Memorial Weekend Activities

We had we a great memorial weekend here in Colorado. We took the family up to Vail, CO, made a stop in Breckenridge and enjoyed the nice mountain weather. it was a great little get away for us and the kids.

Emma also finished her first year of preschool this past week. She learned so much and looks forward to going back next year to learn even more. Along the way she made some friends that we hope to stay in touch with.

Now it is off to the summer activities.... For dad it consists of working on my deck and putting a fence up in the back yeard between us and our neighbors. That ought to keep the busy all summer. For mom and the kids it will consist of going to the pool plenty of days and just taking in the great Colorado weather.

Check out all of our pictures from Emma's last day of school and our trip to Vail, CO.

Jaime in the heart of the Vail Village. Vail has a heavy German Influence. If you ever get a chance to go they have great beer, great brats, and one of the best Oktoberfests around. Call me if you are in Colorado and we will go together.

Emma and friends on the last day of Pre-school. It was ice cream social day!! That is not an illusion, she is taller than everyone else. Hard to believe she weighed 1lb. 15oz. at birth!!

In closing.....I am starting her young at the golf game. This is Emma at home working on the putting skills.

HE WALKS!!!!

It has been a little over two weeks since I have posted. I apologize because I was out of town for work a couple of weeks ago and then everything after that has just been total chaos.

Onto the good stuff. ..... Jackson started walking about 1 1/2 weeks ago. He is now going all the way across the room and coming when we call him. in my eyes this is when it gets to be a real fun time with the little ones.

Emma is doing well, she is almost done with pre-school for the school year and I must say she learned a lot for her first year in school. Her reviews from the teacher are all excellent and she is going to be just fine. Who would have thought for a second that this little miracle was born at 28 weeks, weighed only 1lb 15oz. and just simply beat the odds. She is awesome!!

Across the Room!

This walking thing is easy!

For Jaime and I things are pretty normal. We are going through our life and enjoying the kids and trying to make the right decisions as parents. This parenting thing is definetly tough but by far the best most rewarding adventure we have both embarked upon. Enjoy the pictures of the watch, Jackson walking, and just some general shots we have taken in the past couple of weeks.
