Bubbles with Cosmo



Meet Cosmo.  Uncle Todd's dog.  He looks scary, but he's not.  In fact, he's the opposite.  An absolute love.  He's incredibly gentle with the kids (with the exception of his wagging tail - it could cause injury), super playful with his cousin Brooklyn, and completely obsessed with Todd. 

Oh, and he likes bubbles :)

End of the ski season

We enjoyed a last weekend in Tahoe, marking our last up there for this ski/snowboard season. 

The weekend started off with beautiful, spring-like weather conditions.  We spent the day sledding, playing outside, and enjoying lunch around the fire pit....

Mia with Brooklyn

Playing with the dogs (notice how Brooklyn is just laying in the snow ... this is her absolute FAVORITE thing to do and she never gets cold, even after HOURS ... crazy!)

...only to be met the following day with a huge snow storm!

Our final day ended with perfect conditions, so Luke got up on the mountain to take his final lesson this year with Jay.

Easter morning 2010

Here is our morning in photos ...

The Bunny came overnight ... here is what he brought before he hid these goodies around the house:


Mia is the first up and enjoys some quiet time with her balloon from the Easter Bunny


Satya and Luke wake up and start hunting for baskets and treats from the Bunny ... Luke finds a basket full of goodies and a t-ball set!



Mia gets her first pair of sunglasses in her Easter basket


Brunch and the rest of the family arrive - Mia and Grandma hang out inside during the (cold) outdoor egg hunt


The egg hunt is on ... Luke loves looking for eggs, and eventually employs Paw to carry around his basket because it gets too heavy!

Satya picks up the most cleverly hidden egg by scaling the swing set! She is so sweet to Luke and even adds some of her findings to his basket.

Back inside after the hunt, Satya swings Mia to sleep...

...and the dogs are released out back - Luke wishes he could jump in and roll around with them!


Thankfully, Uncle Todd joins in the fun out back and quenches Luke's desire for chaos as everyone, dogs included, have a wild party in Luke's fort

By the time everyone leaves, Mia is asleep, Luke is asleep, and Mommy and Daddy wish they were alseep!
