Jen's Getaway!

Jen took a 3-day getaway by herself to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida the first weekend of May. She slept, relaxed on the beach and read an entire book! It was a great few days to recharge after a tough winter!


Springtime Snow!




Swimming!

Both Levi and CJ have continued taking swimming lessons at the local rec center. Once we tried goggles with Levi, he finally started to LOVE swimming! It made a huge difference because he could put his head in the water without the frustration of water in his eyes.
CJ still has some issues with getting his head wet and has had a little more trouble warming up to the pool, but we'll keep at it!

Estes Park cabin!

We took a trip mid-March with the gang and all holed up in a cabin in Estes Park for three days. It snowed 2 feet! It was a lot of fun!





CJ Stone aka Snaggletooth

Back in February, CJ had a nasty spill while on a walk with Dad. He unfortunately had his hands in his pocket and so the first point of contact with the concrete was his mouth. OUCH! The dentist took x-rays and the roots of the teeth looked fine. So he's just a cute little snaggletooth until those teeth fall out in a few years!

New Year's Eve

We had a great party for New Years! We had hats and noisemakers and did a countdown with the kids at 8pm. The adults made it until midnight - yeah! Hopefully 2010 will be a healthy, happy year full of laughter and good memories!
