Capaw and Junior's Visit

Andrew's parents flew in to visit us this past week. They were finally able to meet our sweet little Macie. During their stay, Chloe decided what names she was going to give her Washington grandparents. "Capaw" was Chloe's cute way of saying "Grandpa", and "Grammy Jr." quickly turned into just "Junior". It was hilarious hearing Chloe calling through the house "Junior, Junior"!

We had a wonderful week spending time together as a family. We are so blessed that our girls have such wonderful grandparents who love and adore them. Andrew and I are thankful for their constant encouragement and willingness share their godly wisdom with us.

We have a plethora of pictures from this week since every moment is a picture moment in the Shearer family! :) There are too many great shots to post but here are a few of my favorites:














Handy dandy Grandpa did lots of projects for me this week!

This wins my "Favorite Picture of the Week" award



Thank you, Mom and Dad, for making the trip out here. Chloe and Macie are most definitely going through grandparent withdrawal! Please move here soon! We love you and miss you so much already!

Loads of Snow in April

We came home from Copper Mountain on Saturday to tons of snow, probably one of the biggest snowfalls of the season. Andrew took Chloe outside to build a snowman...well Andrew built it and Chloe sat on the steps and gave orders. Unfortunately for Chloe, the snow didn't last very long. The next day, she looked out the window and chanted many times, "Snowman fall over". Sure enough, our poor snowman had lost his head!

Copper Mountain

The day after Easter, we drove up to Copper Mountain. Mike, Julie, and Jenna flew out from California for the week to hang out and snowboard with us. My aunt and cousin also joined us for a few days. Julie was very sweet and babysat the girls so that I could enjoy the snow. We had a great week complete with an awesome last day of knee deep powder and endless fresh snow!

Yep, that's my crazy brother...I'm not sure how I feel about his obsession with Indian angels!

Easter

Here are a few pictures of our girls in their Easter dresses. Trying to get a cute picture of both of them together was difficult! This was the best we could do.

California

The girls and I have been in California at my parents' house for the last 3 weeks. We flew out because my Grandma had a heart attack and was in the hospital. Thankfully, her stay in the ICU was short, so we have been able to enjoy spending time with her at home. The girls have been thoroughly spoiled by everyone! I've really appreciated the extra help. We're saying our goodbyes and flying home on Thursday. Chloe and Macie aren't going to know what to do without all their entertainment!

My little sister has taken some cute pictures while we've been here...

























I'm not sure what to think about this last picture but it makes me laugh every time I see it!
