My Buddy

Logan and Krista came over to play on Saturday night. 'Logie' and Nadia chased each other around the pool table, played with her babies and slammed their sippy cups...

Logan giving Nadia a pep talk...you can do it!

Spring Break with Yaya & Papa!

Nadia didn't have daycare all week so Yaya and Papa came to the rescue! They got to spend some quality time with their bossy granddaughter who had Papa being a princess...Yaya going on a roller coaster....well, maybe not quite a roller coaster...

She even talked them into going to the Children's Museum!

What a fun week...and not just for Nadia. My floor was swept about twice/day and dinner was ready when we got home from work! I love having my parents here!!

Why do they call this finger paint?

Uncle Bruce Comes to Visit!!

We were lucky to see Bruce twice within a month! He flew to MN for his cousin's 50th birthday party and we were able to get some quality time in again! Nadia has a slight infatuation with him and was so excited to get to play and read books.

Nadia loves to run around the kitchen island and ottoman in the living room...she made sure to let Bruce get in on the fun.

Copper Mountain!!

We met my family at Copper Mountain, CO last weekend...what a GREAT place to spend a weekend! For those of you who haven't been there, I highly recommend it. The slopes were great (so I heard), the drinks were good and the atmosphere was the best!
Darren's Uncle Bruce was able to drive down and meet us for a night. Nadia loves her uncle Bruce and didn't let him out of her sights very much! The first day of skiing, Darren ran into his cousin Tyler...small world!! Bruce cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for us all on Saturday out by the slopes. It was a great day!
There was an area called CritterLand that was so much fun for Nadia. Of course, she loved the slide the best! Mauren is getting so big and has such a laid back, happy personality. She is such a sweetie...

Heat Wave!!

41 degrees has never felt so warm!! We finally have an upcoming week of temps in the 40's and we took advantage of it today! Darren went to the gym to run his 15 miles so I took Nadia outside to play...it's been so cold this winter that this is one of the first times that we've gone out and played in the snow.

Where's the grass, Mom?

Who needs a beach when you have all this snow?? It works just as good as sand!

Sickness and Superbowl

Nadia got hit with her first cold of the year and it was a doozy. She had the worst cough and we ended up keeping her home for 4 days...poor baby! Only because she was sick...I gave in and let her have a sucker and didn't force her to let me brush her hair...Darren got to spend his Super Bowl Sunday with 5 girls! Nadia and Nora LOVE playing together and it was pure entertainment watching them! Nadia is definitely the instigator and Nora likes to follow suit since she is younger. They pushed their dollies around the pool table and emptied the drawers in our bar.

Let's go for a ride...
