Spring Shots

I didn't really get an "Easter Picture" of the kids all dressed up this year b/c they were sick. One day before church we went out to the front yard and took some shots. I can't really get a picture of the kids when they are BOTH looking at the camera anymore. Cicilee is more interested in eating the bark around my tree...This wasn't Cici's 'easter dress' but it is still "springy."

Vitamin D

Enjoying the sunshine.

Cic wants to do whatever Kai is doing. She is adorable and I love her.

Kai is in his element when he is outside. He is always finding reasons to be outside. Can't wait till summer!
Love this shot.


I really need to get this kid a bike. hmmm....maybe in a few weeks I can talk Ben into it.


The Denver Zoo

We bought a family zoo pass this year and have already been several times. Kai loves it and Cic, well as long as she has goldfish to eat she is happy.
Ben went with us for the first time recently (which enables me to actually take some pictures). It was a little chilly but so much fun!

Kai has several favorite animals to see, but recently he has decided that he LOVES the elephants. We tried to get a shot in front of one but it was walking away and the only thing you can see is its behind waaaayyyy in the background.

(Yes, I did finally 'go dark'. I have been wanting to be a brunette for quite sometime and finally made the leap.)

Another favorite...the monkeys. Kai could sit and watch them for hours.

Cic...eating goldfish...the. entire. time.
"Happy Face"




Kai wants to be just like Ben. Whatever he is looking at or doing, Kai will mimic him. The gorillas...


This picture isn't in focus really, but the zoo is beautiful this time of year. So many trees are in bloom.





I am always telling my Mom how great my tulips look. This is for you, Mom...

Chillin' by the pool

It has been gorgeous outside lately (other than the CRAZY wind). I filled the kids pool up early one day thinking that the water would be warm enough after naptime...Boy was I wrong. It was freezing! Kai and Cic were content just splashing in the water sitting by the pool. I must say, Cic is a lot braver than Kai. He kinda follows her lead. They had so much fun being outside. I can't wait till the pools open and we can go swimming everyday...(and I can work on my tan).


I don't know where Cicilee gets all her facial expressions from. They are hilarious and she is always making some sort of 'face'.
There are few days that Kai and Cicilee play well together and no one ends up in tears. This was one of those days. They loved each other all day...it was a miracle.
Love these shots of the kids.
