Scavenger Hunt & Color Fight

While Mimi was in town, we planned a fun little adventure for the kids. Macklin and I were talking about "park-hopping" the week before. So we decided to get some goodies and hide "treasures" in different parks around Gypsum for the kids to dig up. We made six stops, including our finally. 


Green Flag Found!

Red Conquered!

Green, Pink, and Red in the Treasure Box! 

Orange Discovered!

Blue Redeemed! 

 Yellow Snatched Up!

And finally, in our last bags, we put colored powder left over from Mimi's recent Color Run. It was a fun moment watching the kids throw color at each other!



 







 Baxter even got to play!

Favorite Moment: Macklin chasing Mimi!

Happy kid!

Mimi's Visit

Mimi came for a visit to help with Molly! It was a perfect time for catching up, planning future trips together, and of course, taking care of my growing family. Here are some of the highlights...

Welcome Mimi
She was supposed to arrive on her birthday but due to flight changes, she arrived the day after. We were ready with cupcakes, flowers and cards! 



Girl Day
Mimi took Macy for her first nail painting at a salon. We have painted her nails many times as home, but this was a special day. She loved it! Maybe a bad choice to start her this early, but it was fun! I told her that she had to sit still, and she did just that!

Special Pancakes
Macy is screaming happy things in this picture, promise.

Mimi did a great job carrying Molly with the Bjorn! 


Lots of love for Mimi! 

Enjoying the afternoon! 


And....of course...
Lots of Molly Snuggles


Bonus snuggles with Buzz and Woody

And a little bath time! 

Thank you so much, mom, for coming to visit. I always feel so loved, cared for, and supported when you are here! We can do nothing and do everything, and all are just as enjoyable because I am with you. Thanks for your constant love! I am forever grateful!

Spring Time

Who is this big girl and what happened to my baby??? Macy is full of spunk these days and is growing up! She enjoys imitating all of her "big girl" friends and telling me how to do things. 3 going on 15! 


Macklin's recent drawing of three basketball players and some pitchforks...yes, our high school mascot is a devil. 

Baxter's last picture with hair. He recently received his new spring hair cut. 

Photo documentation of our failed camping trip. With snow and rain all over Colorado, we had to cancel our plans. Nonetheless, we set up tents inside and everyone hit the hot tub! 

We had a successful MOPS Tea. Lots of great ladies (including Justin's mom) and great testimonies were shared by many lovely leaders! Jesus is moving in the lives of moms! We can't do this motherhood journey alone. 

Macy rocking her sunglasses at the park. 

Two new track babies this year! Molly and Harper! 

Coaches at Regionals 

During our Regional track meet, Molly was able to meet two new friends that are dear to me. 

Hang time with Daniel

Roses for our 16 year dating anniversary! So sweet! 


EVHS Prom - I went to say hi to some of my cross country runners!
