Savannah's Six Month Check Up

It's hard to believe Savannah will be one half of a year old tomorrow!

We had our six month check up at the doctor today and everything checked out great!

Savannah is now 14lbs 3ounces and in the 5th percentile. She is also in the 25th percentile for height and 20th for head circumference. 

Most importantly her lungs and her heart are still checking out as completely normal.

I saw this saying on Pinterest yesterday and it pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about this little girl....

I saw YOU and straightaway I knew that I was going to love you forever*

Our New Playroom and the Avalanche Game

The past few weeks have been busy! Work has been crazy for both Max and I so we have spent a lot of our down time just playing with the kids at home and watching football.


Savannah is now sitting mostly without support, so I decided to start bathing her with Chance in the evenings.
Chance loves the new addition to his bath routine, but

something tells me that Savannah is not yet sold on the joint bath routine just yet.  

Early mornings are currently my very favorite time with the kids.  I think it is because we are all awake but everyone is still in lazy mode.  I guess we like to wake up slowly together while snuggling in bed.
Baby cuddles, coffee, and the Today show are a pretty terrific combo if you ever get the chance to try it! I used to think that running was the only way to start my day.  This is quite different, but I much prefer starting my days this way :)

Check out our new toy room.
Max and I have been working on it nightly for weeks.
It took a while, but I think everything turned out great.
I love being able to watch the kids play while I cook and tinker around while cleaning.
It's super relaxing...not to mention that every toy in the house having "a place" to call home makes me JaZZ hands excited.  

 

 

This past weekend we started Friday night off with the Avalanche game at the Pepsi Center.
I tried to get a picture of all of us in an Avs uniform, but Chance i.n.s.i.s.t.e.d on the nuggets. Oh, well you still get the point....it was the Avalanche hockey home opener.  

Cook hooked us up with some amazing tickets and we were fortunate to view the game from a suite.  

 

The suites are meant to hold 20+ people, but all of our friends were late and or hanging out at the bar so we got some great family time in.  

It was so fun to hang out with just the four of us for a while...
(I mean somewhere other than our living room :) 

 

We had a blast! 

Our friends showed up somewhere around the second quarter and really livened the suite up.
We had a great time chatting and giggling while watching the game.

The Avs won in overtime!
Chance loved the chants and cheers.  He was beyond excited and requested a victory selfie.
Love that kid...
Here it is....this is what victory in overtime looks like for Chance and I! 

We wrapped up the weekend by relaxing around the house on Saturday and then heading over to Luke's for the K-State game in the evening.
The cats are not so exciting to watch this year. At least we have good company to cook food with???

Sunday morning was our same old same old routine with the farmer's market and the park.  It was the pet adoption fair at the farmer's market and Chance and I honestly looked for dog to scream out "TAKE ME HOME" but we didn't find it :(
Oh well....Max was against the idea anyway. Maybe in the spring?
We ended the weekend with a day of bean bags and BBQ at the York's  house with our fantasy football league.  It was a great day and great weekend.
I'm hoping the cold will hold off so that we can have a few more exactly like it (minus the Wildcat loss of course)!

 

Labor Day Weekend

Long weekends are the best!

We started ours out with a much needed date night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
There really is nothing better than dating your husband.  You don't have to talk and they know your order from the concession stand without having to scream/ask over the music. 

Our date was outside.  It was fun.  There was good music, and it was great to be together.
Date night was a success. 

Our little man could not wait to hug/tackle me the next day.  This also makes going away for the night kind of special.  It's good to be reminded that we miss each other when we are apart. 

I worked a 1/2 day on Friday and then spent the afternoon with the kids at the park. 


On Friday night, we headed downtown to Highland Tap for the first KSU watch party of the season.
Most of our crew was in Manhattan for the game....glad we didn't waste a car trip with the kids on that one!

It was great to be in the KSU alumni atmosphere.

We left at half time beceause I was starting to feel like the vibe of the place was more of a bar than a restaurant and I wanted to get the kids to bed. 
I didn't even know we lost until the follwoing moring.  Total Bummer...

We still love you K-State.  Now please, try to win.  Savannah's over it, but we are trying to teach her about loyalty :)

Saturday was l.a.z.y.
very very lazy and wonderful. 

We all needed to be together, do nothing, and recharge. 
We did start painting the kid's new toy room though.  After pictures to come soon!

We also managed to make it to the playground and to Pearl St. for lunch. 
We called it a day early and spent the evening watching movies in bed...which was glorious!

 Our Sunday was busy!
We had promised Chance a "choo choo" ride to the football game.  Cook had reserved us free tickets to the Rocky Mountain Showdown (University of Colorado v. Colorado State University) at Sports Authority Field in Denver. 
We didn't want to turn down free tickets and we wanted to see what Chance would be like in an arena setting.  It's always good to experiment with "free" tickets before spending $510 on broncos/chiefs tickets for a child that cannot stay in his seat...am I right? 

Lucky for us....Chance had a blast!
He loved the trolley ride. 

He yelled "ALL ABOARD" over and over!

The CU tailgate with Cook was also fun and not as much of a disaster with the kids as I had envisioned.  It turns out that sometimes it is good to play worst case scenario, becasue when it doesn't happen you believe that the day was a success.  HA!

Chance was hilarious at the football game and loved pointing out all of the dancers, buffalos, and players. 

Okay buddy, I'm sorry I doubted you. 

We had a blast!
We ended the night with Megan and Ben at Proto's Pizza. 
Who wouldn't love a day with babies, trains, tailgates, football, friends and pizza?

On Monday, we needed another recharge day with nothing on the schedule.
I took the kids to the park so that Max could get the majority of his work done while we were out of the house. 

I loved just being in the park with Chance and Savannah.  

 

We wrapped up the weekend with a grilled steak dinner and cuddles on the couch.  We are truly, lucky, lucky, lucky!
