my springtime cuties

I haven't taken portrait type pics of the girls in a long time - so I tried the other day - no one was feeling particularly cooperative - but I got a few good ones anyway.

Miss Jordyn is becoming quite the photographer herself - she took this picture of me - I sure am proud of her ;)

Avery's First Haircut

It was hard to say goodbye to those last few sweet baby curls, but it had to be done - I even did it myself.

It does look much less ratty now and is way easier to comb - & I saved a curl for the baby book :)

Jordyn and our giant cat Asher (a.k.a. Mao) all stretched out. It should be noted that Mao is nice to Jordyn almost always and is mean to almost everyone else - he lets her pet him and lay on him and they nap together nearly every day.

Avery rockin' the Princess Leia buns

and the rubber mallet????! Yikes!

It was really cold last week and it snowed a lot and the girls had a blast spray painting the snow in our yard.

Just being silly.

And the newest "part-time" Broughton Girl is baby Sofia, who we are taking care of a couple of afternoons during the week. Isn't she a doll?!

A Whirlwind Weekend in the Mountains

We took a trip up to Dillon this weekend and there was SNOW!

Lots and lots of snow.

These girls had so much fun playing in it.

They also found the world's biggest icicle - it was at least 4 feet long and 4 inches thick!

They made snow angels too!

And some after breakfast arts and crafts.

The house we stayed at had plenty of comfy couches, but this is the way Avery watched TV

We tried Ice Skating! (It was a bit too hard for Avery yet)

Jordyn really started to get the hang of it and she LOVED it! We have to go again soon.

And we found a HUGE sled hill.

Ready, Set, GO!

It was a long climb back up the hill.

We went super fast, but it was really cold when the snow blew in our faces.

It was also pretty windy so we didn't stay too long, but everyone had a couple of runs.

And a couple of long hikes back to the top.

We also spent some quality time with good friends, met some new friends and had fun playing in the hot tub (I don't have any pics as I was busy trying to make sure no one drowned.) Trevor even got to snowboard for the first time in 3 years! All in all - it was a much needed weekend away and everyone had a great time! FUN FUN FUN
