A Colorado Blur...

We made a quick trip to Colorado last weekend to visit Billy's grandma and say some goodbyes. It was both a sad and fun trip. I think its safe to say that the kids enjoyed every minute of their time in Colorado.

Butterfly chasing. It was pretty entertaining to watch. Two kids and their grandpa racing around trying(and being successful) at catching butteflies with their hats.

Noah's catch: One butterfly, one fly. He was quite proud.

Another critter we caught at the Byer's place. A water snake that Aslyn loved that just about drove Aunt LuLu to tears.

This one's for you LuLu!

A sweet family time.

Spring Happenings...

We've been working in the yard a lot this spring and Noah got in on the action. He got his own little wheelbarrow to help haul compost up to the garden area.

He was quite pleased with himself.

Big smiles! He's happiest when he's helping you work.

Aslyn received a kit where you order butterfly larvae and watch them go through their life cycle. She was enthralled by the butterflies and had a fun time playing with them before they flew away. Most of them even had names.

They were called Painted Lady butterflies. Most of their color is on the inside of their wings.

Disney Fun

We got season passes to Disneyland this year and have enjoyed using them a couple of times already. Here are some pictures from our trips.

Look at those blue eyes! This girl loves Disneyland and all its rides. The faster the better for her!

She was quite proud to be chosen for the jedi training session. Grandma Byers made her a jedi robe and got her a light saber, so we'll be seeing more Star Wars action in our future.

Not the greatest picture, but still cute. One of our trips was with the Amandus family to celebrate Noah and Brookie's 3rd birthdays.

Noah loved the rides from Bugs Life.

Noah is three!

Has it really been three years?? No, not since I've blogged, though almost. =)

Noah will be three tomorrow and we celebrated today with a Thomas the Train party. Love our little buddy!
