Snow Day!

2007-12-07T20:27:00.000-07:00

We have to get a lot of snow to close schools and businesses in Summit County and today that was the case. Lilly's daycare was closed so we stayed close to home, went for a ride in the sled, ate lots of snow, threw snowballs and marched in the white powder. We've received well over 30 inches in the last 2 days and it does not appear to be stopping anytime soon, but that's okay we were ready for it this year and right in time for Christmas.

Whew! Lilly after a great day on the slopes.

Thanksgiving

2007-11-22T22:12:00.000-07:00

Does anyone else sit down for dinner and it looks like this? It never fails, that when it is time to eat, the melt down begins, babies need feeding, toddlers are ready for nap time or stinky has just arrived in a diaper. It's all worth it and we are truly thankful to be so blessed this year!

Lilly obviously does not like candy! Can you tell?

It "know," it "know."

2007-10-14T23:03:00.001-06:00

Last night before we went to bed we were sure to show Lilly the giant snowflakes falling outside of our bedroom window. This morning she kept asking "where'd it go?" - "where'd it go?" while at the same time she was pointing at the closed blinds in front of the window. We opened the blinds and said "snow" and her interpretation was "it know." All day she pointed outside at every window and the sliding glass door claiming "it know."

Pumpkin Fest

2007-10-14T22:52:00.000-06:00

We went to the pumpkin fest today, however the fest was four hours long, but they ran out of pumpkins within the first hour. We still had a great time watching the other kids and the costume contests.

Spiffing Up The Back Yard...

2007-09-27T00:25:00.000-06:00

The backyard has been a piece of work since we moved here three years ago. Ryan put up a privacy fence, built a deck out back, just finished the dog run, and moved tons of rock. All of the rock you see in the rock gardens came from right here in our very own back yard. If you need rock, just call the Ramsay's...we could spare a few loads. We are super excited to finally have grass, trees, an indoor and outdoor area for the dogs, and soon a swing set!

Ryan's Hobby

2007-09-24T21:31:00.000-06:00

Two years ago Ryan decided he must have a new project to keep him busy in addition to all the house remodeling he likes to do. This meant he was in the market to find an old car to fix up. This is how we acquired a 1969 Mach 1. Many of you have seen the "ugly" version of the mach 1, but now that she's been to the body shop and put on her makeup she's much prettier. Soon she will have guts and a motor and we'll no longer have to pedal her like the Flinstones. You'll also see that Lilly (daddy) had to have a mustang, but hers is much newer and has a motor.

Whoa!

2007-07-26T21:50:00.000-06:00

Sorry Lilly, but I had to post this picture. Lilly's friend McKenna gave her this cute little hat and she insisted on wearing it into the bath tub as well as after she got out of the bath tub.

Lotion?

2007-07-26T21:47:00.000-06:00

Last week it was Yogurt painting and this week she used the Yogurt as lotion!

Lilly's 15 Months

2007-07-19T23:41:00.000-06:00

She weigh's 20 lbs, she is 29 & 3/4" tall and her head circumfrence is 47 cm. She's doing terrific and eats very well, however the Doctor wants to try and fatten her up a bit as she feels she should at least be 21 lbs. Lilly now gets to eat a lot more butter, cheese, cheese and more cheese, sour cream (yummm...loaded bake potato, pasta with lots of parmesan cheese, garlic bread, you name it!). Lilly is on a mission to be 21 lbs by August 20th.

A Few Fun Shots!

2007-07-07T00:46:00.000-06:00

Lilly had to squeeze and say "WOW" to the decorative grapes every morning. She loved to look out the windows when she'd eat and point and say "BOAT". She always thought she saw a boat on the ocean and most of the time she did, but sometimes she just liked to say "BOAT". Her favorite spot was the back patio where she could look thru the railings and see the pool and the ocean. She also enjoyed sipping a frozen watermellon "fufu" drink one evening when we went out to dinner at The Lighthouse.

