Amelia's 5th birthday cake and party with friends on Sat. Then that night they wanted to sleep together or rather Amelia wanted ot sleep with Lauren. Lauren is sort of a solo sleeper...likes her space. Anyway they were too cute.

Amelia and Lauren with their cousins at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival.

The Cherry Creek arts festival this year. The last pic is of the kids learning to do the hula. Really cute.

What great sisters!

Chris' birthday and his precious ice cream cake that he requested. We made it out of cookie dough, cookie dough ice cream, vanilla ice cream and whip cream. He liked it, which was great. I guess I'm not really a big fan of ice cream.

Fun pictures of Lauren. The last one is Lauren on Father's Day.

Still at Chatauqua park on our hike. Beautiful day and a bit windy/chilly.

This is the Willford clan at Chatauqua Park in Boulder. The first pic is at the Chatauqua Dining Hall where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beware though....we ordered scrambled eggs and a pancake for Lauren and the pancake was at least 7 inches in diameter and the eggs would have filled an entire regular sized cereal bowl. I had the eggs benedict and I thought they were good, but not necessarily amazing.
Then we went for a hike/walk in the actual park towards the flat irons and that was very pretty. However I wouldn't reccomend it if you are quite pregnant. :)

The Rockies game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Can anyone be surprised that they beat them. I was not, however I am surprised at how badly the Rockies are doing in their season. Chris taught Lauren to say, "Go Rockies" but of course she says it her own way, "Go Rockas!"

I don't know why I'm posting the top one. I just thought it was funny. And the last one is of Amelia at her 'field day' for school. They won a few times at tug-o-war.

Amelia's class play the Hungry Caterpillar.

Lauren was really happy to stay under the dinosaur on such a sunny day at the park. The last pic is when Lauren was so quiet while I was in the kitchen and I was amazed when I found her in the camping chair with her baby and her blanket just reading her book. She sat there for such a long time.

This is the Easter Egg Hunt at DU. Lauren got a huge haul!

Lauren loves books and likes to jump in the blanket basket to read them.

The bottom pic is when we wrapped Amelia's hair in rags for ringlets.

It has been a long time since we've posted new pictures. These are just some of our fav pics especially Amelia's root beer bottle.
