soccer time...again

a few more cute soccer photos

 lining up on the wall

 turning on his rocket shoes

 and he's OFF!

he loves anything that involves putting out cones, stacking cones, picking up cones...

Zoo Day

We had a great day at the zoo. Train is still not working so we took on the carousel instead.

 The fun part of this zoo visit was watching the hippo get his snack..

which he ate right in front of us!

PoohSticks

Cohen and I took to the trails and went for an adventure by our house.

 I felt like I was in the middle of a Poohsticks race!

 Cohen probably threw over 50 sticks and was just as excited each and EVERY time!

Family Date Night

Cohen had a really good day at school so we decided to go out for a family date night.

 here he is enjoying his mac and cheese

 and working on his name (which requires you putting your face really close to the paper) he has down C-O-H- then goes astray from there when he spells outloud

and apparently he's picking up the check, BONUS!

St. Patty's Celebration

We celebrated St. Patty's Day the day after with all of the kiddos.

 Cohen was not feeling great (come to find out the poor little guy had double ear infections!)

We had all kinds of green foods (apples, grapes, applesauce, and green gatorade) Griffin is enjoying his applesauce

 so is Isaac

 and Eli

 and Grace is taking down some grapes

 we celebrated the big 3-0 again with Sparrow

 and then attempted the standard child holiday picture

 here are a few videos of the process

which is often like herding cats!

and also explains why these 3 are the best pictures we got 

we love that the tie is as big as levi is!

Happy 5th birthday Lincoln

Our friend Lincoln turned 5. Cohen was not feeling well but did not want to miss the party. He did a gymnastics party that was very fun.

 then it was time for cake

 so cute to see Cohen amongst the other little party goers

 cake time

 Cohen got a red balloon that he thought was great, and I thought made for some great photos.

Sparrow is THIRTY

Our friend Sparrow is a St. Patty's baby so what better than St. Patty's to celebrate her 30th! We all got together for dinner and a happy hour to celebrate.

 Bri and Levi (Sparrow's little guy)

 Brittni (who has not yet joined the 30s club) and Bri

 me and Catherine (who has also not yet joined the 30s club!)

 he is such a cutie!

 and just realizing his hands

 happy birthday to our friend SPARROW!!

make a wish

sleeping little one

Had to take a picture of this sleeping crew. Cohen fell asleep with LOTS of his guys in his bed, it was very cute.

31 months with frog guy

Another month and a bigger boy. He really is starting to look like a big boy.

He is fully potty trained and makes it through the nights in undies as well so we are excited to be completely diaper free!

He still loves trains more than anything else he plays with.

He is now one of the oldest in his class and helps teachers out, even letting them know when they forget to do something.

He is one great little boy!

bird house

Cohen really wanted a birdhouse one day when we were at Michaels. With the weather warming up we decided it was finally time to paint it.

 he chose red

 and worked really hard on the painting

the final product, he is VERY proud of it!

Radiohead

Sam has been waiting...well his lifetime...to see Radiohead and they FINALLY came back to Denver after skipping over Denver so many times in the past. The ticket getting process was pretty stressful, but we were lucky enough to get through and get tickets. It was a great show. 

another shadow pic

Add this to the growing collection of shadow pictures...this one came out really well. We now have a new board at our house for all of our shadow pics. It was part of a blitz of new house projects that I will have to take pictures of and post here.
