March Happiness

We welcomed spring earlier this year than normal in Denver.  Warmer temperatures, plentiful blossoms, and blue skies were easy to embrace.  However, there were times we couldn't pack our jackets quite yet.  Some people felt like winter was never-ending but the Helton boys felt like we didn't get our regular snowstorms to build snow forts. I love the time change and enjoying outdoors more. There's always endless fun with these boys.  Here's a bit of happiness in our month of March. 

Celebrated Dr. Seuss' 110th birthday with Cat in the Hat ice cream treat.

 What a paradox...boys barefoot with shorts on, in the snow. Sometimes that's how we can play in the spring here in Denver. 
Our annual visitors showed up again!
 St Patrick activities
Sugar cookies is always a hit! So delish!
Fruit Rainbow with a pot of gold at the end! Nice afternoon snack. 
 St. Patty's morning, I made spinach(to make them green) mint chocolate chip pancakes.
 Silas and I enjoy our mornings together while Jonas is at school.  Here's a moment with the Komodo Dragon at the zoo.
 We like to be outdoors as much as we can.  This park is so fun...can you tell it's a cowboy hat slide?
We have discovered a bike park in Boulder called Valmont Bike Park.  It's perfect for all levels of riding.  What a fun family outing!  



Ski season 2013-2014

Ski Season 2013-2014 was a huge success! After a few years of being on the bunny hill and using the harness on Silas, we graduated from the green runs to black runs this season and ripping it on the slopes as a family.  This is what skiing is all about....I love my family! Check out the pics and videos of our season.  Sad to see it go, but we are ready for next year! 







Quotes of the season:
Jonas-"Dad I like the slush better than ice but I like powder best of all."
Silas singing the Lego Movie theme song down the mountain-"Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you are a part of a team! Everything is awesome when you are living in your dream!"
