Easter

For Easter, we headed to Denver, CO to visit my sister Maggie, her husband,Chris, and3-yr old son, Sam. We had a great time. Unfortunately, Matty now knows how boring his house is compared to Sam's house where there are three dogs, a huge sandbox, an indoor jumpy-castle, stairs with NO GATE, and a nearby rec center with an AWESOME pool and indoor kids jungle gym. Whew! No wonder Matty slept so well while we were there!

We also were able to catch up with our friends Tanuj and Amy, and their daughters Zinnia and Sage, and our friends Jenni and Brian and their daughters Hannah and Natalie while in Denver. The bunch of us enjoyed lunch at Tanuj & Amy's and an impromptu 1st birthday celebration for Sage before heading to the Denver zoo on Saturday. I was very impressed with the big cats at the Denver zoo - they actually moved around! We seem to always catch the big cats sleeping at the Houston zoo...

Despite a cold Easter morning (there's no way it was more than 40 degrees), Sam and Matty had a great time collecting eggs during the egg hunt in Chris & Maggie's neighborhood, and we enjoyed a terrific dinner that afternon.

Here are a few pictures from the trip...you can click on any of them to see the full album..

We also got Matty a sand and water table recently since he LOVES playing with both substances (especially together). Here's a good one of him playing with the water...there are ALOT more in the album - I went a little nuts on the pictures.

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

We all laughed a lot at "Big Jump". The fall was the best part. Good thing he only went up one step! Josh likes watching Matty videos. He's getting so big!

Super cute - as always. (Juan is censoring me, so I am not allowed to say any more than that.)
