Snow Day

Lizzy loves to play outside! she doesn't care how cold it is she wants to stomp around outside, must take after her dad!:)





Ok, so she has newspaper bags around her legs as snowpants! She has since gotten the proper attire to play in the snow :)

Halloween

My sister and her husband blessed their little girl, Lydia Jo, this weekend so Elizabeth and I went with my family to Salt Lake for the weekend. It turned into quite the trip with the snow storm late last week, we headed out Friday morning to find the worst road conditions any of us had driven on in quite sometime between Fort Collins and Laramie. With lots of Prayers and Patience we made it to Laramie and from there on the conditions improved, and we made it to Salt Lake safe and sound!
Lucky for us we got to spend Halloween with our little cousins too! Elizabeth didn't quite understand what was going on, she was more interested in watching everyone running up and down the street looking so strange. With Kaylie and James leading the way she may have caught on just a little bit. I sure did have a good time getting her all dressed up and the candy is a bonus too! :)









I can't wait for next year when we can all enjoy it a litte more!!

Take me out to the Ball Game

The Rockies have been on fire for about the last month so we decided we better get in on the action before it becomes impossible to try and get tickets. Mike, Cameron, Elizabeth, and I went to the game on Saturday. We had a blast, Elizabeth loves to be outside so she was in her element, except when the crowd would erupt. Although after she figured out she was safe with me, she would join in clapping.

Nine innings was a bit much for her to sit so we decided to take our first break between the third and fourth innings and go meet Dinger, the mascot!



I was a little bit worried at how she would react, but while we were in line she caught a glimpse and was so excited. She has been loving Barney lately, I guess she sees some resemblance:) she was even lucky enough to get Dinger's autograph!

We did manage to even catch some of the game between walking and looking at the fountains that were able to go off because of a few home runs, water is another favorite of Elizabeths, she thought they were pretty cool.

So, between meeting Dinger and the Rockies getting the win and and the lead in the wild card chase, I'd say we had a great evening. Go Rockies!!

Lizzy is 1

Our baby girl turned one year old today! I thought I would be able to post but fighting tears is just too hard . . . So enjoy the pictures.

I Can See Clearly Now The Rain is Gone!

We had a huge thunderstorm today, with lots of rain and small hail . . . even a tornado warning, but no action here thank goodness! Elizabeth didn't seem to notice the dark gray skies!
She found my sunglasses in the car after church and was trying to put them on, once we helped her get them on she thought is was pretty silly!

Just one of Those Days

I knew I was in for a rough day when Elizabeth woke up at 2am and couldn't breathe! She was finally able to go back to sleep at 4:30am and actually slept until 8:30. Not bad right?! She woke up not a happy camper, Elizabeth isn't a fussy baby so when she is I know something is wrong, she has had a constant runny nose since about 10pm last night. I didn't think much of it because I was pretty sure she is getting her bottom front teeth. However when it's keeping her awake and nothing makes her happy I began to doubt myself, then I spent the majority of the day at home with the tv on and watched way too much news on the SwineFlu freaking myself out, I know she doesn't have that! But it's so hard not knowing exactly what is bothering her and how to help!
Mike was supposed to go to the Nuggets game tonight but he being the wonderful husband that he is didn't want to leave me under these circumstances. Hopefully they win tonight and maybe he'll have the chance in the second round!

Hopefully tomorrow will be better :0)

Oh my Goodness! Oh my Goodness!

Well, last night is a night that I hope to soon forget! Elizabeth woke up at 2:00am and nursed like usual, then when we tried to put her back in bed she would just kick her legs and flop around, I got her back up and changed her diaper only to have her then be wide awake. We let her play for a while and then tried to nurse again, she didn't want any part of that, so we decided to take her for a drive, two hours later she went to sleep at 4am. It seems like she is going backwards she used to be such good sleeper and for the last month or so she has been waking up every three hours but usually will just nurse and go back to sleep. Not last night :0! When we took her for the drive I heard this song that put it all in perspective even at the wee hours of the morning! It made me stop and remember how precious this time is that she is little and before I know it she is going to sleep through the night among many other things! Enjoy the song :)
