Spring 2009

Happy Summer!!

We had a fun & eventful Spring...we celebrated both kiddos birthdays, put our house on the market, had Sierra's first hair cut and Ashton's first dentist appointment.

Ashton completed his first year of preschool and had a wonderful year. His teacher Ms. Kim said to me, "he always has a song in his heart!" and that's so true, he's our happy little guy!

Sierra is talking more and more everyday...she is picking up on so much it's just amazing. She rather suddenly made the transfer from her crib when we found her climbing out of it during a nap. She's doing terrific in her "big girl bed"! It's crazy how fast she's growing up. She's ready to start potty training but I'm not sure if I'm ready to tackle it just yet!

We have a busy summer ahead of us as we prepare to sell our house and move to Castle Rock but we've kicked it off with an awesome start already and we know we will have many more happy memories to share soon!

That beautiful season the Summer! Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Hoping the birds and the buds are right!

It's been a mild winter here to say the least, we rushed out to get the kids snow gear after our first few big snows in December and it's hardly snowed but a few flakes since then! Ashton is anxious to try out the new sled that has been sitting dry & dusty in the garage but at least we're getting in some wagon rides!! Other than the impending worry about drouts and the inevitable watering restrictions this summer I'm not too disappointed. I'll take sun over snow any day!!

The Monkey & Bug-a-boo are doing great. We're very proud to say that Ashton is now officially potty-trained! WOO HOO! Sierra might not be far behind, she thinks that her brother is just about the best thing since...well, sliced toast...and wants to do everything that he does.

Hopefully we'll be able to share some pics soon of the kids out enjoying the first signs of spring!! Until then, warmest blessings!!
