 |
| Week 3 was pretty great! Ryland finally got his eyeglasses. I am hoping that they stay on him and actually help. He prefers to not have them on so that could be a challenge. We celebrated Taylor's birthday on the 19th so I included her invitation in this week's spread. |
 |
| My parents came in town for Taylor's birthday and that made it special. And I included a few photos from Taylor's birthday celebration at Chuck E. Cheese...I couldn't talk her out of that location :) |
 |
| Week 4 included Taylor's actual birthday on Tuesday. Since the kids had Monday off of school, we took my parents to the Downtown Aquarium. We ate lunch there while the mermaids swam in the aquarium...it was great. Sadly, on Tuesday Taylor came home with a fever. She ended up having the flu for the rest of the week. |
 |
| Taylor's fever broke on Friday so she was able to compete in her first dance competition for Starstruck. However, Hank had to stay home with the boys who were down with the flu. The kids have missed a few days of school this week. I can't wait to they are healthy again...it's not fun being sick. |
 |
| We welcomed in the New Year with Grandpa Don and Grandma Carol. Hank and Don put up the trampoline... |
 |
| went to see the movie "Walking with Dinosaurs" with us as well as played rounds of Mexican train. |
 |
| Week 2 the kids headed back to school after a two-week break. Taylor and I put away all of the Christmas decorations and I redecorated my mantle for the New Year. We got back into the swing of things, including music lessons, dance and homework. |
 |
| The kids wore Broncos clothing to school before a big game and had their bi-annual dentist appointment this week. And best of all, we drove up to Ft. Collins to see one of my best friends from high school and her adorable family. We just wish we lived closer to them! |
 |
| For the month of December I am taking on a photo a day approach. So during this week, Oliver the Elf was up to his normal antics, we got some snow, and our house was fully decorated. |
 |
| We watched the Sound of Music live, saw the movie Frozen, met Santa, and Taylor had her Christmas program cast party. |
 |
| Week 50 Taylor lost another tooth, still lots of snow, and I worked in our corporate office for a couple of days. |
 |
| Over the weekend we took the kids to Parker for a horse drawn carriage ride and then to the Denver Zoo. Fun times! We love exploring our new community. |
 |
| Week 47 was a cold one as it snowed here. The kids absolutely love it. Hank spent some one-on-one time with Landon and took him bowling. |
 |
| I included several photos of the snow. Taylor loves to just sit and look out her window that overlooks the front yard. |
 |
| Week 48 was a great one... Thanksgiving at Tim and Vickey's house and Oliver our elf came back to live with us for a month... |
 |
| Hank took the boys to a car show with some of the guys from our family while Taylor and I enjoyed a girls day out. We also took the kids ice skating for the first time. They really enjoyed that and want to go back again...soon! |
