Danny Visits KC

Danny took his first plane ride to KC. He was a super star both ways on the plane. And prepping for a 4 month old is quite different than for a 2 year old! Danny and Mom thought it would be fun to pop-in for a quick visit while Dad and Tommy had a boys weekend in Denver. Tommy and his Dad had a great time - well everything but Tommy's 3rd hair cut (not his favorite activity), but he survived and they had fun.

Danny and Mom just hung out with Gigi and Papi most of the time. However, we got to visit a VERY special person - Great Grandma Grams - who we adore!! Aunt Donna, Doug and Cousin Angie also popped in over the weekend to meet little Danny.

Despite a quick trip, it was a nice treat for all! Thanks for playing Gigi and Papi. The Z Man from OK Joe's is the BEST and can't wait to have some fab BBQ again soon. oxox

Sacked out on Anut Beth's Bed (don't worry, I did have my pack 'n play) - but just taking a little cat nap before the plane ride

It was wonderful to see you Grams and can't wait for our next visit!! You are one funny lady. Love you. Cuddled up with the big guy.

Grams is concerned the socks don't fit right - note to Mom to get bigger socks :)

Looking good!

I'm loving this pretty pink sweater. No spit ups, please! Well done Danny.

Happy guys

All smiles with Aunt Donna!

Playing with some of my favorite things

On New Years Day, the gang played at Liam's house. 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Liam's new choo, choo bed)!!

Bundled up to romp around in the snow

Just a few shots taken from my phone. We had the most beautiful sunset from our "mountain view" home! Not captured quite the same as in person but who doesn't love a winter sunset.


Danny is so smiley. Starting to make all sorts of happy noises and likes to hear himself "talk." Just like someone else I know - monkey see, monkey do!

Brothers bonding in the bath!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2011!!

To ring in the New Year, we had a very pretty snowfall. Tommy had no interest in sledding but swinging! It was a whopping 10 degrees and sure enough the wind blowing in his face was no big thing. He really wanted to build a "BIG" snowman but it wasn't the best packing snow unfortunately. "Someday."

Trying to make a snow angel but not so sure about it...

Snowmass Visit

So we decided to venture to the mountains with both kiddos for some mountain air! We hadn't traveled in quite some time which we are used to so it was a nice escape. Despite it being a quick trip (due to a storm that was supposed to come and never did), we had a nice visit. We just went for 2 nights right after Christmas before New Years. The highlight by far for Tommy was the bus ride to base village "again, again." We told him "someday" and he continues to remind of this often saying "someday" for all sorts of things.

Perhaps next year we'll get Tommy on skis. We saw little ones on the hill who were super cute. A sign said "Parent Free Zone" which I can totally appreciate so the teachers can actually teach. In the meantime, maybe we'll get him some ski gear to play with.

Strolling with Papi in base village.


Gondola ride. "Again." This we did do again and he loved it! Poor Danny wasn't too fond on the way up although I think his Mom over dressed the poor kid. That Colorado sun is tricky.
