My baby....

......is growing up way, way, WAY too fast!

She lost her very first tooth on Friday at school!

She lost her second tooth on Saturday morning as we were walking out the door!

The girl has gotten some serious loot for the teeth. Somehow the tooth fairy even gives you double the money when you're staying at Grandaddy and Memommy's house! Funny how that happens!!!

Valentines Day....Colorado Style!

Here are a few ski pictures until I get the other 500 on my computer!
To say the kids are doing great at skiing would be an understatement! When Cason gets tired I have to remind myself he is only 3!! Cassidee almost never gets tired, wants to stay longer, and is actually much faster than me---that's not shocking. She can turn, stop, and even hop as she is skiing along!! She rocks!!!

V-day morning came with sweet friends bringing heart shaped donuts to all of us!

Cason has done way better than we expected!! They only take 4+ in ski school, so we lied about his age! :) He did a half-day on day one and a full-day on day two! He's pretty awesome....except for stopping!!

He's riding the lift with his instructor----she loved Cason!

And here is Cass riding with Jeremy! He picks her up from ski school at 3 and takes her back for more for another hour! He was worried that he wouldn't be able to "help" her since he is on a snow board---she doesn't need help!!! She's never even fallen while getting off the lift!

*we even took the kids for a half day yesterday afternoon. We rode the huge quad lift up and the kids did awesome! I'm super proud and Cassidee is already counting the days until next year when we come back!

Here's a pic of two cuties---we are sharing a condo with friends and this is Landon. They look alike with the blonde hair and blue eyes, and these two "love" each other!!

Happy Valentines Day from my two loves.....what a stinker next to that snow bunny!!!

Holiday Break

We wrapped up holiday parties at school.....

.....and Christmas shopping for daddy at Cabelas..... (I love this pic of Cason and Blayze!)

....and enjoyed the holidays! I took less than 10 pictures the whole break, but that was because I was enjoying what was going on around me!!! The kids received fun gifts from our family!!!

Cason got a tool set!

Cassidee's favorite gift was her American Girl Doll!!

Twins! Ha!

And we had tons of fun playing with Blayze!!!!

Here we are on Christmas Eve!

After Christmas Cassidee got to take her doll, Paisley, to get her ears pierced and get her hair done.

Pretty girls!

The kids got me a Smurf cake for my birthday---and tried to take a big bite of it!

:-)

And here are the two pictures I took from our Houston trip---the fashion show put on by Cass and Reagan!

Lovely bride!

We are now back in the swing of things, wearing new clothes to school.....

.....and crashing out in the floor at 7:00 on Friday night!! :-)

Happy 2012! It's gonna be a great year! - Posted from my iPhone

I did it!

This weekend we went down to San Antonio. My parents and I ran a half-marathon but we also thought it'd be fun to take the kids and show them the sights!
We rode one of the River Boats. The kids loved that!

We stayed in the hotel next door to the Alamo and we walked over and toured it. We explained the story of the Alamo to the kids. Cass was worried there would still be shooting going on when we got there. We must not have explained the ending very well!

Cason's favorite part---a cannon!

And the coon-skin cap!

We walked around the Expo after getting our race packet.

Rock N Roll girl!

About to run....

I was totally overwhelmed and it took me a few miles to actually calm down. It was so crowded and foggy!!

But I finished! I crossed the finish line hand-in-hand with my parents, which was cool! It wasn't my best time ever so I'm going to try another one in May. Just call me half crazy!!

October Wrap-Up

Lots of pictures----
We've enjoyed the warm weather and playing at the park!

We've played hard but crashed even harder, most days!

I went to Painting with a Twist one night---so fun!!

We've had soccer every weekend. I LOVE watching Cass play and feel like she is very talented!! Here she is goalie!

Here are her scraped knees after the game!

End of season, getting her trophy and posing with her awesome coaches!

Cason, on the other hand, is fun to watch, when he is actually on the field! If you look closely you will see a plastic dolphin sticking out of his mouth! (one of the rare times he decided to run on the field!)

Here he is---same trophy, same coaches as Cass!

I wanted a pic of each kid with their trophy. You'll see after Cason's progression of pictures why I never had time to take one of Cass!
Mean face!

Silly face!

Uncooperative face!

Really??

Okay, that's a good one!

Quickly followed by a cheese face! Dork!

Here is what he usually is doing on the soccer field!

Moving on....
We went to Top Golf! So fun!!!

The fire clowns came to DCE. Cass felt pretty cool that she knew them and got a hug from them!!

I took lunch to my moms school and brought this cutie pie with me! Check out all her necklaces!

We always head out to the pumpkin patch and have pics with our favorite movie characters! I've taken theis pic of Cass every year since she was 6 months old!
