Our Dancin' Queen

Long over due post

The past 2 months have been a blur! Reese had a fun filled birthday week when Stephanie came in town. She had so much fun at Chuck E Cheese, the Butterfly Pavilion, Jump Street, and the Wildlife Experience.

Daddy and Reese using her new Tag Jr - she can touch the book with the "worm" and it reads the book to her.


Happy 3rd Birthday Reese!


Top present - cardboard store that she has been decorating since her party. Pizza party anyone?


Fishies.


Reese loved Steph's purple bubbles.


Easter egg hunt at Aunt Casey's. Could Samson be hiding some in here?


Found one!

Mother's Day


I found my childhood toy box and wanted to hand it down to Reese. After sanding and repainting it, Reese had her way with the back of it. It turned out beautiful!


Summer, here we come!

Bora Bora/Tahiti

We are so excited to share our pictures from the Great West Sales Conference in Bora Bora! After much hard work and traveling, Ed qualified after having his best year yet. We joked that if the place had crashed, this must be heaven. After 24 hours to get there, we were ready to relax! Although Ed had to work some, we had plenty of time to explore and be pampered. It was the most beautiful place on earth. We stayed in little huts off the main island.


A lonely island off the beach by the resort.


Posing before dinner one night.


The jet ski tour around the islands was so much fun. Not other soul around.


We snorkeled in the lagoon with the resort's marine biologist and saw amazing sea life.


We stayed in Tahiti for one night before leaving French Polynesia. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, but we enjoyed checking out the culture. Here's the view from our lunch spot.


Yes, the food was amazing!


After being gone for a week and spending 2 days either in an airplane or an airport, we felt like we needed a vacation from our vacation! Thanks to our family for letting us get away.

Winter 2011

Our beautiful backyard (and the park behind us) after a snowfall.


Reese attended a birthday party at the Denver University gym. She loved the trampoline...


...but was not so sure about hang from the bars.

Stock Show/Museum

Winter has finally arrived here in Denver, so we have been trying to get Reese out of the house as much as possible. We all have a little cabin fever. On Saturday, we took Reese to the Nature and Science Museum. This is the view from a balcony seating area of this beautiful city that we have fallen in love with!


Just lounging around, having a snack.


Casey and I (Heather) took Reese to the National Western Stock Show. *cough*rip off *cough* All I have to say that it was pretty pricey entertainent for a 2 1/2 year old for 2 hours. As you can image, Reese loved seeing all the animals and playing on the indoor playground (that were samples from a swing company that were selling them. And we had to PAY to play on it. I'm just sayin'...)



Let the poor thing drink, Reese!


Her first pony ride, on Twinkie.


Reese loves her goats! Yes, I put a bucket of hand sanitizer on her afterwards.

Playing in the snow

Here's a great video from our most recent snow storm.
