Christmas Picture

Mom did a little photo shoot with us today. We had fun making silly faces. This one is NOT our Christmas picture, but mom sure thought we looked cute. We did try to sit still I promise!

Frosty the Snowman

Our first snowman of the year. He is tiny, but with all the new snow we are going to make him a new friend soon!! Can't wait to go skiing, Drew is going to try it out this year. Yipppeee!!

Birthday Boy!

Some fun shots from my party, sorry it took my mom so long to post them. By the way, my favorite gift was this Bozo the clown punching bag. Super cool!!

Happy Birthday to Drew! 11.11.04

Hey my little snugglebug. This is your momma and I am so glad you had a fun birthday! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little boy in my life, thank you for making daddy and I so happy. Pictures to come of the big event! Love, mom

p.s. Happy Birthday to Aunt Karen and cousins Max and Olivia too!

Happy Halloween!!

First came the annual Lyons Halloween parade which was super cold but super fun. Then came another parade at my school. We got to go to all the classes and show off our costumes. The last picture is of me and my bestest friend Caroline. She is in my class at school and goes to my church with me too. Drew and I had a great Halloween this year. Lots of candy and a huge tummy ache to boot! (remember, if you click on the photo it makes it larger)

Pumpkin Patch - Round 2

All I have to say is I love the pumpkin patch. Did I mention that I love the pumpkin patch?? The big slide, the train, the carousel, and TONS of pumpkins. Ahhhhh, can't wait for next year!

Uncle Brett and Aunt Carrie

Yeah, another visit with my aunt and uncle all the way from Oregon. And, some good times with some more family in town for my cousin Erica's wedding in Denver. (Daddy's cousin) It was fun to dress up and dance! Drew enjoyed watching the instruments very closely.

A day on Pearl Street.

Boulder is fun. We like to go there and have a nice lunch and then play on these super cool animals they have for kids. Sometimes there is even a balloon man who makes fun animals for Drew and I to take home. It was a beautiful sunny day, and my new glow-in-the-dark CareBear enjoyed herself immensely!

A little carnival fun.

My school puts on this awesome carnival every year. Since I am an official Hygiene Hawk now I got to attend this year. Lots of games, I won some prizes on the prize walk, Drew won a cake on the cake walk . . . and the best part was the face painting. Check us out!

Pumpkin Patch - Round 1

My favorite place to visit is the pumpkin patch. It is right by our house so all year long we pass by it and think about fall coming and our chance to enjoy the pumpkin patch again. They dragged out the big jack o' lantern beginning of September, the carousel got put up end of September . . . the anticipation was mounting! So who better to enjoy our first trip of they year with but our cousins Britton, Abby and Maycee. It was a blast!

Fall is here!!

We went on a nature walk yesterday and mommy took lots of pictures of all the pretty leaves. My favorite is the one that is turning bright red. The picture with the road in it runs right behind our house so we get to drive past all those pretty leaves every day. Fall is so fun, I can't wait to visit the pumpkin patch soon, you know what that means??? More pictures to come!!

A boy and his tricycle.

Dear Nana,

I would like to thank you for my tricycle you bought for me in Texas. I ride it every day. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I want to ride it but my mommy says we have to eat breakfast first. I love you. I love my tricycle.

Love, Drew

Picnic at the Park . . .

The best part of kindergarten so far is meeting all new friends. Here is a bunch of us eating lunch at the "lake park" in our neighborhood. I am making my mom dizzy with all my socializing. I have playdates almost every day with my gal pals. Ahhhhhhh . . I love being 5 1/2!

Picture Day at school . . .

I would like to give a big shout out to my Aunt Marjie for sending me this dress for my birthday. I felt very beautiful on picture day wearing it. And another shout out to Nana for helping my mommy pick out these hair bows at Sam Moon when we visited TX this summer. My mom keeps talking about that place . . . . guess we will have to go there again next visit!

Rope World!

There is this really cool teacher at a school here that puts on these little obstacle courses and rope worlds for little kids. Holy cow was this place cool! Check out the pics . . . .

Sleepover at Britton and Abby's

Daddy went on a trip with Uncle Blake so we packed up and headed up to Johnstown to spend the night with Aunt Stina and our favorite cousins. First we had yummy pizza, then we went to a super cool story time at the book store, then we had icecream! I thought the treats would never end. Mommy was having so much fun she forgot to take any pictures, but she did get a shot of Drew and Britton's new haircuts. Britton got the "cool dude" treatment with a tattoo and hair color along with his haircut. Ahhhhh, that was the best sleepover ever!!

Kindergarten and Preschool . . . first day!

I started kindergarten this year and Drew started preschool. Mommy took our pictures with our new backpacks on all ready to go. My teacher is awesome, and I just love my new school. Drew likes his too (it is the one I went to as well) and thinks he is a "big boy" just like his sister. In fact his birthday is coming up in November and he thinks he is turning 5 and gets to ride the bus like me. Silly boy!!

Aunt Carrie!!!

Just a quick little pic of Aunt Carrie when she was in town for a wedding. It was great to see her and we can't wait for her and Uncle Brett to come see us again soon!

Camping Trip

Mom forgot to put these pics in too. We went camping with some friends from Daddy's work up to Estes Park. We went to town for pizza and played on this cool playground right by the river. It was fun spending time with Olivia and Will and we got to eat lots of smores!!!

Goggles are so COOL!

Mom forgot to put this picture in of Drew and I trying out our new goggles. We wore them around the house for days! Drew even wore his when they got all foggy like this . . . I think he thought it added to his Batman powers. Hee hee hee.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Wow, what a fun day did we plan for Daddy today. First we went to the waterpark (no pictures b/c we were all too wet and slippery.) Then, we had a nice long nap and went out to dinner to celebrate! We were up in Lyons and there is this really cool park. So mom whipped out the camera and took some glamour shots of us. Please note that I was all dressed up for both my Daddy and my openhouse at school. I would personally like to take this moment to thank God for such a loving, fun, squeezable, huggable Daddy. Drew and I love him all the way to the moon and back!!
