FINALLY

So, I have finally decided to update my blog tonight.  Brandon left for Utah and will be there until Monday night.  So needless to say, that should give some extra time to do whatever I want when the kids are sleeping.  This past month has been adventurous, eh hem, for me to say the least.  Drake is officially potty trained as of the day after Christmas, and we also bought him a twin bed, so he is out of his crib!!  It's been a little bit of an adjustment, but he is actually doing great in it. He loves his big boy bed and I can't believe he is old enough to be in one.  Ava is 6 months and still a little peanut.  She was only 12.5 lbs at her check up today.  I swear Drake was like 18.  She is still the sweetest little thing ever.  I have tons of pictures to put up, but I am trying to figure out how to uplaod them on a mac.  So, if anyone knows how, let me know.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!! May we all remember the true spirit of Christmas.

Ashley's Winter Wedding

Ahhh, and the wedding is over!! Fun and beautiful, but it's always nice to be home. So we put together a beautiful snowflake filled winter wedding and everything turned out so nice. Ashley looked gorgeous, as always. And Randi's cake turned out to be the highlight of the night (besides the bride of course). So, just to fill you in on a piece of our little adventure. We left wednesday morning and made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming and as soon as we got there they closed I-80 on us. Yep, we had to turn around and come on back home!! Yikes, atleast we didn't get caught in the blizzard. Blessing in disguise. So the girls and I and our children of course, flew over that night, and the boys drove over on thursday. The next few days entailed rushing around and finishing all the little odds and ends. Blah blah blah, wedding, etc. and then we drove home Sunday night, and had the last reception here in Denver tonight. So all went well. Sorry to Chelsea and Andrea...I wanted to see you both, but I could barely breathe with all that was going on. So, until next time :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

So it has officially snowed here in Denver and is sticking and I am officially sick of getting on my blog and looking at the same dang post the past few weeks. So, here ya go. Good thing we get to drive thru the mountains to Salt Lake City on Wednesday after all these blizzards. Brandon's sister Ashley is getting married next Saturday and so we are going to trek thru the snow this week. Not looking forward to an 8 hr. drive, let alone with two kids, and snow! So I am guessing it's going to be more like a 10-12 hr. drive considering both!! Yay! Took a few pics of the kiddos. Hope everone is having a wonderful December. I'm pretty much shacked up and drinking hot chocolate daily for now, and trying to find ways to entertain Drake, since it's soooo cold outside. I am a wuss.

BUNDLED BLOG

So I've had a few things I've been meaning to blog about, but I just haven't had the time to.
SO, I just bundled them all together in this one blog.
1- I forgot to post a pic of Drake in his Batman Halloween costume. It was basically run to target and grab whatever was left, but it turned out so so cute and he loved it.
2- I just got back from one of my best friends weddings this past weekend in SLC, and I just have to say congrats to her you looked gorgeous and I'm so proud of her and I love her and I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful, genuine, friend!! YOU too Andrea!! It was just like old times spending the weekend with you!!
3- We took Drake to a place called Anderson Farms. Pretty sure it's like all the pumpkin places I've seen others blog about, but they are so fun!
4- I snuck in another little pic of Ava in there. She is my beautiful little girl and seriously she is an Angel baby. She is so good and she's always smiling and cooing. I just love being a mom. That pretty much sums it up.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

My sister n law Randi threw a big Halloween Party and these are the results. Yes, it was a costume party and it was so so fun. As you can see, Brandon and I went as a couples figure skating pair. He was basically Jimmy Macenroe from Blades of Glory. It was hilarious. Anyways we had a blast and it turned out awesome. Not that I would expect anything less from Randi, she is another Martha Stewart!

Tell Me this isn't the Cutest Little Face!!!

Ava is 3 months now! This was Drake's first little halloween costume when he was 3 weeks old. It drowned him then, but she's just the right age for it. She is such a sweet little girl and look at that beautiful little face.

MAGDALENA BAY

Hey everyone check out Magdalena Bay. We are finally ready to start selling the first lots. If you know anyone who is interested they can contact Ed or Brandon for more information. Their phone numbers are on the Mag Bay blog. I will be posting more information soon! Thanks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

So we had such a fun party for Drake. I made dinner for everybody and then the kids tattooed pumpkins, hit a pinata, and had a donut race. I also made him a lego cake, which actually turned out pretty cute. I can't believe he is 2 years old. Anyways sorry it took so long to post pics, but here they are finally. Love you Draker!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY

Drake turned 2 yesterday!! I can't believe it. He's such a big boy now. Talking so well. It's so fun to be able to communicate to him with words. We had such a fun party last night. I will post some cute pics when I get a chance!! I love him so much and it amazes me everyday the joy he brings to me and anyone who is around him.

OOPS!

So I took Drake to the Denver zoo a couple of weeks ago and as I was taking a picture of the buffalos, one of them decided he wanted to do a little "circus act!" Woops.

CAN I SAY...SEXY!!

So my little sister and her hubby came to visit this weekend. Man, it sucks being scattered. She is so much fun, I wish I could be with her everyday. I think back about before we were all married and still living at home, and I totally took my sisters for granted. I miss them so much. Anyway, you all know how I feel...but this girl makes me genuinely laugh my heart out!! Love you Erin. Thanks for coming to visit, wish it was longer.

COUNTIN' DOWN

So I've literally been counting down the days until the new season of "The Office." Robyn you know what I'm talking about. I'll be calling you. Thursday 8:00 PM, only 3 days!!! My friend Ashley and I, oh, and my husband are actually throwing an "Office" BBQ party with little gift bags and everything. I don't watch much TV, except this and all of Drake's shows he loves, but hey I can sing every theme song with him and he thinks I'm pretty freaking funny! So I think that's all that matters. I have a secret crush on Jim, okay so it's not so secret...I can't even make it through an episode without telling my husband how I love Jim Halpert. I even have notepads with pictures of Jim on them. So GO Jim and Pam, since I can't be with him considering he is a fictional character, then I hope you get to be! "There's a new sheriff in town, and his name's me." Just a little Dwight moment for those of you who know how I'm feeling right now.

IT'S A GIRL!!

Congratulations Robyn and Konan. I'm so excited for you guys and that our little girls will only be months apart!! Love you guys.
