Cinnamon Pizza Buns

This weekend we made cinnamon buns using pizza dough!  Lauren (left) and Emily (right) sprinkled raisins and apricots on the dough.

The frosting was made of whipped cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon.  The girls licked the bowl clean!

The finished product!

Hiking at Cooper Mountain Nature Park

The weather this weekend was sunny and warm, so we decided to go for a short hike at the Cooper Mountain Nature Park!

Breakfast With Friends

The Walshes and the Kims came over this weekend for breakfast!  It's always so great to see old friends.  Melissa brought a tripod so we were able to get a picture of the whole group.

Tandem Biking

This weekend we tried out tandem biking with the girls!  

Lauren loved it!  She sang the "Go Diego Go!" song as we biked.  

Justin and Emily stopping for a break.  

Emily loved biking too!

Justin and Emily like to go fast!  We all had a great time and look forward to more bike rides this summer!

Easter Festivities

We love baking and eating treats!  Here is Lauren mixing the wet ingredients.

Emily mixing the dry ingredients.

The chocolate cupcake recipe we used had no eggs in it, so the girls licked the batter bowl clean!

We went to the park to play while the cupcakes cooled and then started decorating.

Chocolate cupcakes with toasted coconut and robin eggs!

On Easter morning, the girls were delighted to discover that the Easter Bunny had hidden eggs throughout the house!

 Each dyed egg was carefully decorated with stickers.

In the afternoon we visited the Kisors for lunch with cousins Kali and Kay!

Party Time at Out of This World Pizza!

This weekend the girls went to Liam's 2nd birthday party at Out of This World Pizza!  The plasma car area is always popular.  Emily is wearing the purple shirt and Lauren is wearing the pink shirt.

Enjoying pizza with the birthday boy!
