Last glimpse of great weather

Rich traded in his Ford for a dodge last week and the day that we were getting the truck cleaned up to trade was beautiful. It was warm and sunny but not too hot. AJ and I sat outside enjoying the last bit of good weather I think we will have before the winter. I had to spend a lot of time sitting behing AJ since he is too young for sun screen but I didnt want his head to get sunburnt. He just loves it outside, just like his mom and dad.

Bed Time

Before I became a mother, I used to laugh at those moms and dads that would sneak into their babies rooms just to watch them sleep. Now that I am a mommy, I totally get it. I love to just watch how he positions himself. For awhile he was moving to his side with his arms up, then when he learned to roll over he would roll over and sleep on his belly. Well now, he either sleeps with his arms under his head and his legs tucked under his tummy so his bum is in the air or else he scoots to the end of the crib so that his head is in the corner. It is so funny, I which I could know what is going through that precious little head of his. And did I mention that I love nap time on the couch with my little angel.

Hat, hats, hats

AJ has quite a few hats for being so little. The other day we were trying them on to see which ones still fit his quickly growing noggin. Richie them began making up names for all of them. We were laughing so hard and AJ was having fun for a bit but then he started to get mad. The one we were missing was his "homie" hat. We seemed to have misplaced it but will post when I find it.

Cutie in Camo

Rich and I bought this outfit the when I was about 5 months pregnant. We never found out if we were having a boy or a girl until he arrived so I had just came to the realization that I was going to be making a lot of camoflauge headbands or bows if we had a little girl cause with Rich as the dad, our children are gonna wear camo. This outfit finally fits him and he is so cute in it that I just want to squeeze the heck out of him.

Like father, like son

It always touches me to see AJ with his daddy. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful hands on husband who enjoys taking care of his son. There is no way I would be able to have a family, do school and have my dance studio without such a supportive spouse. AJ is looking more like his dad every day. I thought these pictures were cute and you can totally see the resemblance.

GO Broncos!!

I am not much for football but Richie loves it and his team is the Broncos. It is so funny cause AJ will watch the TV like mad when football is on. He loves to watch football with his daddy and he also likes when he is with the sitter monday nights and gets to watch football with Beau. Here is his cute Bronco sweats he wears on "game day".

Dinner Time

AJ cannot yet eat solids but Richie and I make it a point to sit at the table for meals and have him there with us so he gets used to having family time during dinner. Now that he is big enough to sit in it, he loves his high chair and wants to sit in there while we eat and while we cook or clean so he can watch us. He also loves the wash cloths that we have from Grandpa Tony that he knitted so we sit him in the high chair with a cloth and he is happy as can be.

Baby Bones!

My sister in law Anne Marie bough AJ this cute little halloween onesie that has a skeleton on it and the bones glow in the dark. The picture in the swing is when we first got the outfit and the others are just a week later but you can see how fast he is growing by how he fills it out in just a week. You gotta love his cute smile to, he is getting such a personality.

Cinderella, Cinderella!!!

As most of you know, I have been running my own dance studio since the beginning of the year. We were asked by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council to take part in the ballet "Cinderella" put on by State Street Ballet Company out of Santa Barbara, California. It was an amazing opportunity for the girls and they had so much fun meeting the professional dancers and having costume fittings for the Own costumes. Here is the handful of girls that participated and then a picture of two of my girls that are particularily special to me as they are such great and joyful students and their moms help me out SOOO much with dance and with AJ or whatever I need. Thanks Mindy and Abby!!

What a BIG boy!!

AJ is growing so fast these days, it seems as though he reaches a new milestone or a new development every day. We even though he was loosing hair until we realized his head had just gotten much bigger. He looks so grown up in this cute outfit mom got for him and the blue really brings out his beautiful blue eyes.

New Couch!!

As I said in the previous post, we recently got a new couch!! We had been planning to get a couch for a long time now but were not really in a rush for one. Well, I decided one night when we were going to a benefit dinner that I needed to shine my Harley Davidson leather boots, and for some reason, I decided to do so on the couch. Well, I got shoe shine all over the couch, making a new couch a necessity. We got lucky and found a couch the next day in Rock Springs and the best part, it was almost half off!!! Here are pictures of our new couch that we totally love.
