So Sleepy

Out like a light with her new teddy bear, which she named "teddy bear" and her monkey, which is name "he-hoh" (which is the sound a donkey makes but when she was little she got it confused)

Happy Birthday Sophie

Happy 10th Birthday to our sweet and loving niece Sophie!

We love you and hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Anna Kates turns 2

Birth Day

1st Birthday Day, such a cutie!

Is the saying terrific 2's or terrible 2's? 

I think I know the answer...

Luckily she is a great sleeper, that is all I am saying!

October 2010

So where did the month of October run off to...

waiting for daddy to finish the race!

Mimi and Papa came to visit

 Boulder trip on Pearl Street:

Crocs were founded in Boulder and they recently opened a Crocs store. Madeline has big shoes to fill.

We all went to Estes Park:

Having fun in the car...or am I going a little nuts in the very back of the car?! :-)

We watched the amazing autumn colors. I can't believe we live here! Unbelievable!

Madeline is in Ballet classes:

And of course Halloween!

Pumpkins, Mountain Fun & More

The end of September:

Pumpkin Contest...the biggest one weighed something like 1200+ pounds. Unbelievable in person!

Anna Kate's pushing her little pumpkin on her stroller.

Evergreen, CO

A little mountain town with things to discover

The girls were obsessed with popsicles this year like never before...

Last but not least, a swing for both the girls to share in the park by Madeline's school.

Her new favorite spot

I found her talking to mom on the phone like this.

Madeline tells me her new thing is "climbing like a bear!"

I am sure there is a pun to this, so whomever gets the funniest pun wins :-)

September -Fun Family Time!

I can't believe September is almost over! Another busy month for us.

Steven and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.

Madeline's first day of school- all smiles! Whew, I was a little nervous of the tears but she did great!

Here's some Alexandria Zoo pics from our camera

Cutest little niece, Baby T, look at this kissable face

 Mom and Dad's heaven:

Ruston Trip

Emma and me

Olivia and Anna Kate

Proud Papa, surprise pic! Your welcome Papa :-)

Joseph came up to Ruston to visit

These 2 pics are from the ride home from Ruston, La to Colorado - kids got bored and started finding things to do (or pick) on the long ride home.

Highlands Ranch Days (hometown's historic festival)

This is held where the original "Highlands Ranch" still stands and is a working ranch, not to mention the mansion. Loved learning the history of this amazing place.

Birthday Time. Steven and Madeline made a cake. It was so yummy!

I turned 31 years old which sounds like an adult, grown-up age but, I really don't feel like that :-) 

My Anna Banana came to visit from Italy. So good to see her. She is a little tan, I am NOT and looking a little tired in this pic. Great visit though.
