March 2010
So we are finally at March - and only the start. Last week was Dr. Suess Week at daycare in honor of Dr. Suess's birthday. Thursday was "Western Wear Day" and Nathan was the cutest cowboy there!

We started February with a trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science with Chris & Susan Dennison to see the Genghis Khan exhibit. Very fascinating - but we were not allowed to take photos, so you want see any here.
Jason, Nathan & I also attended the JWU "Black & White Affair". Jason and Nathan were in kilts and my hair dresser did an up-do for me after my haircut! We do have plenty of photos of this as my mom wants to see my hair! :)
Finally Ethan and Nathan have been able to play together fairly often. They are 12 days apart and Nathan is hugging Ethan - not choking him! :)
Jason and I also cut Nathan's hair this month. So you can see the longer hair-do and the shorter one. It's certainly not pofessional - so we will have to get it "fixed" next time - but it grows so fast!!!

January 2010
January had so much going on - I don't know where to start.
Some of the highlights were a visit from Grandma Wanda and Poppa Jim, January 14th - 17th. During their visit we attending the National Western Stock Show where we saw a Wild West show, got to pet animals and Nathan got to meet Wild Bill and Annie Oakley. The grandparents also had to get him a T-ball set.....that he can do mass destruction with inside. :)
While they were here Jason and I had a date night where we saw CATS.
The following weekend Jason, Nathan & I went with our friends Chris & Susan to a Nuggets game. It also happened to be mascot night - so we have photos with lots of the Colorado mascots.
Enjoy the photos.

December 2009
After working for 3 weeks in December I had 2 weeks off for the Christmas break! YEAH!!!
During this time we attended our neighborhood children's party and also a party at a neighbor's home. It only took us 4 years in this neighborhood to make it to the "A" list parties! :)
First of all I won 19th row Avalanche tickets for December 22nd! The game started at 8pm so Jason and I got a babysitter and headed to the National Hockey League game. We lost at the end....and it started to snow on the way out to the car and all the way home. But we still had fun!
The first week I was out Nathan and I hung around the house because it was COLD and SNOWING. Day 2 he locked me out of the house - in the snow - in slippers. I went through 3 screens until I found a window that we had left unlocked. My next step was calling 911. He sat right by the door he locked me out of and did not move from that area. He did console himself by coloring on the walls and door with a marker while I was out....
We also went back to his daycare for their Christmas party. It's too funny to see 18-24 month olds "partying".
Christmas Eve we attended our candlelight service at church and went to our neighbor's holiday party. Christmas we were home, just the three of us, and it was pretty low key. Nathan really got into opening the gifts. Before that he had not really bothered the packages at all - just the train underneath!
The next week I enjoyed time with Nathan. Tuesday, Stacy and Ethan joined us for a trip to the aquarium. Wednesday Nathan and I headed to the Children's Museum and Thursday (New Year's Eve), Jason, Nathan and I went to the Denver Zoo for the Zoo Lights.

November 2009
November went by in a flash. I started my new position at Johnson & Wales, Assistant Director of Experiential Education. Two weeks later the Director was gone! I went through intense training with some ladies from our Providence and Miami Campuses and feel much better about my ability to be of great use to the department!
Jason is working in Cheyenne, Wyoming and downtown Denver. We rushed to get as much Christmas shopping done as possible so we could check gifts in a suitcase to bring to SC when we went home for Thanksgiving. Still spent well over $100 in just shipping this holiday season - maybe even closer to $200 when you factor in the almost 100 cards we mailed out!
We flew home on Thanksgiving Day this year and flew back the Monday after - to return to work on Tuesday! Thursday Jim and Wanda picked us up for the airport and took us to Terry & Harold's home to celebrate Thanksgiving. There were about 30 people there, including the DeWitts, the Moles, the Darby's the Jennings and the Braxtons. It was great seeing everyone!
Friday we visited Nathan's Great-Grandmother, Vernelle, AKA "GG". We then ate BBQ, saw some friends and that evening headed to Columbia to the Japanese Steakhouse. We had almost 20 in our group - this was my chance to see and catch up with as many friends as possible! I saw Ann Flynn - my best friend in high school and college that I had not seen for more than 10 years. Shannon my old pal and past roommate. I saw Alexa who was 8.5 months pregnant, Sherry who looked awesome as always and Stephanie who had lost 105 pounds as of 1/4/10. Jason got to see his friend Troy, who he'd not seen in about a year.
Saturday was the Carolina-Clemson game and we gathered at my parents' house to watch the game. Carolina had a surprising victory!!! Sunday we spent with Mom and Dad and Aunt Lil - going to church and just letting them have time with Nathan.
Monday Mom and Dad took us to the airport where we flew home without any problems. It was a great trip!
