Cancun


We went to Cancun last week to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe that it has been that long! We had a very nice relaxing trip just the two of us. We ate some fabulous food, sat by the pool, played beach volleyball, and went for long walks on the beach. Even though we missed the girls, it was nice to know that they were being well cared for by a family in our church.

Relaxing

The other day, I was cleaning up the dinner dishes and saw this outside my window. Auntie Fiona was reading to the girls outside because it was cooler than inside the house after a warm day. Natalie, of course, could not sit still, but Keira and Cayleigh were really enjoying the book. (I think their Auntie enjoyed the book just as much as they did.)

Summer Fun


Cinemark is offering some kid friendly movies for $1 per ticket every Tuesday at 10 am. I decided that it would be an affordable adventure for some summer fun. I couldn't resist stopping at McDonald's after the movie to treat the girls. Natalie enjoyed her first cheeseburger, and hopefully the girls will remember these days fondly. I remember the thrill of a happy meal and special toy very well....thanks Mom and Dad!

New Bike

Cayleigh and Keira had both outgrown their bikes, so we bought Cayleigh a new one as an early birthday present. Sorry, Keira. You get another hand-me-down from your big sister. I know just what that is like.

Teva Mountain Games


We spent our weekend in Vail, Colorado to see the Teva Mountain Games. We have been doing this for the last 5 or 6 years. Every year we take a bike ride along the river, past the golf course from East Vail to West Vail. It can be tricky with three children, but it is so beautiful. This was the first year that Cayleigh was able to bike on her own. Keira was on a third-wheel bike, and Natalie was in the bike trailer.

Happy Birthday, Natalie!

N1birthday034e

We celebrated Natalie's birthday on Tuesday, February 9. It is hard to believe that she is one year old! I love this photo of her talking on the phone to her Daddy. Drew had called her from the other room while we were getting ready to have birthday cake. She loves talking on the phone. She will giggle, squeal, and say, "hi" to her Daddy when he calls.

Natalie is very close to walking. She has taken a few steps and prefers to stand and play while holding on to things. She really enjoys playing with her sisters. Natalie still enjoys giving kisses. When you say, "night-night" to her, she will start smacking her lips together to give her goodnight kisses to everyone. So cute! We are enjoying her so much.

SolVista

We had a free day of skiing at SolVista on our Colorado Gems card, so we took advantage of that on January 23. We went with a great group of friends, who helped us with our kids. Drew and I even got to board together a little bit! The girls had such a fun day. Even Natalie enjoyed all the hustle and bustle of the lodge.
