Las Vegas March 2014

We went to Las Vegas over Spring Break with Grammy.  It was a fun trip!
 Watching the fountains
 Being silly 
 Such a happy traveler (during the day at least.  He cried half the night the whole trip!)
 Which meant lots of napping during the day ... here he's napping in the baby bjorn while on a hike.
 There was a pretty flower exhibit at the Venetian
This cracked us up - reminiscent of "The Hangover"  

We went to M&M World - the kids loved it!
 Grace watched Mrs. Green for quite some time before shyly asking me if she could have her picture taken with her.  
 So sweet!
 Before the M&M movie
 The weather wasn't warm enough to swim at the pool, so we spent a lot of time hiking and sightseeing.  Here we are looking over Lake Mead.
 At the Hoover Dam
 Hoover Dam
 We went on a hike that was supposed to have train tunnels on it.  We had to hike for a loooong time to find them so I ended up carrying Grace and we had a ball together.
 Such a sweetie.
 Grammy and Griffin hiking
 We found the tunnels!  They were really neat, the kids loved them!
 And this was on the other side!

We went to Valley of Fire State Park ... it was really cool.  The kids loved playing on the rocks.







 This was called Bacon Rock 


We met Sarah's brother and his wife for lunch on the last day

BeBop and Pop Pop's visit - March 2014

We were lucky to have BeBop and Pop Pop visit after their ski weekend in Steamboat.  It was so fun!
 The kids loved hanging out with them
 Story time with Pop Pop
 Building a police office with Legos
 BeBop and all three Fudge grandkids!
 Grace and her new nightgown from BeBop and Pop Pop - she was thrilled 
 Pop Pop and Grant at the park 
 BeBop is the best playmate!
 Griffin just loves his big wheel
 Fun times
 Grant playing
 They made snickerdoodle cookies (which Grace calls snickamadoodles) with BeBop, which is their favorite activity - throwing cookie dough into a bowl of sugar is so fun!
 At Lowry Beer Garden, our favorite
Dad and I 
 Such a good Pop Pop!
 Grant and Pop Pop playing
 BeBop helped the kids make a paper mache Easter pinata, they loved it
BeBop also helped Griffin make this castle ... it is so fun having an artistic BeBop!
 This picture of them on their way to the air port made me laugh - it was a great trip!

March 2014

March 2014
 Sunday Fun day at Station 26, our new neighborhood brewery
 Grant started the bear crawl in March and started doing this on a regular basis for crawling outdoors.  It cracks us up.  
 Grace is very in to fashion these days and loves to try on my shoes and scarves!
 I don't even remember what this was all about - they love to dress up!
 Griffin at soccer 
 Grant sitting in his high chair
 That hair!  : )
 Such sweet siblings
 They love to play in the creek at the park
 Life with 3 is a bit chaotic sometimes, so for awhile we were trying to have regular 'dates' with each kiddo.  Here are Griffin and Grace doing their hair for their dates with Mommy and Daddy. 
 This pretty much sums up our favorite weekend passtime: friends, soccer, and beer : )
 Riding around the race track
 Grace loves my scarf and her tricycle!
 Grant crawling up the steps - he was so proud of himself when he figured out how to do it!
 Griffin and Grace started sharing a room so that Grant could have his own room.  This is how we found them one night ... in the morning they told us they just wanted to sleep on the floor next to each other. 
 Our baby!
 Grant standing up ... he has been itching to walk for quite some time now!
 Sweet brothers
 Isaac and Griffin at soccer
 Grace and Griffin at their last soccer practice
We tried to get a group picture with Grace, Isaac, Griffin, Eli, and Cohen but some random kids joined in too.
