We spent Mothers Day at my mom's house last night,,,she made an excellent dinner for us! I felt bad she had to cook on Mothers Day, but the other option was letting Dad cook,,,and so option #1 was much better. Trust me!  (Love you Dad!)

My precious Charlie--he has come so far in the last few weeks! He is walking everywhere, talking like crazy, and  taking sips from a cup a little more.  His sweet words include "moose, moon, bus, no, Mo-mo (Elmo) and toot-toot (Thomas obviously). This is a random selection of words, but it is music to my ears. I am so thankful to Lauren, Lori, Kelly, and Sarah at High Hopes. I am beyond words when talking about these women and others who have invested time into his life.  We only have a couple more months with High Hopes before Charlie starts school, and there will be many tears shed when we leave. But one day we will walk back in, and enjoy some nuggets and ice cream with the ladies!! Cant wait!!

This may come as a surprise,,,but William was crying during this picture. 

He looks so grown up!

Little redneck,,,but whatever :)

After a long day of playing, Charlie needs to chillax with daddy!

Colorado 2012

 We went for our annual trip to Beaver Creek, CO  and we had so much fun! I will say that traveling to and from Colorado made my blood pressure go through the roof, but it was so worth it to be able to go see the gorgeous mountains! Why do people look at you when your kid is crying on the airplane? I mean, I can hear it too and I am doing my best to make the crying stop! Turn AROUND! Yeesh:)

We went with Ash's family, and Papa and Nana were kind enough to stay in while we went out snowboarding! Super nice! The 4 grandchildren had so much fun being together and playing with all the toys!

So before we took off on our first flight, I put Charlie down in one of the seats  while I watched William walk around. I turned back to check on him, and he was gone! He had gotten down and just started walking in the airport! I was crying, yelling for Ashley, and trying to find my phone all at the same time. Here is a little video of him walking. I am the proudest mom in the whole world!

We took the kids to a snow park that they had right outside our condo. It was full of mazes, slides, and tubes! I thought William would be having a blast, but he cried most of the time.  Bless his heart!

sweet Hali,,,,the lone girl! We had so much fun with her!
