Playing in Brooklyn!

While in Colorado Brooklyn and Ronnee had so much fun together. Brooklyn had a friend over one night and they had a fun time pushing R around in the doll stroller. Brooklyn is also quite the entertainer… a few times she put on shows for us. She does game shows and dancing. She is quite the dancer.  One of the days we went and saw Santa. And as you can see in the pictures R was not really a fan. Santa told me I needed to be in the pictures too and obviously that didnt help! One for the memory books for sure! We also got to go to the park to play. Crazy weather in Colorado for sure!Ronnee had so much fun being spoiled and playing with her cousin! It was hard to for her to come home and only have her mom as entertainment!

The dogs also had a fun time laying in the sun and playing with Scooby and going for walks!

 

Once again I am kicking myself for getting this far behind!

Christmas Letter 2010

Christmas 2010
Well I sure hope everyone has had a great year because we sure have! It has been filled with lot of trips to see family and friends and making our house a home. At the end of February we purchased a home! It has been a lot of work but we are loving it. We have grass in our backyard, color on our walls, and we are still working on the decorating but it is coming together. We love our neighborhood and have made a lot of fun friends; this has been our big adventure this year. Normally we have moved or had a baby so to say the least this year has been pretty quiet and I think we needed it!
Tyler is doing really good; he is keeping busy with work and still loves his job. We just went to a work Christmas party with his team and I can see why he loves getting together with them. They are like a little family which I am sure makes work easier for them all. He is really good at what he does and I am so proud of all his accomplishments. When he is not working he is here at home taking care of his 2 little friends. We now have 2 dogs. A Rottweiler named Tulo that is 6 months old and a little fluffly lab named Dinger that is 10 weeks. They are always into something but Little Ronnee loves them to pieces except for when her dad locks her inside so that he can clean up their messes!
I am keeping busy taking care of the little one and the house. I am loving the exercise that I get from walking the dogs while pushing the baby. Much easier said than done that is for sure, but we are all getting better at it. I have made a lot of friends here and they are my saving grace most days. When I painted the house a couple of them came over and helped me, which means we had 3 little ones and we still managed to get it done with no major problems. I am grateful for all of them! Ronnee is pretty much my life and it is a pretty sweet life for sure!
Ronnee (15months) is a crazy little monster! She eats as much if not more then I do and is still a tiny little peanut. She finally reached 17lbs!!! She is constantly on the go, at 6 months she started crawling and has not stopped moving since then. She started walking at around 14 months and is now running. She is very bossy and talks all the time. I am sure we are in for a treat when she actually starts putting words together. For now it is Lulu (tulo) Mamamamama just like that, and Daddy in the sweetest voice. Mamamama doesn't mean just me either it also means drink, food, or whatever she is wanting! I can't wait for her to just call me mom in a sweet voice! She makes us laugh all the time. She keeps me on my toes and gets cuter and more fun everyday. I am not sure what we would do with out her this little ball of fire!
We hope that this next year is filled with as much fun and adventure, which I am sure it will because I am married to Tyler and have his clone for a kid!

Love you all and wish you the best Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Baby girl is 15 months!

Can you believe it….. It is crazy to me! I felt like a I better post her stats. I measured her before we left to AZ for Thanksgiving and she was 29 in and now she is 29 1/2in. Not a lot but when you are that little it means a lot! lol She seemed like she was growing so I am glad I measured her. I will weigh her on Thursday at Mom’s group because I weighed her on the scale here at home and it said she weighed 16.4 which would mean she has lost weight and I hoping that is not true! She is starting to be really bossy and that is not fun but I am glad she is starting to at least communicate. I cant wait for her to put more words together so she can really tell me what she wants instead of just going to the fridge. The other night she woke up at 4:30am and went to the fridge. Tyler gave her 1 1/2 things of yogurt. This little girl is a PIG! She eats more then I do some days but I am not sure where she puts it. 8 small pancakes for breakfast the other day and then some frosted mini wheat! Crazy girl! Love that little screamer!

So I weighed Ronnee today and she weighs 17.2! So that is up 11 oz since her first birthday and she has grown an inch a half since then also! So she is growing slowly but surely!

Parties

December is full of parties!! We went to Tyler’s company Christmas party on the 4th in Sacramento. It was so much fun. It was a Chandra’s beautiful home and Ronnee had a blast! She danced the night away and played with the puppies. Anytime she heard music she would jump out of my arms and run to the room and dance! It was so funny to watch! This little girl can find a beat! She stayed up until 1:30am dancing. It was crazy how happy she was. We never heard a peep. Chandra and her husband dont have any children and the kept telling me how Ronnee makes them want to have a baby. She put on a good show! She is a party animal!  And when she wasn’t dancing she was playing with the other kids or the puppies. She loves dogs! Here are some pics from all the fun!

We stayed the night and then woke up and hurried home so we could make it to Vincent’s 2nd birthday. No pictures from that but it is so fun for R to have neighbor friends!

Then the next weekend we had Tristen’s 1st birthday party! He is the last of our little mom’s group to turn 1! It was a beautiful 60 degree day! We played outside and soaked it all in!  Then after the party we stayed and had a little Christmas party with Bryan and Jen and some other friends!

And tomorrow we are going over to Jen’s to have a cookie making party!!!! This is the best part about December!!!

Christmas Tree Hunting

We attempted to get a tree twice…. the first time we went to dog valley and there was so much snow that we kept that getting stuck. It was stressing me and the puppies out. The dogs were puking and I was hyperventilating and Tyler thought it was so funny. But thank heavens Tyler decided it was to snowing so we got to return home in hopes to try again another day. No pictures from that adventure. That was the last thing on my mind.

We tried again a couple days later but we went to a different place where the roads were maintained and we left the puppies at home. They don’t do so well in the car and it would have sucked to have to carry the baby and the puppies through the deep snow.  We found a spot parked the car and started hiking in the snow. Ronnee fell asleep on my shoulder so she was dead weight and the snow was like thigh deep. It sucked to walk and then fall in and try and get out with no hands! Plus we were not dressed for rolling in the snow! At one point R and I sat down in some packed snow and let Tyler go hike around. He was gone for a while but came back and decided there was no way even if he found a tree that we could climb out with it! So we decided a Home Depot tree would work for us this year. We got the adventure and the ease of getting a tree and that worked for us this year, well at least for the little one and I. Tyler was a little upset he didnt get to cut it down! lol

 

Oh what fun it is to be married to Tyler! Never a dull moment!
