My little soccer player

Erin had her first official soccer practice today!  She did awesome and had a blast. Scotty enjoyed running around the gym like a mad man. He may have gotten more exercise than most of the kids on the team. 

Nana Visits!

Nana came to visit a couple weeks ago!  Scotty learned how to say her name just before she arrived....they were best buds. Somehow we convinced Nana to take a mountain trip to Salida. Erin took her first ski lesson at Monarch while Nana and Scotty cruised the town. We miss you, Nana and Pops!

Scotty's first hair cut

What a handsome little man. Bob said he did great!

Scotty's Video - 1.5ish Years Gone By!

My little guy's life in a nutshell so far....

I did one of these for Erin when she was about the same age.  This video was going to be a Christmas present for Bob, but I didn't finish it by then.  I was going to hold off until Valentine's Day, but just couldn't wait any longer!  So, here it is.  My oh my how quickly time goes by.  Please slow down, Scotty!  You are growing up way too fast!!  We love you.

What a difference...

What a difference a day makes!  Sunny and 60 degrees yesterday playing at the park. Snowy and sledding at the park today. I love Colorado!

Christmas 2013

What a whirlwind!  We spent Christmas in Castle Rock with everyone but Nate.  Lots of kids running around and great memories made.  An added bonus - there was no stomach bug scare this year :)  It wasn't a white Christmas like last year, but the nice weather allowed us to have our "Sometimes Annual Mini Golf Tournament".  I'm not sure who actually won, but we all had a blast!  Hopefully we can all get together again soon.....Erin and Scotty miss all of their cousins!!

Thank you for the lovely wrapping job, Erin.

Yippee!  Presents!

Daddy, can I have more money for my piggy bank?

Thanksgiving 2013

I forgot to post these pictures from thanksgiving. Grandpa took Erin on a hike while the turkey was cooking and Scotty napped through dinner. All and all, a great day with Busia and Grandpa!
