2016 Week 16

 We've been practicing the art of origami lately.

I love the colors and shapes.

The crane is still my nemesis. 

 In typical Colorado spring fashion, it was warm enough for popsicles one day

and snow covered the next!

Saturday was a snowy day and that lead to the perfect night for 

homemade pizza, awesome beer, and our first family viewing of Harry Potter.

The perfect night!

 We went to CU and had lots of fun on campus checking out a lego exhibit,

 and trying on some football gear!

2016 Week 12

In true Colorado form, we got a huge snowstorm this week.

The powers that be predicted a few inches and we had about 8 when we woke up on Friday.

The best part about spring snow though,

is how fast it melts. 

It's been two days and the roads and sidewalks are completely clear

and there is just a few inches left on the grass.

My tulips were already 6 inches up, so we'll see how they survive!

Sunday - Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. 

Monday - Spaghetti with crumbles, served with salad and fruit.

Friday - Homemade pizza and a movie night.

Saturday - Dinner out!

Oh man, Scott and I had a great trip to Napa.

It was so fun to spend a week just being a couple, 

just the two of us exploring a new place.

Now we're are back in the real world and these little people in my life 

have come to demand eating a few times a day!

Dinners this week:

Sunday - Grilled chicken and tofu, sweet potatoes and sautéed veggies with rice.

Monday - Happy Pi day! We're having a spinach and asparagus quiche followed by chocolate pie.
