Springer Potpourri

This one is for Dad! Thanks for your help! Scott left on a business trip and I was left to tie Garrett's tie all on my own. Had to call Dad for emergency tie tying lesson. It is way too short, but there was no way I was going to do it again! These are the kids matching Easter outfits! So much fun!

Our trip to Whistler, Canada (although not FRANCE! WOW to the Pope's!) Was very fun and a total blast. I think our favorite part of the whole trip was sleeping the whole night, without any interruptions, traveling 9 hours in the car without a single fight, or "she's touching me" (well, except the one huff I got into because I thought Scott got into the slowest lane at the border crossing.... hey I didn't say that all 3 year old behavior got left behind =). We skiied, ate great food, enjoyed a fantastic room, and all together celebrated 10 wonderful years of married bliss (well, 98.7% bliss)

Aubrey had a great princess birthday. Mom and Dad, Ty and Adria and Family came down for the festivities. All the kids dressed up in their Princess (or knight in Garrett's case) best. What fun!

We had a leprachaun visit our house on St Patty's Day. It turned all our food green! This picture was just a classic, had to share!

France Trip - Eiffel Tower

The famous Eiffel Tower with the Popes. Plus at Notre Dame.

France Trip - The land of Romance

This is on the boat tour. We heard from Mom and Dad that you have to kiss under every bridge and you get good luck. There were 22 bridges we crossed under and we didn't miss a single one. :-D

France Trip - Cont'd

The first is our tiny, tiny hotel room and the second is us trying to fit into the elevator with our things the first day. And then it is a picture of our first siting of the Eiffel Tower.

France Trip - Mountains, Mountains, Mountains

These are some amzing views from the top of the resort as well as a picture of us in the little village of Chamonix early one morning.

France Trip - French Ski Bums!

This is us actually skiing in Chamonix. This is at the top of the mountain.

France Trip - Hotel in Chamonix, France

This is our little hotel in Chamonix. We started our France trip here and our room was...on the small side but it was all good. As you can see, the mountains are a beautiful backdrop.

Great Grandma

We visited with Great Grandma Gundersen yesterday, and she looked great! Emma loved getting to know her Great Grandma. We sure had a fun time!

Happy Birthday, Misty!

We love you, Aunt Misty! Have a happy, happy birthday!!

 

Windstar

This is what the Windstar looked like from the land in full sail. It was a beautiful ship!! I don't know how they kept it there, because we were the ones taking this picture. I guess they wanted us to see what it looked like.

Cruising Costa Rica

Oh, you are so lucky! You get to see all of our pictures from Costa Rica. Sit down and relax. This will take some time:)

This is the hotel that we stayed at at the beginning of our trip and at the end. Very nice!!

This is what our cabins looked like on board the ship. Very cozy!!

The next two are our big adventure on the ATV's. We all felt that this was the most fun of the whole trip. We rode these for 3 hours and saw some beautiful country.

While traveling through the coconut plantation, we came across 3 little puppies that were scampering along our path. I had to pick one up. There was no mother around. As you can tell, we went along some really dusty roads. We were covered in red dust.

Happy Birthday, Aubrey!

We're Rolling!!

It's official! As of March 15, 2006, at approximately 3:28 pm, Emma has mastered the roll! Unfortunately, I missed the first one. I had set her down on her back behind me, and when I looked back, she was on her stomach! But I had no need to worry. Once she did it the first time, there was no stopping her. I think she has rolled over at least 10 times since then. Just thought we'd share this momentous occasion with all of you!
