My Prince and Princess

Parker insisted on wearing his pj bottoms all day.....he cried everytime I tried to take them off.

Madison insists on wearing summer dresses everyday that we are at home....no matter what the temp is outside.


Monday was a long day in my house..it was another cold day and we were housebound. The wildflowers had fun playing dress up.....and as you can see in the background of Madison's picture, they also had fun trashing the house : )

Beautiful Colorado

Saturday was an absolutley beautiful day! This weekend is so "Colorado". Saturday I believe the high was 73, and Sunday the high is 36 and snow!!! Seems so crazy to me!

We really had a wonderful day. Matthews grandmother, his mother's mother, is failing healthwise. Her kidneys are failing and the doctors have not given her to much longer to live. So, some of Matthew's cousins from Oklahoma City have come to visit her, and us and go skiing. So this morning, I took the wildflowers down to visit Grandma at the nursing home where she lives. I think we made the day of many of the little ladies that live there because they soo loved seeing my wildflowers. They just lit up and went on and on about how cute they were and how they wanted to keep them! We took Grandma for walk around the lake since it was nice out.
Grammy Karen, Grandma Mary Lou and the Wildflowers....
Later we met the Oklahoma cousins at the park so the kids could run around and play. The twin girls are 3 and baby Kaleb is 4 months. Madison couldn't keep her hands off of him!! We had a nice time catching up with them. Later in the evening they left to go Angel Fire and we celebrated my birthday with Matthews parents and siblings because we hadn't had a chance yet. Amy Catherine made a delicious apple crisp and Scott wipped up some yummy strawberry dacaris! Complete with Pizza and presents it was a great evening!! We did miss Amy Rene and her gang though : (
Amy Catherine and Madison...

Future Phil or Tiger????

Parker has a huge love for sports......if football is on TV or if he even sees a football somwhere he yells......FOOTBALL!!! Same with basketball!! If you are watching one of these events on TV and you dare turn the channel, he completely has a fit! His latest love is golf. He is obsessed with Matthews golfbag. The golfbag is stored in the basement and the minute Matthew gets home from work, Parker is hounding him to go downstairs to get it!! Matthew gave him one of his irons and a couple of golfballs to carry around the house and he plays with them a lot!! Last night when I went to cover him up, this is how I found him:


Here he is practicing his put.....
