Easter Festivities and Rockies Opening Day

We celebrated Easter with the Marsh family a week early since Rick and Kathie went to Oklahoma over Easter weekend.  It's always a blast getting all 6 of the grandkids together!


Carter showing Payton and Dalton the ropes now that he's mobile!
Riley and Owen had matching swords.  Not very Easter-y, but they had fun with them!
Predictably, Carter was more interested in the bag that his Easter gifts from Grandma came in than what was actually in the bag.
Oh yeah, it was my birthday too.  We were recovering from the '70s flashback party the night before.  Little did we know that later on that evening, we'd be ravaged by a nasty stomach virus that took down 11 party goers.  I've named it The Polyester Plague of 1974.
Steve's recovery from the night before included sleeping on the floor while the boys walked on his back.
We did a little egg dyeing, too!
Gavin and Dalton lookin' sharp in their vests and hats!  The hats were so cute, I had to get one for Carter too...
Princess Payton in her pretty pink gown!
All 6 grandkids!
Proud Grandma and Bubba!

Last Friday was Rockies Opening Day.  Riley has not missed an Opening Day game since he was 3 weeks old!  Usually I go too, but since I have no more personal leave, I didn't get to.  I actually ended up having to stay home with Carter, who was sick.  Riley and Steve were so excited for the game!  They went with our good friends, the Evans family.  The twins, Ty and Tanner, are Riley's best buddies!
The morning started off at Gunther Toody's for breakfast.  Carter and I got to tag along!

Then off to downtown to cheer on the Rocks!1-2-3...
GO ROCKIES!

Afro-robo Rockies guy....I don't think the twins were too excited about him!
No trip to the ballpark would be complete without blue cotton candy!!

Right after the Rockies game, we headed to Colorado Springs to spend Easter weekend with my parents.

Nice bath helmet!
We did some more egg decorating!
Me and my pop!
Carter and Riley have almost the same expression on their faces!
Fancy crazy eggs!
The Easter Bunny brought an Army Easter basket!
Remember I said I had to get a cute hat for Carter?  Can you take it??

My two handsome boys!
I can't believe how big Riley is getting.  

Family pic time!
Gran-Gran and General love their boys.

Lookin' money!
We had brunch at the Garden of the Gods Country Club by my parent's house.  It was delicious!  They even had a kids' buffet set up down low where kids could reach.  It had chicken fingers, mac and cheese, jell-o, fluffernutter sandwiches and cookies!  What a great idea!
That is one huge rabbit!
Egg hunt at Gran and General's house!  Riley found all 31 eggs!

Lots of Easter fun!!
