The Anderson's are Here!!

Our dear friends/neighbors are visiting...how we miss them! This is a pic from the annual Academy awards party we had together in 2005.

Drinking from a Glass!

Lately, Elli loves to lap water from a glass. Whenever I drink from a glass she gets so excited and wants some too.

March Highlights

Thought I would post some random pics of Houge times. Mom and Dad were out this weekend, but I didn't have my camera, so no pics, bummer. We, as always, had a wonderful time shopping and attending my cousin's wedding. Elli had her second chance at the Brown Palace and did pretty good. I don't think, though, we have to worry about her wanting a reception at the Brown Palace any time soon. At the same time, Paul flew to New York City for a friend's wedding. The first pic is of Prakash and Sajini's wedding in NYC. I had to put a pic of Elliana's rolls I have to clean:) She is not into the jump swing yet, as well as it's hard to fit her cheeks into her hat nowadays! The last pic is of her friend, Finn, wanting to talk to her. She is so fun to be with daily, some days we marvel that we get to be parents to her.

Spring is in the Air!

We are loving the weather lately! Rafa came over last weekend so we could celebrate his birthday and then Brian and Erica and their boy, Sterling, came over for a nice long walk in this beautiful weather! I had to take pics of our early spring flowers that didn't get the memo that it is still March!

Good Times in the Mountains!

So we have been too busy having fun, to update our blog lately, so here goes...Sunday we took off for the mountains and spent some extremely fun days with Jer, Kim and Aran. We went on hikes, Jer and Paul went downhill skiing. Then Kim and I went cross country skiing. Kim and Jeremy introduced sledding to Aran, which he loved and yesterday morning I snuck away while Elli was sleeping and got downhill skiing in. It was a perfect week to go up, because there was hardly anyone up there and I got to make new tracks on the ski trails...what a dream! Jeremy would make a yummy breakfast and it would be waiting for us when we woke up...life is good! We had such a packed fun filled time with the Balzers!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brown!

Last weekend was a blast...Holly and Paul got married! It was such an honor to be a part of their day and stand up with them as groomsman and bridesmaid. They have amazing friends/family who knew how to have a great time! Thursday I threw a bachelorette party for Holly and we enjoyed eating, playing glow in the dark mini golf. Friday Holly treated us all to pedi's and mani's. Saturday was absolutely beautiful! The church overlooked a lake and the weather couldn't have been better. I usually don't cry at weddings, but I did at theirs...I was so happy for them! They took their first kiss in front of everyone...yes, their FIRST KISS!!! Holly walked down the isle to a bagpiper and her dad, being scottish, wore a kilt. Holly is so organized that the whole day/weekend came off without a gliche. We are just so happy for our treasured friends!

Congrats Jackie!

Jackie was one super friend and babysat during Holly and Paul's wedding. Elli loved playing with her. After the reception, we just had to celebrate Jackie's long awaited book deal! We are so proud of her! We went to one of the best restaurants in Denver and ate an amazing meal. Each entree was an art piece. We couldn't even describe the flavors, because the chef created them so different than we have ever tasted. Needless to say, we had an awesome time with Jackie! Congrats, too!!!
