Newest Daisy pictures.




Daisy continues to be a wonderful addition. She looked so pretty and cute after her bath, and then snoozing in the sunshine, I had to share!

Valentine's Day at Charlie's Pre-school

Charlie had another little show at school for Valentine's Day and had a much better time than he did at Christmas. He loved singing all his songs and even blew us kisses and gave us thumbs-up at the end!! The little guy next to him wasn't so sure about it though. Bonus- a good picture of mommy and Henry!!



Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum had a free day, so we decided to check it out with the boys. We were surprised at how much fun was available for kids. The boys really enjoyed the cowboy art and play area the best, but Charlie also liked the creative art area where he got to practice his cutting skills. He was so funny sticking out his tongue while he concentrated on his artwork!























This was a graffiti art exhibit. You could write a word on a transparency, trace it on paper taped to the wall and cut it out and put it up on the walls. Some words had been made into pillows that the kids could jump around and play in.

Mozart??


Henry LOVES his music. I signed him up for another semester of music class on Tuesday mornings while Charlie is at school (Charlie gets music class on Tuesdays at school too). It gives us special mommy-and-Henry time and we both really enjoy it. I love to hear him sing and he likes to play his keyboard and sing his songs. He makes a very sweet sound.


Farm




One of Charlie's friends had his birthday party at a farm. He loved every second of it, but was a little unsure about the chicken coop and kept his arm crossed the entire time he was in there. Smart boy!

Charlie's Big #3!

Charlie's birthday party was at a place called Bounce Town. It's basically a warehouse space filled with giant inflatable bouncy house castles. We've had a few play dates there and Charlie was very excited when I told him he could have his birthday party there.




All the kids had a BLAST!































My friend, Courtney, is due with her second baby any day. She decided to bounce a little and try to speed the process along. No word yet if it worked. ☺



























































































I forgot to take a picture of the cupcakes, but they were strawberry with chocolate icing and they had sprinkles. I just had some little finger foods for snack. Charlie got some great presents from his friends. And everyone was tuckered out when we got home!












This was sort of a bittersweet birthday for me. I feel like we've all reached such a huge milestone in our family and my boys are not babies anymore. Henry is the age Charlie was when Henry was born. I can't believe it's been 18 months since Henry was born and that Charlie is now 3! They are both so amazing and have such beautiful little souls. I'm the luckiest mom in the world and so thankful that i have the opportunity to bear witness to the miracle of their existence everyday. We are so so blessed!

Charlie's Birthday 1/5/10




Nee-Nee sent a root viewing vegetable garden for Charlie's birthday. The dirt had to soak in a bucket of water and be stirred. Surprisingly the mess was limited to the counter top! I forgot to take a picture of it all put together, but I'll get some when it starts to grow.



On Charlie's birthday we went to dinner (Chick-Fil-A at Charlie's request!) and when we came home his birthday presents were set up for him. He loved all his toys and books and felt very loved. Thank you to everyone!
