Our winter has been a crazy one. From the very warm temperatures, constant sickness, to the decision to move. So here goes a quick (maybe long) recap of it.
Like I said we had a very sick season. Last year maybe a cold here and there, but this year it was non-stop fevers, vomiting, diarrhea. Oh ya and croup! I was ready to rip my hair out at times, but we managed. We stayed busy with forts, baking, and lots and lots of dance parties.
Yummy muffins.
Dancing! Notice Owen's dress-up clothes to match Mari.
It felt like spring most the winter with the abnormally warm temps and lack of snow. Not complaining, but it is our lively hood to have snow. Anyway we took advantage of the warm weather. Trips to the donut shop!
Lunches outside.
And lots of playing outside.
One of my chefs.
The kids even got new bikes since we had no snow.
There were mascot Olympics on the mountain and we got to take a picture with the Denver Bronco mascot. I forgot his name since I'm not really a fan of them.
The Easter Bunny was a huge hit.
Showing off their bunny hats after we went to the library.
Happy Easter from my beautiful girl and handsome man.
Then there was the decision that had been looming over our heads all winter. Do we move back to Michigan for good or stay in Breckenridge. Well, we finally made the choice to move to MI. Greg is back working with his Dad and another partner company. It's year round(we don't know what to think about that). A hard decision but nonetheless a good one for our family.

Since we were moving my parents came out to visit and help pack. We were going through Mari's baby clothes to give to my niece. As you can see the kids found some fun old clothes.
Mari and I had a girl day before we left. Some shopping and a mani/pedi.
Leaving the ewok village.
We had a birthday party for Owen while we visited Missouri. It was a fire truck themed party. Aunt Sarah was able to schedule a visit to the fire station. These kids were so excited.
Check out those future firemen. Thanks Peck family for the wonderful outfit. We love being a fireman.
Mari got to take a picture with the real fireman.
The best part was getting to sit in the truck.
Here is his cake that we made. It was a fun birthday.
Then we made our way to Michigan. The weather has been wonderful and the kiddos are loving all the space to play and ride their bikes. They are getting so good!
Helping me get a few groceries. This is a cute idea when it is not your children using them.
We had many parties for Owens birthday. We went to dinner and Craig's Cruisers with Grandpa & Grandma Nienhouse. We fed fish, played mini golf, and rode go carts.
We are taking full advantage of all the wonderful parks around here.
We celebrated again with Nana and Grandpa Keating by going on a boat ride and then enjoying some cake and presents.
Here is the Birthday Boy on his actual birthday. We had a great day playing and relaxing.
Jumping off the dock in the frigid water. Burrrr!!
And lastly the bucket to get the sand off our feet that Owen tried to convince us was good enough for his bath. I think not mister.
We are enjoying our time so far and Greg's job is going well. We miss all our friends back in Breckenridge and hope to see you all soon. When we get settled into our own place we are hoping for lots of visitors. Hugs to all!!
