Colorado...


Flying into the Springs!! Alaina LOVED flying and said she wanted to live in the plane. She took this picture!

Big Matt, Jen, and Alaina....Jen is Alaina's new best friend. She LOVED her! Thanks for making her feel so special, Jen!


Great Auntie Shirley and Isabel....


Us girls!


This was really fun.....I never dreamed I'd be nose to nose with a giraffe! It was so cool!! Just had to watch out for their tongues!

Alaina is feeding a giraffe crackers!


Big Matt, Jen, and Issy.....Cute, right??!!


Issy and Big Matt. He told me that "this parenting business isn't too hard", as he's throwing Issy into the air and catching her! :)


Big Mark had a HUGE collection of hats. Auntie Shirley took them out so Alaina could have a little parade of hats! This was my favorite picture.


Here in the Garden of the Gods.....Alaina was having a little "off" day. She was too scared to stand there on her own!


While we were there Alaina learned how to play Sequence, Uno, and Skip-bo. She was queen of each game and it was hard to beat her!


It was Uncle Jaan's birthday on Thursday. When Alaina got up he went back to bed so we could sing to him, eat donuts (that she picked out), and give him presents in bed! Alaina got him this cat, she named Goldie, at the MSP airport. It was a hit. She just knew that he would LOVE it and he did!!*grin* She doesn't know the truth that his love of cats is only sarcastic!! Goldie will be around for a long time.....

Some birthday fun.


Alaina decorated these cookies and had to make it real special for her and Jen. She even put on her fancy Easter dress!




All of us!


We had such a good time! Thank you so much, Uncle Jaan, Auntie Shirley, Big Matt, and Jen! Next time we come out we'll bring all the troops!