Lilly could not get enough of Mamaw and Papa's new pool. Literally, she drank at least a gallon. She thought it was so refreshing! She loves to splash, put her face in the water and jump (fall) to you from the side of the pool.

One thing after another....

2007-06-30T00:26:00.000-06:00

As part of celebration and honoring our countries Indpendence, Starizon was closed all week from July 2 - 6. Lilly and I took this opportunity to set out on a mother / daughter adventure and head back to Roatan for the week, although there were several times when we thought we weren't going to make it. Starting Saturday, June 30th, Ryan took Lilly and I to the airport to depart for Houston. Not only did I have Lilly, the stroller and a 1,000 pound backpack, but also two large suitcases. One belonging to Lilly and I and the the other was full of supplies that my parents had bought in the US and asked me to bring over for them. This was all great because Ryan could help me check the bags in Denver and they would be checked all the way thru to Roatan. So we are on our way! Now we are in the air almost to Houston and the captain announces that we'll be joining the evergrowing line of airplanes hovering around Houston to land at the airport once the storm moves on. Unfortanetly, this was the beginning to a very non-enjoyable start to a vacation. We were now running low on fuel and could not make it to the Houston airport so we landed in Austin, refueled and headed back for Houston. We landed 2 1/2 half hours later than originally planned (so a 2 hour flight took us 4 1/2 hours). Our layover was exactly 2 1/2 hours in Houston, therefore we deboarded the plane and ran thru the terminals to the International terminal to find out we'd missed our flight to Roatan. I was so upset, because the airline we chose to fly on only offers 1 flight per week from Houston to Roatan, therefore the next time we could get out would be the following Saturday. I went to the customer service counter and of course, they closed at 3:00pm so my only option was to call there 800#. I was determined to make this work and we weren't getting on a plane and going back home. Come to find out, another airline had a flight to Roatan on Sunday morning. So, I was able to cancel my current itinerary and receive credit for a future flight and book a new ticket the following day, yippee! However, I still had a 14 month old who was climbing out of the stroller, fed up of smarties and kissables, the 1,000 pound backpack and needed to figure out where I was going to stay and where in the world is my luggage? Luckily, the Marriott is attached to the airport, so we were able to walk to the hotel, order room service and relax. But, I still didn't have my luggage. I called and called and finally found someone that gave me some useful infomation, so on Sunday we woke up early and went to baggage service and a nice man went to the airline I was originally scheduled to fly with and found our luggage. So we were off to check-in, but wait, of course this can't be easy. They are telling me I didn't buy our tickets. C'mon people, how much more of this do I have to deal with. After 30 minutes of the representative talking on the phone with a supervisor, we finally had boarding passes and time to get to our flight. We've boarded the plane and now we've been in the air for 1 hour and 15 mintues, Lilly's been sleeping the entire flight and things couldn't be more perfect....UNTIL....the captain announces we are turning around and heading back to Houston, WHAT??? Houstin, AGAIN! The navigation system had gone out on the plane so we had to go back, sit in the airport for another hour and then FINALLY we departed and landed safely in Roatan exactly one day later than we were supposed to arrive. It was all worth it, because we had a fabulous time and made lots of memories!

A Day At The Sedgwick County Zoo

Mama, I love my new Mercedes convertible!

2007-06-08T21:49:00.000-06:00

This petal car has a story. About 18 years ago (wow that's a long time), I went to a car show with my family. I guessed how many balloons were stuffed in a car and this is what I won. Now I get to pass it down to Lilly. She loves it so much, she was standing on it and kissing it!

This weekend we had lots of girl time. Friday after work we played by the lake and took a fun picture with Jamilee, Isabel and Katie (aren't the matching hoodies too cute!). Satruday afternoon we went to Jan's house by St. Mary's Alice. Wow, this was fun and very peaceful. Jan has a great place at 10,500 feet.
