11/10-11/14 Don's visit & Dale's Party

SO far: 11/10-11/12: Dave's dad (Don) stayed at our house for one night before heading over to his brother's for two nights. He flew in for his brother Dale's 65th birthday party. As you can see L was very excited to see her Poppi. It's the first time EVER that he's visited so this was a big deal! We drove him up to Cheyenne for the day so he could visit with Jenny & the kids and see her new house. We had a lot of fun and I made everyone take pictures in her backyard. Next time I'll make everyone go to a park instead for better backgrounds. :) We're looking forward to when both Mimi & Poppi can come out for a longer visit. On Saturday before the big party, we took C to get his very first haircut. He did really well and just sat in daddy's lap the whole time, taking it all in. I also cut more bangs for L to cover the bangs she cut herself back in September. The pieces I was using to cover the really short ones were getting so long and she just kept pushing them to the side, which defeated the purpose. Candy threw Dale a wonderful party. We had a great time.

4/24/11: L funnies

L is spending the weekend for the first time ever up at her grandma & grandpa's house in Cheyenne. We met grandma in Ft. Collins for lunch on Friday and she took L home from there.

On Saturday, Grandma said she saw L's light on at 6:15 am so Grandma told L that they were up and she could come out. She said she thinks L likes being in a house with early risers. :) Grandma took L to Kenzie's soccer game in the morning. Then Chase, Kenzie, Jenny, grandma & L drove down to Boulder for Chase's soccer game. Then they spent a few hours at Uncle Dale & Auntie Candy's house. Grandma said they played outside for two hours and did an egg hunt. Then they stopped in Loveland to use some gift cards before heading home around 7:30pm. It snowed most of the way home. After getting a bath, Grandpa read L a book on the couch and Grandma read her one in bed and then she was asleep within 2 minutes.

Today, we got to sk*pe with L before she went to church with Grandma. She was again able to recite Luke 24:6: "He is not here. He is risen!" They were going to have Jenny & the kids over for Easter brunch. Jenny said:

Quote of the day from my niece
L..."Brownies Have mold in them"
Gma..."who told u they had mold? "
L..."scooby doo"

Jenny said that L's cracking her up. :)

Sunday, 4/11/10...Cheyenne & baby bump

Today we went up to Cheyenne for D's nephew C's 10th birthday. He had 3 friends and some family at the Municipal Pool there. L spent the entire time in the pool w/D and had a ton of fun. I don't think she's ever been in the water that much (they make everyone get out of the pool for 15 min. breaks every hour) and she loved going down the slide with daddy. D was really worn out by the end. After the party, we headed back to D's mom's house with his sister & kids in tow. L had a ball playing with her cousins, especially K. She's 8.5 years old and is great at playing with L. We stayed for dinner and left around 7:45pm. L fell asleep on the way home and we were able to transfer her to her bed with no problem.

Here's the best cousin pics I got (you can see some of the series in the slideshow):

Here's a slideshow of the pics from today:

And of course, here's some baby bump pics too: I'm 18 weeks here.
