Hot Springs with Rene and DJ

DJ, Aunt Rene, Jill and 3 monkeys went up the mountain to Idaho Springs for a day of swimming.

Everyone enjoyed the warm water and playing.

Bailey was even brave enough to take her floats off to show everyone she could back float.

Pizza and noodles at Beau Joe's for lunch.

It was a bad day for driving.  Blizzard conditions both ways.
The snow and cold made the water feel so much better!

Molly wearing her lovie as a hat.  Silly Girl!!!!

Aunt Ne Visits!

Aunt Rene came to spend a full week with us!

We had so much fun!

She played cards with Bailey, loved on Luke, snuggled Molly and cooked

and did laundry for Mommy.  Dana was out of town for 3 of the days.

 We took her window shopping in Olde Town Arvada. 
Bailey liked sitting in the little chair.

 Luke kissing the pig.

The most fun part was playing dress up with Aunt Rene!
Make-up and a pink bra!

Snow babies!

Valentine's Day at the aquarium

We took Hannah to the aquarium for Valentine's day.

Face painting, feeding stingrays and MERMAIDS!

It was a great day.

Valentines Day at Preschool

I had the pleasure of spending the morning at preschool with Bailey.

It was the extra special Valentines day party.

First, we had to decorate bags to put our cards in.

Bailey's had a LOT of stickers!

 Next was decorating sugar cookies.

Notice the heaping mound of pink sugar on her cookie.

 Wiping the extra sugar off of her hands on to the cookie.

 The sensory area was a Jello table.  She wasn't quite sure what to think of it.

 Then it was time for the excitement to begin!

All 24 of her classmates put chairs in a circle with their decorated bag in front of them.

3 kids at a time walked around putting one valentine in each bag.

It was chaos!  The teachers kept telling me it was "an experience".

Then it was finally snack time.

the personally decorated cookies, a juice box, string cheese and fruit.

Bailey and her best friend MaKenna got to sit next to each other.

It was a great day to be at preschool!

Making Valentines

Paper whites part 2

The paper white bulbs are growing like crazy.

Bailey has really enjoyed watching them grow and bloom.

 The fragrance is really strong and makes the entire kitchen smell great.

 Bailey likes to stop and smell the flowers.

 The plant is well loved by everyone!

Look how tall it is! As big as half of Bailey!
