Crafts with Grandma during spring break!

Lost tooth

John went to great lengths to be like his big sister.

Step 1: Wipe out on the front steps and bend two teeth backward. One tooth grew back into place, but the other couldn't be saved

Step 2: Have tooth extracted.

Step 3: Tooth fairy!

Before the dentist. 

 TV on the ceiling. This was his face the entire time. The dentist was amazed at his demeanor.

Couch time.

Spring break picnic

Picnic lunch at a brewery near downtown!

St. Patrick's lunch

Picnic lunch and games at a new brewery near our house to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on Sunday.

Last Buffs' home game

Chris and Leanne have sat in front of us at the Buffs' games for years, but they happened to be in Hawaii for the last game of the season on Saturday. So they gave us their tickets so all four of us could go to a weekend afternoon game!

Although only one child was adventurous enough to walk over to Chip for a photo...

Last Regis home game

Senior Night was full of excitement...

Jarrett. 

 

Shelby.

This was supposed to be the normal one. 

And this was supposed to be the goofy one. John was a bit confused.
