Our Little Valentine

Our Valentine's Day was so low key this year.
We spent the night in with Chance and exchanged our gifts around the table. 


Chance made Max and I Valentine's crafts at Ms. Barb's

We gave Chance a stuffed plaid dauschaund and some M&M's

Ms. Barb totally spoiled Chance again with a life size Mickey Mouse

and Chance loved his singing Valentine's Day card from Grandma and Grandpa Lehman. 

Max decided to show his devotion by preparing grilled cheese for the family :)

We ended our wild night with  Chance's favorite bed time routine...jumping on the bed while watching cartoons

All in all it was a great day filled with lots of love and my boys!

Old friends and new memories

Last weekend we got to spend some time with one of my old college roommates and her family. They were on their way to the mountains and decided to spend a night in Denver because Beth and  I had not seen each other in four years.  I'm so glad Beth and her family were willing and able to spend an evening catching up with us.  One of the best feelings is being able to
pick up right where you left off with an old friend!

Meet baby Emily.  Seven weeks old and all smiles and cuddles. 

Beth and I talked and talked about everything from college shenanigans to motherhood.  It was amazing!

I also learned that Chance is much louder when there are two other little boys in the house to race cars with.  Max said that he learned that four children in our house is too many :0)

The boys had an absolute blast and we really enjoyed our evening with old friends!

Last Sunday, I took Chance to Wash Park to meet up with Callie and Tina.

Chance is becoming a total dare devil on the slides and with anything having to do with climbing. 

 

Chance and Callie love playing together.  We are going to have to schedule lots of play dates before the Ronchetti's make their big move to Illinois :(
I'm not sure who will miss each other more....Chance and Callie or me and Tina!

 

 

 

 

We wrapped up Sunday by having several people over to watch the Super Bowl.  It was a great weekend at home filled with friends and food. 

This and That

Here are some highlights from last week. Max continues to chip away at the garage project and Chance and I have spent plenty of time at the park and playing around the house.

Max took Chance to his first hockey game this week to hang in the suite with the boys. Chance is quickly becoming a daddy's boy.

I guess there is still not a lot to report. Just the calm before the storm...
Hope you are all well!

First Pair of Skis

Chance's first pair of skis arrived in the mail last week.  Grandma and Grandpa Lehman are coming to Breckenridge in the month of February and Max really wants to take Chance on the slopes to play while his parents are in town. 
Max and I have both read up on how to teach your children to love to ski (we know that this is not normal, but it is who we are). 


We've been playing around the house for the past week allowing Chance to try out his poles, put his boots on and off, and slide around on his skis. 

 

 

 

Hopefully, Chance will be ready to play in the snow when Grandpa and Grandma are here!

 

 

 

We can't wait!
