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.

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

Goodbye 2010!

2010 was a busy and fun year for us. The week before Christmas, we went to Dallas to visit friends and family. Reese was a champ, and Ed even upgraded me to first class by myself for both flights! Hoot!

Dinner at the Dream Cafe downtown. They had a small playground next to their patio. It was perfect on a beautiful night.

First poop in the potty (with treat in hand).


We spent an afternoon in McKinney with Heather's childhood friend, Penney. Her daughter Sofia is only 10 months older, so the girls had a blast! As you can imagine, once they got going it was quite loud.


Reese holding her new adopted brother. Just kidding. Liam is Jessica's 3 month old son, who is just adorable. I had to explain to Reese why it was not OK to give him a bear hug around the neck.


She loved her dancing Elmo!


Heather and her sister, Stephanie. Why is my neck working so hard to smile?


Grandma and Tim


Fun with Casey and John

Butterfly towel, or super girl?

Here's to another great year. Bring it on 2011!

Happy holidays!!

We are busy with Christmas parties and shopping. In a week, we will be in Dallas with family and friends - can't wait!! Here are some recent pics of the family.

We had another fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at Kathy's house. Always lots of food, family, friends and laughs.

Reese was a little overwhelmed by it all... However a teddy bear and bottle opener proved to be a nice distraction.
