

In my Easter Bonnet

 
 
 
Brett had to make an easter hat for school so this is what we came up with this year. Of course sister had to be in the picture also and then at the school they had a little parade throught the other classrooms and Brett was being the big brother and took her with him.

In my easter clothes

 
 
I tried to get a picture of the kids in their easter clothes but liese loo would not cooperate and then she sported this great pouty face. Oh well maybe next year.

Pre Easter

 
The kids wanted to wear their bunny ears one day so we took a picture.

Once there was a snowman....

 
Yes believe it or not in the middle of spring we had a big snowstorm so Maurey and the kids were able to make a snowman. Afterwards they had a snowball fight and according to Brett he was awesome.

Little Boy Blue

 
For Preschool last month the theme was nursery rhymes and Brett dressed up as little boy blue. They had a little recital where the kids sang and then he did a solo of little boy blue. Way to go Brett!!!
