Mountain Trip!!

Violet and I headed up to Breckenridge a few weekends ago with a few of our playgroup friends. It was so fun to get away and spend some time up in the Rockies! Here she is at the park.
And with her friends Bryce and Piper (excuse her disheveled hair - they play hard!)
In front of the huge snow piles yet to melt (which is why they call it "Mud Season" up there!)
We spent one morning in town...
Ah, our idea to teach our children how to push EACHOTHER in the stroller finally worked! Too bad it only lasted about 10 seconds!
2 swings. 3 kids. Solution? Two per swing! Here is Violet & Piper all cozy swingin' away!
Jumpin' on the couch!There is nothin' like hanging out in a nice warm hot tub when there is still snow on the ground! Violet and Piper were shivering so much but would NOT get out! It was really cute!My friend Sarah brought all the fixin's for Make-Your-Own-Sushi. Here was my first attempt at rolling it. Not too pretty, but they tasted great!
The view from the porch.Back at home, Violet has really taken to reading by herself. If she's quiet for too long and I go looking for her, she's usually plopped on the floor somewhere reading her books. A girl after my own heart!
We also took a little trip to Golden (only about 15 minutes away) to meet some new friends (hey Mindi and Rex!). We stopped by the water on the way home. So pretty!

And in "house news" the entertainment center is IN THE HOUSE!! In fact Jon is painting it even as I type. He told me tonight that he plans on having the tv installed by Saturday night. Let's hope!
My cord that connects the camera to the computer is busted so I have a TON more pictures to post... we officially moved Violet to her "big girl bed" and now *gasp* sort of have a nursery for the new baby ready. I have some pretty funny pictures of the "progession of Violet as she learns how to sleep in a regular bed" that I can't wait to post!
