Dancing with Daddy

Camping

A few weekends ago we went camping with Kurt's company near Mammoth. Unfortunately, our camera died on the first day, but we were able to get a few cute pictures of our journey up there.

13 Weeks and Growing...

Hot Wheels With Uncle Nick

Nick and Jenny had Wes and I over tonight. Lately Wes has started to play with Hot Wheels which made Nick very excited, so he went out and got a bunch for next time we came over. Wes loved it! Nick set up a ramp and Wes got really into it.

Colorado-Day Three and Home

My last full day in Colorado we went to the zoo. Before the zoo we went Wes found one of Stacie's headband and put it on, lol. One of the really cool things at their zoo is that you get to feed the giraffes. I was really excited for Wes to get this opportunity, but he was super scared and would only bury his head in my chest when we were close. We also stopped by the playground at the zoo. Wes of course went straight for climbing. Later that night Pat took care of the kids so we could have some fun girl time. He took them on a two hour bike ride! For our fun girl time we decided to go shopping, which is soooo much easier without a bored toddler. We found some great deals in Gymboree and also got to browse in some other stores. The flight home went so well, I actually teared up in joy at the end. First Wes and I got our own row to ourselves. He was so excited to have room to move and play with his cars. When we took off I had to hold Wes in my lap and he fell asleep and stayed asleep the entire time. It was so special to have two hours of cuddle time with my normally wiggly boy. To top it off, one of the flight attendants was one of the funniest guys I have ever met and at the end of the flight some actor I've never heard of got up in the front of the flight and proposed to his girlfriend.

It was such a great trip and great time with an old friend. I am so glad we were able to go.

Colorado -Day Two

On our first full day in Colorado, it was still a little rainy in the morning so we decided to check out the Focus on the Family indoor playground. I think it is made for slightly older kids, but we still had fun.

At lunch the kiddos especially enjoyed eating the whipped cream off of their free sundaes.

Like I said before, Wes really enjoyed playing with all of Baily's toys.

That night we all went to a local minor league baseball game. It only cost $2 to get in! It was pretty cold but also fun. Baily danced the night away to all the music, she did great at standing by mommy and daddy, while Wes was not content unless he was walking around the stadium.

Colorado - Day One

Well, as you may be able to tell from my lack of posting, I haven't been feeling so well lately, but I am feeling a little better each day and hoping to get back to regular posting (as well as actually getting stuff done around the house, lol). A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege to go visit my college roommate, Stacie and her family, hubby Pat and kiddos Baily (23 months) and Bryce (3 months) in Colorado. Praise the Lord, I felt pretty good while I was out there and had a great time catching up and seeing Colorado.

I was super nervous for the 2 1/2 hour flight, Wes is all boy and not inclined to sitting still for more than 30 seconds. Armed with lots of fruit snacks, lollipops, brand new matchbox cars and a portable dvd player, the flight went much better than I thought it would, with only a few quick screams from Wes. Of course, he fell asleep seconds before we landed and stayed asleep through baggage claim and for most of the ride into Colorado Springs.

Shortly after getting on the road we hit a major storm that lasted for a while, so our first night was spent in, which was just fine with Wes. It was like Christmas for him with all these different toys to play with.

Before bed we were able to video chat with Kurt (who was out of town as well). Wes and Baily both thoroughly enjoyed that.
