Rest Part 1

Part 1 ( the first week that consisted of just my girls and I with the folks)

We had an amazing time in Colorado. The weather was super chilly but not much snow until the day we left then the snow came in :( My heart and belly is as full. The girls did amazing. It was their first time they shared a bed (a queen) and were cuddle bunnies most of the time with an occasional hair pull or screaming match :) Between the many fun excursions, eating, laughing so hard, hiking or walking the dog, we made sure there was time to relax and just sink into the couch. And oh it felt so good! It was such a treat for our whole family to be able to be together in Colorado. Thanks Mom and Pops :)





My sister is a pilates instructor so... because of that pilates seems to be apart of everyday. Here Jac is demonstrating some pilates positions that she is seeing from the poster on the window that says "do pilates everyday". It's funny.



Sonoma is the best dog ever. This particular day it was so windy that Buggie thought the wind was going to blow her away. So... we had to head back to the house. Instead the walk was just a tease for Sonoma.



My Peanut



Some family friends of ours own 3 horses so, we were able to spend the afternoon with them. My favorite part of this afternoon was watching the horses run as fast as they could and one particular horse had a thing for sniffing Buggie's head.



A special Saturday morning bringing home some donuts. Jac's favorite chocolate long john. Buggies favorite vanilla sprinkled and mine buttermilk glazed loaf. So good!



On this walk by a near by park my Pops and Jac found a small antler. It was quite an event for the girls. It is now on our bookshelf :)



So proud



Getting lot's and lot's of cuddles from Nana



My Pops planted a while ago 3 noble fir trees for each of their grandchildren. One for Jac, one for Buggie, and one for Rocket (that's the nickname of my sister's baby). Since it was close enough to Christmas my Pops thought it would be fun to decorate each with lights and ornaments. Jac had blue lights, Buggie had red, and Rocket had lights that were in the shape of trout.







Every night my Pops would make the girls a "special" kids drink, and a "special" mommy drink or two. It was quite nice :)

Part 2 with Jon, my sister Megs, and her husband Jared coming in just a bit :)
