Awaiting Spring Time....

I know I have posted pics befor of our gorgeous Pikes Peak....but I just can't help myself!!! This is after our "Blizzard"....Nothing more beutiful in my book.

Jeff and I went to Lowes to start our seeds for Summer.....we are going to try a vegie garden. Jeff is always talking of growing tomatoes...one of his favorites. We are going for it!! I'll keep you updated!!

Here is all the tomatoe plants I started.....kind of nervous....We'll see????

Hung out with Harper in the front yard....still kind of Chilly! Is'nt she so cute???

Gramps came over for Stew, always happy to see him!!

Harper was glad to see Gramps too.....His Doggie Day Care provider.

Cassidy and I watched Cake Decorating challange on the Food Network, it was a good challange for Wedding cakes....so we decided to have our own cake challange.....my cake is on the R, cass on the L...it was funny!! We are excited to have this coming week off for break!! Just hangin out with friends.

Birthday Party in Pueblo

Went to my Uncle Bobby's to celebrate his Great Grandson's 1st Birthday....made a pit stop at one of his garages....Every time we go this garage seems more "cozy".

He custome made this car for his great grandson J.Bob...is what he calls him...isnt this cool? This car can go 115 on a race track....COOL!

He showed us new...old bikes he got...he takes these to shows so that he and his friends can ride around the area wherever they are.

Jeffery, Uncle Bobby, and J-Bob....One years old!!!

Of coarse they did a "Cars" theme for his B-Day....here is Mater, the Pinata,....he is my favorite from that movie. We were glad to be at my cousins to help them celebrate!!

Queen for a Moment...

On the last day of school before break...Cassidy hurt her ankle....playing Football with the boys.....I told her thats what she gets playing with boys....and she better stay away from them...till she is in her late 30's!!!!

Had to take her to the DR.....NOT BROKEN!!! Jeffery came along,,,,I guess to hold her stinky sock. Just a bad sprain so we have to cater to her....she will take us for all we got!!!!

AAAAhhhhh Spring Break!

Spring Break started early for these guys!!! Blizzard of 2009 in Colorado Springs expected...

All parents were contacted to pick up their monsters early for fear these poor teachers would be stuck with all these kids!!! This is Jeffery's teacher....anxiously awaiting parents in the car pool line.

Yippppeeee.....Spring Break and an extra day and a half....picked up the kids....they were so happy!!

Everyone came over...hung out just waiting for the blizzard....the Kuglars and Schwartz were over. Ate munchies and visited. As you can see the excitement wore off after a while.

What a flop of a blizzard!!! No school on Friday.....threw Cacey and Jeffery outside to shovel...they did a great job...I even made them keep Harper outside....you can barely see her, she is by the basketball goal. Spring is not over so we still have hope of a TRUE blizzard...and we know this can happen living in Colorado!!! Thats why we love it here so much!!!

All caught up!

Well it took me most of the morning but I'm all caught up on blogging....at least mine...now I have to go and look at the rest of what the blogging world is up to. Harper was all tuckered out this morning....took her on a walk....she slept while I blogged. She is just toooooo cute! Happy last day of winter!

The Alexanders over for Lunch...

Michele and Danny and their two nieces came over to have lunch on Sunday...we made special cookies in honor of Harper! Cacey picked out the cookie cutter shapes...

I was in a mad dash to get them decorated.....before they got to our house...didn't make it though..

Michele brought me these beutiful Tulips with a bag of Recees attached to them, she is such a sweetheart!

Jeff grilled Elk Steaks, we had a great lunch together...then went outside and played with our new teatherball...Michele was so fun with the kids!

Danny opted for staying inside and playing with Harper. Thanks for comeing over guys....I'm so thankful of the friendship we share...some days I don't know what I would do if I did not have Michele to talk to!! And I tell her so!! Love you guys!!!!

ps....this is a pic of those beutiful Tulips yesterday....so 3 days from when Michele brought them...My grandma used to say when flowers are given with love they will bloom and live a long time...I find that to be true....these are perfect example!!! I have enjoyed having them in my kitchen!!

The best deal!!!

We had to dig a whole for it...

Cacey supervised!

A Teatherball!!! The kids have wanted one for a while and Jeff found the best deal at the Goodwill......Brand new in the box for $15 bucks! I love Goodwill

Harper watched everyone work and play with her stick that was bigger than her.

Then of coarse little by little the neighborhood kids came over and played! Fun fun fun!

Cass helping out at school....

Cassidy was so excited about moving into their new building for the Middle School and High School. Finally the day arrived. She helped her teacher "organize" her desk. We all showed up to help but there was really no help needed...they had it all under control.

Cassidy loves helping!!! She did a great job on Ms. Bryant's desk!

A new sweater for Harper!

Well I just thought this was the cutest sweater ever...Harper is very "shaky" when we go outside...still kinda cold out. So I could not pass htis cute sweater up at my favorite store...Target!

Also got her some new treats...she like them!

And here se is sporting her new sweater...she had NO problems with wearing it...which I thought she would.

We went outside and she was nice and cozy!

Well all the excitement of the sweater must have wore her out!

Wii Wii

What Wii look like
Cassidy and Cacey

Me and Anthony....we all laughed when we saw Anthony's cause it looked just like him. Don't I look nice and wide awake???

Jeffery and Tracy.....we all loved Tracy's blue eye shadow!! It was so fun making our person on the Wii... Jeff opted out, he was feeling sick this whole weekend. Bummer for him!

Tracy has such great Wii form!

Cass and Cacey...must be Tennis or baseball. ???

Elyse and Jeffery got tired of waiting their turn....they went outside and played this cool "Tennis/Teatherball" game.

Elyse broke out her Valentine candy for all of us to share MMMMMM. She had Fun Dip.

Everyone just loves Tracy...she is sooooo FUN to be around. All my kids fought to sit by her, Jeffery for some reason was especially attached to her this weekend. He would not leave her side.

He also loved this giant Panda

Tracy made this great breakfast.....a new found secret from our friend Jimmy Dean. You have got to try it....it was soooo good!!

A regular favorite at Tracy's....THE TREE SWING!

Me and Cace playing the "outside" game...

Poor Jeff he just was no fun....which he usually is....he fell asleep a few times on the sofa....Hey but look he is really warming up to Harper...isn't it sweet? Thank you Trace and Anthony for a fun weekend, we love hanging out with you guys, even if you didn't have a Wii. Ha
