Trip to Snowmass!

We celebrated Easter in Snowmass this year. Jordan's friend Witt came with us, and so did our friends Jake, Libby, Stella and Spencer Smith. We had a great time! Here are the kids in the airport in Denver on the way to Snowmass.
It turned out that we had several travel obstacles. On the way to Snowmass, our flight was cancelled because of a snowstorm (very unusual for April in Snowmass). We spent 7 hours in the Denver airport. The boys played with cowboys and indians toys that we found at a toy store. Some other kids came to play with them as well. :)
And the little boys did take naps in the airport. Take a look at this comfortable airport floor!
When we finally got to the house, we were so excited!!
Jordan and Witt skied almost every day!
This was Elijah's first trip. He didn't spend much time in the snow, because it was so unusually cold, but he sure looked cute in his snowsuit!
Here we are eating lunch at the bottom of the mountain.

The big boys!
We had a great time with the Smith family!
If you've ever been to Snowmass, you know exactly where this photo was taken....or at least you should know. It's at Woody Creek Tavern...one of our favorite restaurants.
Here is Jaron's Easter basket that he got on Easter morning!
Here is Elijah with his very first Easter basket!
Our boys on Easter morning
Jordan and Witt went on a scavenger hunt across the house to search for their Easter baskets. The Easter bunny hid them in the shower...silly!
My little snuggle bunny!
These boys were fearless in the snow. They actually spent hours out there digging holes and sliding down hills. And throwing snowballs of course...
Here are Jaron and Stella doing some sliding down a hill out in the front of the house.
I truly think Jaron was ready to ski this year, but we had so much fun playing with our friends at home that we ran out of opportunities! Next year he's totally in.
Here are Jordan and Witt popping their heads out of the snow.
Good friends :)
We had to leave a day early in order to avoid another snowstorm, but we couldn't leave without taking one picture in our funny hats. Nice picture, Witt! We all look a little tired but at least we got the photo. Look how snowy it is!
Here is Jaron with the eggs he found on our little Easter egg hunt.
Jordan and Elijah hanging out in the hotel in Denver on the way home.
This is sort of out of order (sorry), but here are Witt and Jaron toasting our great trip with some yummy milkshakes from Boogies (the other place we ALWAYS eat when we go to Aspen.)
Big brother and little brother
One upside of us staying in a Denver hotel for one night was that the big boys got to go swimming! Fun!

So that was our trip! We had such a good time, despite the weather delays and changes. We really had a blessed Easter!

What We've Been Up To

This looks like a typical day at the Pierce home. We have spent a lot of time outside because the weather has been beautiful!
There are still a few cold days here and there....here are my boys in their vests. :)
I just have to keep including these of his sweet little face!
Another sweet little face!
Here we are getting frozen yogurt after Mother's Day Out.
We went to an Easter egg hunt, but were too late for the eggs, so we just played in the petting zoo with our friend, Creede Hudson!

Here we made it to another Easter egg hunt in UP. Jaron wanted to wear his train conductor costume. Kim and Mimi came with us!
Here's Kim helping him hunt for eggs. Kim and Mimi stood in line for balloon animals and face painting so that Jaron could do each of those activities. Thanks!!

Again, look at that cute little body! I think this child is actually posing for the camera!!
Jaron enjoyed Ava's 3rd birthday party at the end of March. We love you Ava and we miss you!
Jaron got Ava a Strawberry Shortcake house for her birthday.
Uncle Alan promptly found some superhero toys for Jaron to play with. :)

Spring Break in Austin!

We spent a great couple of days in Austin over Spring Break. We got to hang out with Cary's parents and several of our good friends. The first evening we arrived, we ate dinner outside at Central Market and played at their very cool playground.
Here are Baw-Paw and Jaron hanging out!
This is the super-cool house we stayed in. Lots of space for the boys to run around!
We went to the Austin Children's Museum one day. Here is Jaron making a pretend sandwich at their "restaurant."
Mmmmm...
Jordan built this at the Museum.
Daddy and Elijah just watched the big kids.
My little sweetie!
Here are Sandra and I in the coolest toy store ever. It's called Toy Joy and it's packed full of toys...Grammy let her boys go on a little shopping spree. Fun!
Here we are talking to Lissa and Marisol on Skype. Yes, we all talked at the same time!
David Horridge and his cute little boy Spencer came over to our house one morning for breakfast. Here are all the boys together.
Look at these sweet little snugglebears!
It was truly beautiful outside while we were in Austin.
Jordan at Barton Springs.

We also spent time with our friend Cree and our friends Charlotte and Ben (who were a couple of weeks away from having their first baby!) It was a great Spring Break.
