Crawlers

Well we officially have two crawlers now! Brooke is all over the place and loving it, she will crawl over to the sliding glass door and watch Kinley play then also loves to run her fingers over the heating vents because it makes a very neat sound. Jordyn decided it was her turn to explore more just yesterday and it now loving that she can find the smallest items on the ground to pick up and put in her mouth. Kinley had some stick from outside that she brought in it was very tiny and I didn't notice it, but Jordyn did! It's is so fun watching these two girls grow so differently and yet be the same age, they are growing like crazy and eating a ton. We go through about 6 to 8 jar foods a day, burning all those extra calories crawling around everywhere. We are still struggling with the whole potty training thing with Kayla. I don't know where I have gone wrong I have successfully potty trained many children but yet I can't train my own....very frustrating! She seems like she is interested but freaks out when we get to the toilet no incentive is working like I hoped. Keep us in your prayers as I am still trying to find a job so we can keep our heads above water, this process has been very hard and many tears have come with the unknown. We know the Lord will provide but just wish his timing was a bit sooner. :)

Light the Lights - Downtown Littleton

Mike and I have made a new tradition to kick off the Christmas season. Downtown Littleton does a annual Christmas candle light tradition of Santa coming down main street and as he comes down the lights on the trees light up. While we wait for him to come down the street children sing Christmas carols to get everyone in the mood to celebrate. Then once Santa arrives at the end of the street he calls our a child's name, that child gets to pull the large candy cane and light up the huge tree full of Christmas lights. It's really fun to sing the Christmas carols and see the excitement in all the children's' faces. Kayla didn't last very long and it was cold she was all bundled up in her stroller. But although the wind picked up and it got pretty chilly was stuck around for the tree and it was beautiful. Now we are ready to put up our own Christmas tree at home. :)

Pumpkin Fest @ Chatfield Botanic Gardens

We wanted to get out and about this weekend so Mom, Mike, Kayla and my nephews Aaron and Jason all went to Pumpkin Fest the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. They had a great kids area where they could enjoy bounce houses, climbing wall, race cars and many more. Then we got to get lost in a corn maze, it was a great day of fun to enjoy with some family.

Kayla's First Hike

It's my birthday and I told Mike that I wanted to get out of the house and we are both off the last week of September. So we decided to head up to the mountains and get away for a while. We went up to Guanella Pass with Kayla, this was her first official trip with mom and dad. It was a wonderful day, we were able to do a hike with Kayla thanks to Morgan and Abby's mom Kayce who let us borrow their kids hiking backpack. Mike had Kayla on his back and just loved it, he was so excited to be hiking with his daughter on his back. We hope we can do many more in the future.

Race for the Cure 2011

Another year to celebrate and remember those who are still fighting cancer and those we have lost to cancer. But also to take joy in those who have survived and get to walk with us today.

Today we walk for all but mostly in memory of my mother in-law Margie Fye, we miss you.
