Tim, Lilly, and I went to Tucson for spring break again. We have gone every year since Granny and Papa moved there. My parents have a vacation home 17 houses up from them. I took about a million pictures (I know that is hard to believe), but I won't bore you with all of them....just a couple thousand. :)
Jill, Jason, and Kaylie were there when we arrived, and we were so happy to spend 2 days with them. Kaylie and Lilly have so much fun together...
Granny and Papa have season tickets to the Rockies training camp. They are sad that training camp is moving to Phoenix, but will still attend as many games as possible. Whenever we visit we go to a game or two. Here are some pictures of us at the games the week of spring training...
The day we went with Jill, Jason, and Kaylie was fan appreciation day and the fans got to go on the field to meet the players.
I do a pretty good job at pretending I LOVE baseball...I really don't know anything more than throwing a ball and trying to hit it with a bat, then running from base to base. I definitely don't know the players except Todd Helton because my sister is in LOVE with him....and he is old!!!! Sorry Jill...
This guy is a big player (I think) and he isn't too bad looking...
No idea who this is, but he's pretty cute as well...
Soaking up the sun on the field....
There is a military base very close to the baseball field and they were practicing for an airshow for the next day. The girls thought it was pretty cool...so did we!!!
Here is Earth Man...he is one of the coolest, weirdest, and busiest beer men I've ever met. He wears his cell phone around his neck and you can call him anytime to bring you a beer. He does several events in Tucson and Colorado (Rockies, stock show, rodeo, etc.).
Doofus!!!!!!
Love the backwards hat!
The winning score...run...goal...touchdown...whatever...
Kissing cousins...
Pajamas...check...baby....check...purse....check...blow up palm tree...check...READY TO GO! 
Ahhhh.....LOVE it....especially the cute little wrinkles on her legs.. :) 
Again with the palm tree...and chowing down on tomatoes. Ewe!
The DiPaolo home....
Lilly is a natural swimmer....loves the water!
Happy hour...Unfortunately Tim and I are faking smiles because Granny kicks our butts at cards every time!!! Notice the BIG grin on her face :)
Jill, my cousins, and I all used to cuddle with Papa in his "chair" and now Kaylie and Lilly do. Papa may be a Doofus, but he is an amazing Papa! 
So peaceful and quiet....doesn't happen much... :)
One of my best friends (and Tim's) came to Tucson with us....Julie and Garrett. They have the most beautiful and happy baby I've ever met. Here is Blake eating....
Dr. Mitchell and his fam....
Here I am getting my baby fix....
Blake is obviously adorable, and the cutest (and funniest) thing she did was poop in the bath/sink...what kid doesn't poop in the sink or bathtub???? I'm a wierdo and took a picture of it, but will not share (until Blake has a boyfriend...protective "aunt"). Here is one of my favorite pics of her... 
(crazy people...Garrett and I)

The DiPaolo home....I'll add this to "Jill's Book!" If you aren't sure what that is I'd be happy to share....because I LOVE MY SIS!!! By the way, she hates me for this.....
Cutest little thing ever!!! 
She was posing for the camera, I couldn't stop laughing and taking pictures....

Chrissy, Ben, Garrett, Julie, Lindsay, and Tim....
Garrett...or should I say "Dr. Mithchell" works about 700,000,000 hours a week......he was in NEED of a vacation!Chrissy, Ben, Garrett, Julie, Lindsay, and Tim....Here is a little history lesson: Tim, Garrett, and Ben went to highschool together and played soccer together and were best friends in junior and high school (elementary even!) , and Julie and I became BFFs in high school. Julie's little sister and mine (Stephanie and Jill) are also best friends, and we all hang out toghether with our family, friends, and kiddos. Steph and I went to UNC together for awhile and hung out a lot. Tim and I started dating in 1996...14 years ago (my high school sweetheart...and best friend). I married Tim, Julie married Garrett, and Ben married Chrissy. We're all Arvada West-ies!!!
Now a history test will be given:
Name the following people....
(Julie, Chrissy, Lindsay)(Dr. Mitchell)
(Ben and Chrissy)
Rockies....
Granny and Papa's house... (same house as mom and dad, but backwards...same color even!)
Granny and Papa's house... (same house as mom and dad, but backwards...same color even!) Granny is obsessed with pigs...she has hundreds/thousands of pigs (stuffed animals, clay or glass pigs, ornaments, plates, coffee cups, collectables, etc.). Here are some of her x-rated pigs that I think are too funny not to share...
Sleepy baby!
My faviorite picture of Blake...SO cute!!!
Lilly was making a "drink" mixing lemon juice and lime juice (EWE!)...she drank it and loved it
:(~
We all had happy hour while Papa cooked...
Ahhhhhh....
Since we were only a few houses away, Tim let Lilly "drive"
What a great spring break!
