Pigtails! Hooray!

"Are you sure these things aren't in too tight? My head hurts!"

"How cute am I?"

"I guess I'll half smile with Daddy. I can't believe he let Mommy do this to me!"

Don't you just love pigtails on little girls??!! I do! Brinlie finally has enough hair to do two small pigtails. Hooray!

Denver Children's Museum

Last weekend we made a trip to Denver to go to the Children's museum. There were so many things to do there! Brin had a great time running all over and interacting with many, many kiddos! She danced around on the dance floor surrounded by mirrors; she played in a "cottage", "birds nest" and crawled around in an underground tunnel; she also "shopped" for groceries at the store; put on a puppet show with mommy; and explored a real fire truck. We can hardly wait until she's a little older and able to do more. We will return!

Brin and Kate playing on the fire truck. Brinlie enjoyed "pushing Kate around" and not getting in trouble for it! :)

"You wear the stupid hat if you think it's no big deal!"

A 1st birthday shout out to my friend Kate! Hope this next year is a great one! Now get walking so we can create chaos for our parents together!!! (We'll get all of the dogs in our plan too!)

"I do NOT do hats!"

"Why must I wear this santa hat?"

"PLEASE stop the insanity! I will not wear this hat!"

"Your camera is just not fast enough. Sorry. No hats!"

For over a month I tried and tried to get a cute picture of Brin with a Santa hat on. She absolutely refused to cooperate. (Big surprise) The above pics are just a few examples of her reaction. The only time she would willingly wear the hat, the camera was either no where near us, too slow, or she'd rip it off the minute I got the camera out. This was one battle I was not going to win. Oh, well. Maybe next year. (But don't count on it!)

Family pictures

Isn't this just a sweet pic?!

What a little doll!

The Noskers

Here are a few of the pictures we had taken recently. I wanted to get some nice pictures to give out for Christmas and to include in our Christmas cards. I just wish that Grandma K could have seen them before she passed. It's been a long month and I'm exhausted. We were in UT two weekends in a row, I've had a sick baby (on the day of the funeral, no less...not fun!), and I'm just done with work. Thank goodness I have two weeks to recover. Needless to say, the crazy, hectic, busy month has made blogging low on my priority list. We hope everyone had a nice holiday and safe travels.

More Thanksgiving Pics

While we were in UT we got to meet up with our friends who also had babies in 2007. Ironically, it seems to be that we see our fellow CO friends in UT more than in CO?! Anyway, here's the cute pic we took after lunch out with many, many children...some still in the womb! :) Soon Brin will have 3 more friends to play with. We can't wait to see them in May (or earlier) 2009.

Uncle Brenden and Brin in seriously the cutest picture of them!

Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we were all able to travel back to UT for a visit with all of the family. Here we are with the Noskers.
