Welcome!

Welcome to our family's blog! We are a family of fourteen - yep that's right fourteen! Which of course includes myself, my husband James, our two boys, Michael and Jacob; our two cats, Guinness and Reagan; our big dog Larry, and our seven fish! We live on the edge of the high plains in central Colorado and just a short drive from the beautiful mountains.

We strive to maintain a gentle and respectful household while remembering each of us, no matter how small, is an equal individual. We also support and encourage each other to grow in our different pursuits in life.

I hope you enjoy our blog and we welcome you in our journey through life.

The Easter Bunny Came!

On Easter Sunday the boys woke up to find an egg filled candy for both of them in their bed. Excitedly they ate the candy and couldn't wait to see what the Easter Bunny had in store for them next! As they left the bedroom they found more eggs filled with candy, tattoos and stickers in the loft - at the bottom of the stairs - in the living room and ALAS, the Easter Baskets!













The Easter Bunny brought them all sorts of fun things - bubbles and balls, crayons and markers, books, play silks (rainbow and stars!), a duck and a lamb, a chicken a goose and a rooster, a fried egg and a hamburger for their kitchen, shake and go cars, and candy, candy, candy of course! After exploring their new things and a breakfast of chocolate and jelly beans it was off to the showers and into their Easter outfits.
The rest of the day was full of even more excitement! Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Dan and Sophia came over; then Dominique and Braden. We had an Easter Dinner of ham, sweet potatoes, homemade mac & cheese casserole, broccoli and cauliflower and tabouleh salad then an ambrosia cake made by Grandma and a strawberry boston cream cake. Then the boys got another surprise - the Easter Bunny made a surprise visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house too! They recieved their very first baseball (t-ball) set, dinosaurs and two soft cuddle pillows (hippo & monkey!).
Everyone had a fun day full of family and friends, good food, good beer (James could probably write a whole book on the different beers they had!), excitement and just plain ol' happiness. :-)
