Sweet Girl turns ONE
Annabel turned 1 on Oct 2. I dont have the pics from her little party up, but she loved her cupcake and is enjoying all her new toys! 
The wedding
The wedding was about 15 miles south of Glenwood Springs towards Aspen. IT was beautiful! I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the bride to post. She was beautiful and we had such a great time. The first picture the girls with Caroline at the rehersal dinner.
Emma and Pops!
The family. Poor little Annabel at the end of our trip was sick. She and Brian actually went home early from the reception. She was running a fever. And turns out had another ear infection and hand foot mouth disease.Birthday and trip tp Colorado
OK so life has been so busy and I am just now catching up. I celebrated my 29th bday in Sept. Then we went to Colorado for vacation and my cousins wedding. We had so much fun in the "mountains" as Emma called it. We flew into denver stayed a night there and drove to vail the first day, we stopped along the way at Lake Dillon and had lunch. They had this awesome play ground that over looked the lake and mountains. The girls had so much fun. So we stayed in Vail one night then drove to Glenwood Springs and stayed for the wedding. I will have a wedding post next. On the way back to denver we took the loveland pass and that was really pretty and neat. We were up so high!

One Day
So I have read a couple of my friends blogs about a day in their life and it makes me laugh I can so relate. So I decided this post would be about our day today.
0730- Anna's up
0800- breakfast for Anna and coffee for me
0830- wake up Emma, or she would sleep unitl oh 9:30-10:00
0845- Bottle for Anna, ( yes I am done nursing)!
0900- Annabel morning nap. Then make Emma breakfast
0930- shower for me, while Emma watches TV. I need to get my hair dried and straightened and get dressed.
1030- Annabel aalmost ready. Get the kids dressed, we need to go to the store and to target. Emma however is very difficult to dress at this age and has an opinion about what she should wear. It is colder out today so I make her try on her jeans. She tells me " i hate wearing jeans, I can't march in them" So instead of the struggle we take of the third pair of jeans and go with leggings ( easier for marching) and everyones happy.
1100- off to target first. Get the cart that has little seats for Emma, which is then attached to the cart. Yes it is hard to push, but whatever. Picking up shampoo for me and Emma is using the bar on the cart like the bars at gymnatistics and swinging and practicing "basket hangs". All while Anna is standing up, or crying because she wants to be down and walking around. So to get things moving I am holding Anna and pulling the cart from the front (only because it is way easier with a baby on the hip to steer that way)
1145- to the store. Everyone is whining and hungry. We stop by the meats and get cheese for the girls. Emma puts the whole thing in her mouth at once so she can hold on as she rides standing at the end of the cart.
1230- Home! Unload and lunch time.
1:00- Annabel bottle, Emma's playing a game on the ipad.
1:30- Emma to sleep
2:00- Anna to sleep
2:30- The air conditioning guy at the door, because that stopped working, Awesome! I am whispering because Annabel is asleep in the pack n play in the guest room because she and Emma share a room and I dont want her waking up Emma early.
2:45- Anna crying because the service guy is talking so LOUD, really! I let her cry it out and back to sleep. I just need to send some emails, and really laudry will have to be another day, sorry Brian!
3:30- Anna awake. We laugh and play and totally enjoy my sweet littles
4:00 -Emma awake and crying, who knows why. The service guy tells me its going to be another $300, great!!
4:30- He leaves. I let the dog out ( who has to be up when people come over bc she's not to friendly to strangers.)
5:00- walk up to the village to take my dress to the dry cleaners.
5:45- Brian HOME. Thanks to Daddy's who take over when they get home.
6:00- Make dinner for the girls and Brian, I am heading out to meet the girls.
6:45- Meet the girls out. Thank goodnesses. Totally needed a glass of wine!
9:00- Home. Put Emma to bed.
9:30- Emma still up ( I love you Mommy) As I carry her back to bed for the third time!
10:10- finish this post, going to talk to brian and probably watch a show and stay up too late before having to get everyone up early for work in the morning.
Most of day with was spent pretending with Emma.I amPam, her preschool teacher and I was planning the day. All of her friends were with us most of the day too. The girl is always pretending!
This is a typical day and also pretty uneventful. I totally love this season of life, even though its CRAZY!! I am blessed with sweet girls and an awesome husband.

Hijacking the blog
Okay so I took over the blog today to add some random pictures that I had on my phone. The first one is Emma at Old Navy the other day. She really like the manequins in the front of the store. She was hugging the smallest one and said "daddy, take a picture with my new friend" Also added a cute picture of Annabel just so she wasn't left out.
The next pictures are from our trip back to Columbia last weekend. My aunt has a pool in her backyard and Emma loves going there to swim. She has become quite the fan of water this year. I'm sure Courtney will have a post and some more pictures later.

The Party
Emma wanted a pool party this year! It really was fun. Colby decorated the cake, which was awesome!
Emma has become a little fish this summer. She was in swim lessons and we now are getting ready to start them again, moving into the next class. Just in the last week she is going under by herself and she even went down the big slide at the pool. It is so fun to see her change and grow! She starts preschool this week, and she is so excited.
Emma's 3!!
I am pretty late on this post! Emma turned 3 on July 20th! Wow I can't believe it. Annabel is preventing me from writing a lot, she is cutting 3 teeth! So I will write more later about how awesome Miss Emma is! Here are some pics of her birthday. Party pics to come later!
Annabel standing
So I have a feeling this littles will be taking off soon. She has been standing and cruising the furniture for about a month. But now she is pretty good at standing by herself. She is so much fun right now. I know I say that all the time but I do just love this stage. She is so sweet and loves her family so much. She is copying what we do, in this last pic she is trying to blow a kiss. She is such a love and loves to snuggle!
