Just some cute ones from the last couple of weeks...

Less than a month until birthday #2!

AZ

We went to the desert, it was beautiful, but it was cold! Our one and only pool adventure ended in near hypothermia and a lot of tears. Not because they were freezing mind you, but because they had to leave the water. These two are stubborn. So we found adventures elsewhere.

At the train museum......

And at a nearby farm with a very cool petting zoo.....

Brynn and Alex are almost two and the speed at which they are learning to talk is so cool. They are stringing together 4 and 5 word sentences. Most of these are actually demands such as "I want (up, binky, milk, wine, beer  (just checking to see if any of my 8 followers are still reading!)) mommy." Brynn usually throws a "now" on the end of her requests. Alex is now responding "sure" as his affirmative. He's moved beyond "yes" and "okay." Pretty soon he may be beyond my conversation level.

Many thanks to Grammy and Auntie Lesley for all their help on the trip.

Phone Favorites

I'm really not the photographer in the family, so most of the cutest moments are captured with my phone. Here are some of the best from the trip....

Happy to be home with their toys and each other.

Christmas 2011

Put your shoes on Alex, we are off to Colorado.....

We are always prepared for the worst when we get on the plane, but so far the kids are really great travelers. They were snuggled in bed with Georgia, Rex and Tatum by Christmas Eve waiting for Santa's arrival....

Colorado was perfect with lots of gifts and a white Christmas....

We headed to Vail where there was no snow. I'm serious, more snow in Denver than in the mountains. It turns out that you can't really ski at 2 years old, but you can get really pissed about being outside in the cold for too long. But there is no such thing as a bad day in Vail and thanks to danny, I got to ski for the first time in 3 years, which was great despite the poor snow conditions.

We visited the aquarium in Denver and the look on their faces when they saw the fish for the first time, well there are few things more touching in this world. Snow and fish in one week, pretty great.

We are hoping for great things in 2012. Happy New Year!
