A Pirate's Life for Hayden!

We have a little pirate that runs around our house. He wears a belt for his sword and sheath, a pirate hat, a hook over his little hand, keeps a spyglass in his pocket and a treasure map tucked under his arm. This is what he wears from the minute he wakes up. His trick is to tell us that he "pooped" so that he gets a fresh diaper. After the diaper he knows he's ready for a clean set of clothes. So he picks them out and asked to get dressed and even get his shoes on. Once he's ready he requests to watch Peter Pan or Return to Neverland. This happens EVERYDAY! We talk him out of the sword and sheath only for meals and nap time. And even then they must be kept close! He speaks in his pirate voice and is always looking for his treasure. He enjoys a good sword fight and is always willing to save the Pirate Princess (aka Bronwyn). He's certainly the sweetest little pirate I could ever imagine running into and I love him for his imagination! ♥

Bronwyn is a Preschooler!

Bronwyn is off at her very 1st day of Preschool! We've all been so excited for this day and have been talking about it for months! We got to take Bronwyn to the Meet n' Greet the other day where we saw her classroom and met the teachers. She was able to play around and get used to the room. Her class is in the afternoon so we took her up to the school just a bit ago and got her situated and then we were off. We stood outside and Danny asked if we should wait a minute just in case, but I started tearing up so I suggested we leave! I just love Bronwyn so much and to see her growing up is amazing. I'm so happy at the little sweet girl she has become. It's a big deal to drop her off and not know what exactly she'll be doing for every second we are away. I know it'll be so fun for her and I know she'll have lots of stories to tell! Can't wait to hear them all and I'll be counting down the minutes to see her smiling face!

Time for Sports!

I found a little soccer team to sign Hayden up on since Bronwyn gets to do so much and he is always just waiting around. I no sooner got him all set up and Bronwyn announced that she really wanted to learn to play soccer as well. Danny was thrilled that was into something other than dance so we got her into a team also. They are just the basics skills and such, not actual games. And these parent involved sports so I told Danny he could take over for these ones! The kids both had their 1st practices this weekend. Hayden was a little all over the place, but he still seemed like he was having fun. Bronwyn was really interested and did a great job listening and learning. Here are a few pictures from the day!

Celebrating 9 Years Together!

For our anniversary this year we kept up with our tradition of going up to Silverthorne and Copper Mountain. We been doing a little shopping and then having a nice dinner and staying the night up there and heading to Copper the next day for some some. Each year this same time is a guitar festival so there is a lot of fun going on. We went out on the paddle boats for a bit and then walked around some. We've been taking the chair lift halfway up the mountain and grabbing lunch and seeing the spot where we would like to renew our vows next year. It's so nice just to get away with each other with no set plans. Just spending good time together, revisiting our past and planning for our future! ♥

~Princess of the Pool~

Bronwyn is loving her swimming lessons and is getting very comfortable in the water. her teacher says that she shows a lot of enthusiasm and willingness to learn. It's fun to watch her "show off" for me and show me what she can do. I'm still waiting for the day that she will push off and be on her own... but she's enjoying herself and always doing a little more!
