May 2015

The boys watching the NFL draft.  :) Pete really liked it when they showed highlights from the players' college games. "Football!"

Happy May Day! The kids love our May Day basket tradition. 

First ride on the penny horse was a big hit.

Henry really wanted to help me pump gas. I could get used to this.

An after school ice cream date with Daddy.

Jane's season pass for next season at A-Basin!

The kids had been begging me to go to this park...it's a tiny park in a neighborhood by the post office.  I think the giant camel looked really fun for some reason.

Henry's end of the year preschool program. He was a shining star!

Pete insisted that he and mom both needed their hats on. 

Love this cranky face.

My Mother's Day wish was to take the kids to the Denver Museum of Science and Nature. The kids loved it!

The featured exhibit was about mythical creatures.

Posing in front of the green screens.

My Mother's Day card from Jane - love it!!

On Mother's Day Esther Jo was dedicated at Shaina and Matt's church in Denver.

I just love this little girl!!

On his way to be the leader at preschool, Daddy's parent helper day.

Posing with their temporary pet, a toad Jane caught in her window well.

Norah wasn't too sure about it Henry showing her the toad.

Jane was invited to a pirate party by one of her friends. She wanted to go all out on her costume.

Project number 7 for the summer...painting the shed. Pete now has several paint outfits, size 18 months.

We went to Salida on Memorial Day weekend to celebrate my cousin Ali's graduation. The kids loved staying in a "fancy" hotel.

Pete had a little trouble sitting still during the ceremony so he and Daddy played some football while they were waiting.

On our drive home we went by Bishop's Castle. It was an interesting experience...

Another stop on the way home, the Pueblo riverwalk.

Dinner at Casa Bonita's.

Little stinker...hiding in the bathroom, eating Mommy's curlers.

Helping Daddy build the new see-saw from Grandad and Gramma.

Sitting in their dinosaur nest.

An afternoon with our little sweetie, Esther Jo!

Uncle Nathan stopped by during his lunch break to see our sweet little niece.

At their friend Luke's Star Wars birthday party. For boys that don't know anything about Star Wars, our two loved it.

One of my friends has hosted a Mother-Daughter tea the past two years. Jane and I have a great time making special memories.

Miss Dana giving the girls a lesson on proper tea etiquette.

Nathan and Jane enjoyed one last day on the slopes, May 31st! :)

Dinner with the Walkers! First summer barbecue!
