april

first, some random shots:

 watching a video on mommy's phone - this probably lasted about 3 seconds for freddy

    

baby einstein.  i love how freddy keeps looking at laurel.

go braves!  one more at-bat before bedtime...

 

 he's on the move now, all the time.  and he's obsessed with balls.

the second half of april was super busy.  we had lots of visitors.  we've got one more year out here in beautiful colorado, so come see us while you can!

 picking up pops and abbi at the denver airport

 we went to vail for closing weekend of ski season.  too bad there was NO SNOW!

we had fun anyway, exploring the village, working puzzles, having ice cream, etc

look at our mountain view.  that's a ski run - more mud than snow.  it was still beautiful though.  can you see the little creek that ran by our condo?

 

 i didn't take many photos that weekend.  too busy visiting and relaxing.  thanks pops and abbi!

 the next weekend, our friend nate justiss, a.k.a. "uncle tate washington" came to see us. 

 

he picked a gorgeous weekend.  we had a great little hike in waldo canyon, just south of town.

 
the fredster.  always up for the next activity.

 
laurel is getting to be a good little hiker!  you can see pike's peak in the top right photo

perfect picnic spot 

 

 

 
nate the great!  thanks for coming to see us!


then our buddies emily and molly paige steinfort stopped for a day/night on their way to texas.  once again, i should've taken more pictures. 

 

these two play so well together.  here they are watching american idol.

and...

cutest.  ever.
