Fall 2011




Well we have had a really busy fall this year. I never realized how much there is to do with kids and now that the kids are getting a little bigger especially Cavyn it is so much fun to do fall activities. We went to Miller Farms one saturday morning with daddy before work and had a blast doing all the fun and free activities that the farm offered. We bought two pumpkins there and when we got home the kids painted them and then we put witch eyes, and hat, act on them. It was fun and Nycolette had a blast painting. We also had a last barbq with the neighbors a couple weeks ago where the kids all painted halloween decorations, then we grilled chicken, and all hung out. The men watched football, kids played, and us girls well ate cookies. We have also gone to a lot of farmer markets this farm which Chris and I love. Cavyn has done multiple art activities this fall including painting paper pumpkins with Nycolette to decorate their playroom.
Both kids started their fall activities two weeks ago and they love it. Nyco is doing gymnastics at the Mountain Kids with me on Thursday morning and love everything about it especially clapping when other kids do things. She enjoys the mommy and her time and takes advantage of every moment. Cavyn started amazing athletics which is where they teach him the basics of every ball sport. He does this on Thursdays with daddy when we are at gymnastics. So far he has learned volleyball, football, and hockey (which he already knows). He loves it and talks about it a lot. He comes home and tries to teach me how to do them. He also enjoys daddy time and I think it is great bonding time for the boys. Well that has been our fall so far, we are getting ready for halloween on Monday and the kids have two costumes that they love and can't wait to show them off.

Snow Day


Well today it snowed about 13inches at our house, and about 2 feet in Estes. I didn't have to go to work because of the snow so it was pretty exciting. Cavyn had so much fun with the snow and played outside most of the day taking small breaks to warm up. He also got to go play outside with our neighbors and their little boy so he had fun. Nycolette went outside once to play but we don't have great snow boots for her yet so she couldn't stay out long. She did love it though and ran up and down the driveway throwing her arms up and down. It was great!!!
Chris of course is hunting this week so he missed their first snow of the year:( As of today he still hasn't gotten an elk either:( Other then playing in the snow Cavyn, Nyco, and I made no bake cookies, ate chicken noodle soup, played, played, played, watched the Lion King, and they both took naps sadly not at the same time so I didn't get to nap. It was a great day!
