Children's Museum

Today we went to the Children's Museum with Lauren's new friend Amber. We had never been before, but boy did we find a new favorite place.

Wearing a fireman's hat after crawling all over the fire truck.

Sitting at the grocery bar. She really liked pushing the carts around.

All smocked up and ready to paint (but mom chickened out and we just colored instead).

Playing with the model trains.

Her favorite part was sitting on all the benches and chairs made for people her size :)

Our New Backyard

We recently decided that with the weather in CO being as cold as it is, having a pool taking up half the backyard just wasn't worth all the trouble. Plus, trying to keep Lauren from falling on the cover was too much stress. So James finally got his long time wish and we filled in the pool. It should have only taken two days, but because of some poorly timed rain it took more like two weeks! We love the final product though.

The final product! Abby, Zoe and Lauren love their new yard.

Lauren Update

Well summer is almost here and we are ready for it! Lauren's been playing outside alot more lately and is really starting to enjoy going to the park. We're also enjoying our newly expanded back yard (see Backyard post).  For Mother's Day we went on a lovely picnic to Hudson Gardens, one of our favorite places. Lauren loves to just roam free and has no problem venturing far away from mom and dad. Here are some pics from her adventures that day and a few other random shots.

McDonalds picnic - our favorite!

Climbing on the rocks - this girl has no fear.

Forced pic with mom - note mouth full of french fry :)

Playing in the sand box at the park.

Toilet paper fun - she was totally caught in the act on this one. It is actually dark in the bathroom and I snuck up on her with the flash
