Broncos Football/Goodbye Party in January!

Pics from January that I never posted about!

We had a little party mid-packing to watch the Broncos play in the play-offs. To bad they lost but it was sure a fun party!

001 008 013 Seth dressed up as a Raven! BRAT!  And the kids were playing so good!

014 019 021 023 029

I should mention that mid party we had people come look at our house! We must have not scared them will all the people and the mess because they ended up being our renters!

A few days before we moved our friends thru a little goodbye party for us. So hard to say goodbye to such awesome friends. Not a day goes by where I dont miss them!

Whoever made the cake spelled “family” wrong. lol 

Wish we could go back to Reno for a visit once a month just so we could see everyone and have a fun dance party!

Albuquerque is keeping entertained!

We have found 3 parks within walking distance of our house! The kids are loving our evening walks to the park when the weather permits. One day I didn’t go and Ronnee came home and told me “The Park said it missed you!”   

We got our dogs back from Colorado! I went to Az for a friends Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party and Tyler took the kids to Colorado to pick of the dogs!   It was my first weekend away with no kids and it was so fun! I did miss the kids but it was so fun to have some me time!   

Ronnee plays outside all day with her dogs! She is so happy to have her best friends back! The other day she came in and told me that Tulo said “I want to come inside.” She even changed the tone of her voice! haha She cracks me up!   When the dogs get in trouble she is so quick to jump on their side and defend them. She is constantly lecturing Tyler  “to not be mean to her dogs! She loves them and they are her favorite!”  She tells me all the time that she loves Tulo and Dinger and not me! BRAT!

She has been throwing some major temper tantrums lately which resulted in her losing her horses and animals!   She finally got them back after 5 days and now whenever Cutler is doing something bad she says to take his toys away! hahaha  Let’s hope she learned something from losing them!

Aside from her being a huge brat she has been saying some really cute and funny things.  Whenever I am doing something for her like helping her in the bathroom or getting her a snack she always tells me “Your a great Mom!”  or “Your the best!”   The other day I was bathing her and I had to leave and save Cutler because he locked himself in the dark bathroom and when I got back to her and told her what I was doing she said “ You are a Super Hero!’’  lol And when I was getting her dressed after the bath she said “ A Super Hero is getting me dressed!”  It are these sweet moments that make it all worth it!   

Cutler is getting quite the foot stomping temper! He throws a huge fit when we dont let him go outside! He could live outside with his sister! But when he gets outside he tends to get into trouble. At that hard age where he doesn’t understand consequences. He finds humor in running in the street so the front yard is off limits! Back yard he comes in covered in mud! Dogs water bowl is to tempting.  He is really good at playing alone and keeping himself busy. The toy room can keep him busy for hours!    He eats all the time. When he finishes a snack he comes grabs my hand and takes me into the kitchen and we play the guessing game of which snack he wants next. He stomps his foot if he doesn’t want it and yells “YA!” if he does!  Funny but will be nice when he can use his words!  He loves apples and cookies! He says cookie so cute! But most of the time chooses  an apple over anything! 

And good news….He is completely done nursing! We survived a year!  And the best part about it is he sleeps thru the night! The first couple nights he would wake up and cry but now he stays asleep from 8:30pm to 7:30-8am!  It is so so so nice! And I just have to put him in his room and he will wine for a minute and then pass out!  Now if only his older sister could follow in his footsteps! 

Tyler and I have our Sprint Triathlon this weekend and I am NERVOUS!  I will be so happy when it is over! But I am loving the fact that it is putting me out of my workout comfort level!  More on that when I finished!

SJ for Easter fun!

The whole family minus the Arkansans went to my parents house for Easter. We had so much fun coloring eggs, having a fun Easter egg hunt, eating, playing football, eating, flying kites and more eating!  It was such a fun filled weekend  we all got spoiled with all the good food and fun company!

As good as it gets!  I am so blessed!

1 yr for Cutler man!

for my memory...
20.4 lbs 25%
31 in long 75%

His growing has slowed. Must be all his crazy moving!

This kid is already going to eat me out of house and home! He eats pretty much anything and will always at least try new things a couple times!  He is still nursing at night but getting close to weaning him. 

He loves to play with his sister or by himself. Not a fan of the dogs because they lick him to much! He prefers to be outside. He is pro at walking and climbing!

He is trying to talk more and more. My favorite is when he says thank you after you hand him something. It is funny to us that he says “Ya” all the time but hasn’t said “no”  Goes to show how spoiled he is! lol   He does here no but not as often as his sister does. I think he is afraid of getting in trouble like Ronnee! Hope he learns for her!

He is so so serious! Not the smiley kid that Ronnee was. Dont get me wrong he does have his happy smiley moments but when he meets someone new he takes a little longer to warm up. And he will not smile on command like Ronnee was trained to! lol Hence why when I tried to take some 1 year photos of him I only got like 2 smiling ones. He smiles only when he wants to and he knew I really wanted him to so he was having none of it!

And my camera is acting up and I have yet to take it so my picture taking has slowed and my skills are not up to what they were!   Note to self: TAKE YOUR CAMERA IN TO GET FIXED!

On his birthday we had some friends driving thru and stay with us so they helped him celebrate! I got him his own little cake and he was in heaven!
