Monster Jam!

We took the kids to Monster Jam! It's amazing the things you will do for your kids happiness! Boston was in HEAVEN and has not stopped talking about his "Donkey Kong" since we left the show! I have to admit it was quite entertaining!

Donkey Kong! Bostons Favorite!

Bostons face the entire night!

"Mom, not another picture!" I just love this kid!

Bryn 1/2 Birthday!

No, we generally don't celebrate 1/2 birthdays around here but Brooklyn has a summer Birthday and has never been able to celebrate with her friends at Montessori.... So this year we decided to celebrate her 1/2 Birthday.. It was so sweet! Circling the sun & Hello Kitty cupcakes.. What more could a girl want?

For the Grandmas!

I know I am so terrible at posting lately... Life just seems to be so busy and I'm sure it's not going to slow down anytime soon... Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to...

Brooklyn has been enjoying her ballet and tap class with Cousin Allison!

We had a night out as a family at one of my favorite childhood spots! We ate at the Trail Dust in South Denver and did a little dancing, a little playing & a lot of eating!

More updates to come! We have a very busy weekend coming up... Brooklyn's 1/2 Birthday celebration at Montessori, the kids virgin ski adventure and a crazy trip to the Monster Jam! Hope everyone is doing well! Hugs! a

Re-Cap of 2008 Goals!

Re-Cap of 2008 goals, here is my report card, I fell a little short... but was impressed that I actually accomplished a few! ( In case you missed it last year, click here)

1. Yes, I actually ran the Bolder Boulder and lived to tell about it!

2. I relaxed a little and let my kids do things like this:
3. Failed, goal #8 took priority!

4. Left my kids at home (only suffering from minimal anxiety attacks) to travel to Europe with my hubby! We had such an amazing time and will never forget these memories!

5. I lost the last 10 pounds of my Bossy baby weight to turn around and gain 30 and look like this! (photo taken by Brooklyn, sorry!!) Wow! 6. Failed... I know you're laughing Mom! I actually feel terrible about this one because I think it is probably the most important! Tyler on the other hand has not missed a day!

7. Does anyone ever get truly 100% organized? Seriously? I made a huge effort okay! I prefer to take baby steps!

8. I'm pregnant! Can you believe it..I can't! With some apprehension and a lot of bribes from my significant other we announced that we were expecting baby number 3 while on a cruise with my family this summer! Baby# 3 (sex still unknown) is due in 7 weeks!
9. Still in love with my Tyler!! You'll have to find out from him if I did a better job of showing him!10. With ski season just arriving I figure that I get a free pass on number 10! I might get a few strange looks being almost 8 months pregnant on the slopes... We did manage to get in a couple 4 wheeling adventures, some camping in Estes and target practice with Tyler's new gun... (explanation in another post!) All fun outdoor activities as a family!

Goals for 2009 coming soon!

National Western Stock Show

Here are a few pictures from our annual trip to the National Western Stock show here in Denver! The kids (and Dad) start looking forward to the stock show the day after Christmas!! Like JoEllen quoted this year in her Christmas Card, "You can buy a house in the city, but you can't take the heart out of a country boy!" They have such a blast dressing up for the Rodeo, riding tractors, visiting the petting zoo and sampling every treat in sight!! (Boston ate popcorn, pizza, a snow cone, cotton candy, pop, a hot dog and was asking for pancakes on the ride home?? Seriously kid!! )

Ballet & Tap

Today was Brooklyn's first day of Ballet & Tap! She looked adorable all dressed up and ready to show off her new moves.. I think our little clam is beginning to crack her shell!!

Giving Boston a little lesson!

The Dynamic Duo!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

This year we went to my favorite restaurant for dinner, Imperial Gardens then jumped on the Light Rail to 16th street mall to catch the Fireworks! We had a blast and are so excited to see what 2009 brings us! (I am most excited to finally be in the actual birth year of this child! Wahoo!!) Happy New Year!
