Celebrating Easter... somewhat early

This last weekend, the boys and I, and the pups, traveled to Berthoud to spend time with the family. The boys love love love going to "Uma & Papa's house!" They get to run around on their land, play with the animals, and climb trees. (Although I'm sure M&M's for breakfast & cupcakes for lunch is also on the list!) We left Friday just after lunch. On the way up we stopped at my former horse trainer's barn, where my sister works. Turns out my sister had already gone for the day. It all worked out though, the boys were able to see a bunch of horses, pet them & feed them some hay. It was great catching up with my childhood horse trainer, Nancy. Thanks Nancy for showing the little guys around! I wish I had snapped some pictures of our visit. Guess I was too busy chatting, strange I know :)

We met up with Great Grandma, Great Grandpa, Cousin Richie, Uncle Jamey, Auntie Edelyn & Cousin Jamison (Jamish as Zac says) for dinner. Three little guys always have a great time together.

Isn't he cute :) 

We were able to spend some time shopping Saturday in Loveland. It has been a while since I have been to the outlets up there. It was fun! And on Sunday we had "Easter Dinner" at my parent house. The whole family came over to celebrate. We decided to get together to celebrate Easter a week early because Uncle Jamey, Auntie Edelyn and Jameson are traveling to the Philippines this week and will be gone for the next 2 1/2 weeks. The boys each got an Easter basket filled with goodies & candy. (Another occasion where I was chatting instead of taking pics!) But take my word for it, it was cute :) 

Here are the little guys by Uma's tree.

 They had fun trying to climb it and also breaking sticks. 

Preston told me he wishes our yard was just as big!

Next weekend, for Easter, we plan on staying local. I want to take the boys to an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday and then church on Sunday. For now, we are laying low, enjoying our snow day together and loving life! 

More adventures to come....
