Crested Butte, Colorado - October 2012

Last year we went to Crested Butte Colorado. We hiked up the mountain, shopped and ate well. The trees were turning colors so they were beautiful. An Aspen tree was right outside the house that we stayed at and it was so pretty, it just glowed in the sun. Matter of fact it was so pretty that I purchased a plate that has an Aspen tree painted on it to remind me of it glowing golden yellow color. It was very cold while we were there. There was a coffee shop literally right next door to the house that we stayed in and an ice cream shop across the street.  Need I ask for more? The bears came around every night to dig in the trash, however the trash was locked and of course I was never able to see the bears. Maybe next time...from a far distance.

Gotcha Day

                         One year ago today we got our beautiful baby girl!!

  

 

One year later here is our beautiful baby girl in her Gotcha Outfit!

 

 

Today was a wonderful day.  One of our cousin's came by and brought his beautiful baby boy and the babies played so well together.  Then we went to an inside play place and played some more. We came home and took a spin in our new red wagon around the neighborhood.  We had lunch and nap time. After that we attempted to take pictures in the Gotcha outfit. We went to Gramma and Poppys for dinner. Daddy brought us Christopher Elbow Chocolates...Yumm-O! We brought Daddy a Reese PB Brownie...which also looked Yumm-O!

 

1st Train Ride - Pumpkin Patch

At the Pumpkin Patch they have a mini train that takes you around the grounds and then through a tunnel on the way back.  My baby girl got her first train ride.  She was a little hesitant at first, but knew that it couldn't be all that bad since there were more kids on the train than adults. lol. 

 

 

                                                   Her face tells it all!

Pumpkin Patch - October 2012

Last October we visited the Pumpkin Patch.  So exciting to take my baby girl with me this year.  We have been going to this pumpkin patch since my niece was really little and then when my nephew came along we took him with my BFF two boys as well.  And our other BFF would come too! We always have so much fun and love the pumpkin donuts...they are so yumm-O!

Moon Festival

Last September we attended our 1st Moon Festival celebration as a family.  They had great food, lots of great crafts and games for the kiddos, the Lion Dance and drums, and the latern parade. They also had a story teller come to tell the kids stories.  Since our daughter was more interested in taking steps, we move out from the crowd to give her room to practice.  She immediately took off and my husband and I was watching our daughter just to see how far she could get and then realized she was about to go right up behind the story teller and possibly interupt her story telling.  So I took off running after our daughter, to keep this interuption from happening.  So yes, our daughter walked for the first time at the Moon Festival.  She was taking baby steps up until that day and then she just took off.  So wonderful!!!
