Conversing with the Gods

Today was such a beautiful day, that Skyler and I decided to go for a walk at Garden of the Gods! She seems to enjoy it as much as I do!

Skyler Loves Storytime

I know I've mentioned before that Skyler just LOVES storytime at the Library, so today I made sure to snap a photo so I could share it with you!

This was snapped during the opening song, where the kids pick an item of clothing they are wearing and we sing about it. Skyler picked her pony-tail today. (She usually just tugs at whichever item she wants to sing about.)

But one really exciting thing about today's story time? Skyler said "Spider"!! Her favorite song is the Itsy Bitsy Spider, and when the leader asked if anyone knew what song we were doing next, Skyler yelled out "Spy-ER!" So she went ahead and took Skyler's request :) She's been saying it all day now. So we've sung "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" more times than I care to count today!



Daddy's Been Gone a Week... (written by Skyler)

Hi! It's Skyler and since I keep pounding on Mommy's keyboard, she told me to make myself useful and update this blog for her.

My Daddy has been gone for a week now, and Mommy has picked a new favorite word. She says "No" all the time. And she is usually pointing at me when she says it, I can't figure out why though.

For the first few days after Daddy left, it was really pretty outside. So Mommy let me play in the backyard, lots. I like to push my car around, and sometimes I drive it backwards. (Going frontwards isn't as much fun.)



But the last two days it's been really snowy. Mommy makes me wear a coat, and we don't stay outside for long. Mostly because the snow is cold, and I don't like to touch it. But before it snowed too much, we did go for a ride with the Sled that Mr. Santa brought me. That was fun, Mommy ran fast around the yard. But when I tried to pull her, it didn't work very well. She kept falling off, maybe I run too fast for her.

But I wanted to tell everyone that we are having fun and playing lots. Mommy keeps busy by crocheting, she is making an Olympic Afghan while she watches the Olympics on TV. (Maybe they should have disc sledding in the Olympics, I would be good at that.) She mostly works on it while I'm asleep, because I think it's too boring.



And while I think the snow is really pretty. I do wish it would go away so I can go play at the park without having to touch it and get cold!



I should go now, Mommy is going to give me Blueberry Bread for breakfast. Then we're going to color pictures for awhile. Have a nice day!

A Week With Daddy

Ryan rolled out of town this evening, after spending a full week here at home.

I'm always amazed at how much we manage to squeeze into a quick time. Ryan got some work done around the house (mainly, removed a few of the Lilac bushes from the driveway) and we spent a day skiing at Monarch. Not to mention the nightly Olympic viewing, and lots of play time with Skyler.

Under the Sea

Grandma Pam is on her way home. (As I type this, her plane should land in Lincoln in about 15 minutes!)

Today on our way to the airport we stopped at the Aquarium in Denver to kill some time, it ended up being a GREAT experience!

Skyler had a lot of fun with the "Kitty", at least until right after this photo was taken and the "kitty" walked right up to her and she ran away scared.


Grandma and Skyler had a lot of fun this week, and finally at the aquarium Skyler *almost* sat still long enough for some photos!


She really loved watching the fish, I was actually shocked at how well this crazy little girl sat and watched the fish.


All in all, we had a great visit with Grandma! We were so glad she came to visit, and we already miss her.
