Someone got quite the surprise!

Whole splash park.

Me & Mini-Me.

This is the look of pure joy...makes my heart smile!!

2010-03-04T14:57:00.004-07:00

A beautiful 60 degrees out today. Finally got outside for awhile. Micah is such a little dare devil. He is not afraid to climb up the stairs and push himself down the slides.

Our lazy snow weekend...

2010-02-24T19:58:00.003-07:00

Trying to sneak in a nap....but daddy caught us. {notice Micah holding the remote}

2009-11-15T17:56:00.003-07:00

"The hottest guy on earth is one who crafts."

Micah's "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" inspired first birthday cards.
Very time consuming but alot of fun.

Micah saw the book behind the cards and insisted Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
be read to him right then and there.

This morning's breakfast.

2009-11-05T08:12:00.002-07:00

Apparently, all you need to make Micah happy is some toast (with a smidgen of jelly) and a banana. Pretty happy little guy this morning.

We set the record!!! Loveland Colorado hosted the World's Largest Gathering of Vampires for the Guiness Book of World Records. Bryan was an official adjudicator for the gathering, so the whole family dressed for the event. After the gathering was a family walk/run for charity. Bryan ran the entire race and had pretty good time. As for Micah and I, well we did finish and we weren't last so all-in-all a success :-)
