Hi All!

Hello to everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. Is anyone still checking it out? Things have been busy here, but all good.

Our Easter was nice. We went to church on Saturday night and then took Sunday to just be us. It was a good day. We got up and let the kids hunt for eggs. I made a big breakfast for us all. Then we just hung out and got ourselves put together. We went for a hike with our puppy to the Castle Rock. It was an easy hike. My puppy loved it. The kids had a great time too. They love to climb the rocks, especially Jake. I just can't watch him sometimes, it scares me. Ben tells me just let him be a boy, so then I just look the other way. The rest of our Easter was just relaxing.

Jacob has been playing basketball at school, so between practices and games it has been busy. He is doing pretty good. He has a friend that lives right around the corner, like two houses away. The only problem has been that that friend is grounded. That is not so fun. Megan is doing good too. She has a friend who lives close, just a couple of blocks away. They hang out a lot. It is so nice. Megan is also doing choir at school. She enjoys that quit a bit. She also had a softball clinic on Saturday, so we will be starting all that soon. I believe she will start practicing this next month for softball and Jacob will start baseball soon too. Life is about to get a bit crazy. This is a time that I am very thankful to be not working. There are time I do miss work, but all in all I am thankful to be home. It works great for the kids. Megan's friend comes over a lot after school. Couldn't do that if I was working. I do thank God for that.

Ben is still really liking his job. It is really great to see him happy with his work. God has been so good to us. It is hard to believe we have already been in Colorado almost nine months. We absolutely love it still. This last weekend we went up to Vail Saturday afternoon and stayed in a condo from Ben's work. Then we skied and snowboarded on Sunday. It was a nice get away. Saturday we walked around at Copper and then Vail. Did a little shopping. Then we just relaxed at the condo. Sunday we went to Copper to ski and were there right about when the lifts opened. We always try to get there then, but doesn't seem to work out mostly. We skied until about 1:00 then headed home. It was a great day. We have done so much as a family outdoors here then we ever did before. We are really loving it. With the weather getting nicer it is time to plan some hiking and camping trips.

I think that is about all that is happening here. I pray everyone is doing well. I still miss my family and friends. Ready for you all to come visit. :~) Take care!
