On the move!

January 23rd, 2008

Alicia is 8 months as of yesterday and she decided that it was time to start crawling. She likes to go for books and toys, the trick is getting her sister to not bring what she is after right to her. She is so cute to watch, she will start to get frustrated when she cant get to what she wants. I guess we will get to enjoy a whole new level of baby proofing in the new house.

New House!!!

We have wonderful news, our offer was accepted and we will be closing on a new house for Valentines Day! Here is a picture of the new house:


Floorplan:
The new house is just up the road about a mile from our current home, so we will still be in the same church ward, and it is pretty much the same neighboorhood. The new house has 3100 square feet and should give us plenty of room to spread out as the girls grow up. It even has a fort in the backyard for them to enjoy. We have a crazy month ahead of us but it will be great fun.

CC Tigers Hockey

 

My work did a Customer Service Appreciation event and gave us tickets to a Colorado College Tigers hockey game. We decided to take the girls even though t made for a pretty late night, the game started at 7:30 p.m. The girls did great, and though she was tired Alicia stayed awake through the whole game. She didn't want to miss any of the excitement. We sat in the general admission area with all of the CC students so it made for a pretty roudy night, but it was a lot of fun, and it has given another sport for Adrianna to ask if she can play. "We go play hockey daddy"!!

Lil' Techie

Alicia couldn't resist the temptation to play on the computer. Aparently she is quite adeptat it, because in just a few seconds she figured out how to rotate the desktop 180 degrees so it was upside down. I guess it is more fun to use the computer that way! I had to do a little digging to revert it back to normal. Of course, Sarah was right there with the camera to catch her in the act!

"Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam"

Adrianna moved up to the Sunbeam class in Primary this year. Sunday was her first time in class, and we are proud to say she did great! She was reluctant at first as she wanted to stay with me in my class and the 10 year old boys, but she reluctantly joined the younger kids in sharing time, where Sarah sat with her for a little bit. It is amazing to see your little girl growing up in so many ways.

Sitting Up

 

Alicia has begun to sit up on her own lately. She is starting to do this in her crib and it is very cute. She rolls onto her belly and then she backs up into the railing and pushes herself into a sitting position with her back against the railing. She can then move about a bit by scooting as she pleases. Pretty soon she will be pulling herself up to peer over the railing.

Family get-together

December 29th, 2007

To finish off our Christmas week we got together with my family at my parents house. Judith and Kai came up from Blanca, Kurt came down from Steamboat, and Tamera and Crew came down from Denver. We enjoyed seeing Kai as he has grown considerably, and it was nice to visit with everyone, we even managed a game of Settlers of Catan which David won. Thank you Mom & Dad for coordinating everyone and for having us over. Here's to a growing family in 2008!

Adrianna did such a great job holding her sister and her cousin Kai!


Cousins with their Tio David!


Kurt and his "A" nieces!

Tio y Tia Visit

December 27th, 2007

We managed to keep our Christmas week busy with something almost every night. Thursday we enjoyed having Tio David y Tia Vanessa over for the evening. The girls loved visiting, snuggling & wrestling, with their aunt and uncle. We enjoyed catching up and it was a nice evening, thanks for stopping by!

Boxing Day

December 26th, 2007

The day after Christmas we went over to the Fedele's for dinner. We enjoyed a very nice dinner, then we opened their presents. Yes, the girls are spoiled!! Thank you very much for the wonderful gifts!

Christmas Day

Sarah had a blast taking pictures of the girls on Christmas morning. After we opened the gifts we enjoyed a quick visit from Sarah's cousin Bobby, and some Holiday French toast for breakfast. The rest of the day we spent playing with the various toys and relaxing, we also watched the movie Joseph got "Pirates of the Carribean, At Worlds End."
