All About April

So I managed to go the whole month of April without blogging. Oops! It was a very busy month, and we ended up slightly over-committed and worn out. But, with May comes a lighter schedule and more scheduled family time. Yay!

Some sweet and fun moments in April...

Mancation 2.0: Will, Gilby, Todd and Greg. A weekend up in the mountains for these old friends skiing, shooting, eating meat, watching movies, and spending quality man-time together. Gilby knows them all from his days leading The Ascent youth group in Golden. Todd and Greg were regular volunteers and Will was one of the youth who we met when he was only 12. He's now 22!

 
When Ryker started shooting this ball at the park I just couldn't stop thinking about how tall he'd be someday. Our littlest guy is growing up so fast.

A typical spring day in Colorado, snow in the morning and sunny and 50 degrees by afternoon.

Sydney snuggled up with a book and her "Great Grandma blankie," which is what she calls this special blanket my grandma made for her when she was born.

Sydney and my mom's conversation recently that had Grandma cracking up -

Sydney: "I can count to the last number."
Grandma: "Guess what, they say numbers go on forever. That's call infinite."
Sydney: "Not this time."

And a cute story about the outfit above. After Sydney had put it on, she came downstairs and asked me, "Does this look cute, Mom?" "So cute, Sydney." "I know, I was laughing the whole time I was putting it on!" It made me chuckle. She has such a fun personality and doesn't take life too seriously. 

More updates to come in May!
