Denver Zoo

During spring break I took the kids to the Zoo. I was a little nervous doing it with Aiden because was only a month old and nursing was still a 45 minute ordeal but we were going crazy in the house. The trip actually did turn out easier then I thought and when it came time for me to feed the baby I came up with what I thought turned out to be a risky but brilliant idea (at least for my situation). I decided to let the girls take pictures with my camera (that was the risky part and Jon will probably be pretty upset with me when he reads this) but the brilliant part was that it kept the girls busy for 45minutes without them whinning about going to the next animal. We stopped at the penguins which are my childrens absolute favorite right now (because of the penguins of Madagascar) and this is what we got:





I was shocked when I saw these pictures (There were alot more then this but I didn't think anyone would want to look at picture after picture of penguins).  I think Lizzie has quite the eye when it comes to picture taking but I am her mom and quite bias.  

Aiden

Here is a slide show of baby Aiden for all of those who have yet to see the little guy. I can't believe it took me so long to get this on here but I can truthfully say I have not had a second to get this done (I am lucky if I get dressed for the day).





Fun Halloween photos from this year (and yes I am a little bit slow publishing these). Brie was Rapunzel without the long hair (I think that would make her just another princess but whatever) and Lizzie was Wonder Woman (she wanted to be a super hero and we thought it would be a great time to introduce her to a classic, she loved!! it). We had to throw in one more of our beautiful cousin Hunter (somehow we had to put Bries wig to use and He volunteered).

Last weekend snow

2 days after Thanksgiving we were blessed with a weekend of snow. I say blessed because 1)the plants really needed it and 2)we could really enjoy it not having any place to be or schedule to keep. I think I will enjoy those days of snow when we can be carefree unlike today where we had to go to school and be there at 8am when it was snowing. Lucky at 8am it wasn't snowing too much and just snowed lightly for the whole day. Right before I went to pick up the kids the sun came out and the snow was extremely light. Shortly after though it picked up to the heaviest that it has been all day. I am grateful that I didn't have to deal with the worst of it today. I feel that I am gradually being introduced to this foreign concept. I don't think I am a snow person but I am sure I will get used to it. Lizzie and Brie on the other hand love it and get extremely excited when it snows (and even the possibility of snow). Here are a few pictures of our snow days after Thanksgiving.






This Picture was taken at 10 o'clock at night. It was so light outside it could have been day.






Here are the girls playing in the backyard.

baby oh baby

Found a pretty funny website that I saw on another friends blog. The site is called makemebabies and it is hilarious. You can pretty much make a baby with anyone (celeb or someone you know) but I thought Jon would be a good start since we have already made a few of our own. I wanted to know what a computer would think that our next child would look like. It was pretty fun to see but I have to say way off. First of all this baby is pretty cute and as some of you know that our babies right off are really not that cute (they get cuter later). Second where did that red hair come from. So far with us it is no hair or a ton of dark dark hair. The red would be fun though. When I have the chance I will post the girls baby pictures so you all can compare. Now I think that I am going to make a baby with my long lost love Ewan Mcgreggor but I don't think that this baby will be as cute as my two beautiful girls I have now (they get their good looks from their dad).

Its been a while

As you can see I am not really good at blogging (All though I want to get better) but I want to take a moment to define here and now the purpose of my blog. I hope that in this blog I can write about things in that happened in the past, what's happening now and what our goals are (mine as an individual and also our goals as a family) for the future. This blog is mostly for my record; it is my way for me to journal but I do invite all who want to read it. I hope that I can give myself the time it deserves to record all the important and unimportant things I want to remember. To start it off I want to share something that is very sentimental to me. That is the pictures of 3 generations of cowgirls. Why is this so special some may ask? Although it only has a few individuals included to me it represents so much more. This represents the growth of our family. Until the recent passing of my great grandmother Tiedge there were 5 generations alive at one point. I find that just fascinating and exciting that first 5 generations were alive at one time and second we all came from this one person and have continued from that point. I also love these pictures because I have something that cannot be recreated but actually captured the first two times by chance and then made into a tradition which I hope one of my children continue. To me these pictures are a legacy that my family holds. They are a memento and a reminder for future generations of our great family. So I hope all enjoys them in a different light and can see them as not just pictures but the way that I do.
