A little video clip from our time in CO!

Catching Up...
How can we possibly bring you up to speed on the past 4 months?!
I'm ashamed to admit this is a record for us- the longest we've gone without blogging about our sweet Audrey! Perhaps it's because she keeps us SO busy during the day that we can't bear the thought of having to do anything productive in the evenings??
Anyway :), it's hard to know where to start... Since Christmas we've stayed busy with our normal routine- play dates, gymnastics, small group, young life, bible study, church, and somehow we both still manage to work! Jeremy turned 30 on 1/16 - woohoo! We took a last minute trip to central Colorado in February thanks to a free ticket from Southwest and the generosity of some great friends. We also had visitors in our house literally non-stop from 2/28 through 3/25! It was a total blast and poor Audrey was so confused...she'd say goodnight to one person then wake up to a whole new crew. We miss you Grammy, Auntie, Autumn, Owen and Lyddy!! :)
We have watched our sweet baby transform into a little girl right before our eyes. Not only is she growing physically (3 inches taller in one month?!), her little brain is working on overdrive! She has been repeating us for a while now, and thankfully she's forgotten some of the things she's heard. :) She talks non-stop and even says thank you, sorry, and bless you. She's also quite good at mimicking our tones and facial expressions. It's so hard to keep a serious face when we're supposed to! She's also a great helper and loves to sweep (but vacuuming is another story- trauma!).
One day in the life with Audrey these days will usually consist of a combination of the following: reading reading and more reading, counting, dancing, taking off her diaper, singing (ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, Are You Sleeping, Tomorrow from Annie, Mary had a little lamb) refusing to get in bed and then refusing to get out, tossing water out of the tub, tossing books, toys, cloths and stuffed animals into the tub (while mommy's back is turned getting the bath ready), emptying the dresser and attempting to change her clothes, climbing onto the kitchen table, terrorizing the kitties, begging for the Wiggles, insisting on eating with the Mickey Mouse fork, and my favorite- asking for "mommy snuggles." All while being ab-so-lute-ly adorable.
The TERRIFIC two's are definitely headed our way. :)
"Bullowing" with Elmo.
Don't let this picture fool you- she's actually not into sharing.
"Owsiiide?"
Audrey's boot phase.
Lots of fun time with Daddy in Colorado!
Sledding = pure happiness.
Having fun in the snow!
I love this sequence of pictures...
We visited the National Mining Museum in Leadville and
stopped to pose for a pic with this stuffed guy on the couch.
Audrey was not digging this situation.
Sunrise on our last morning of the trip.
We almost didn't come home.
Random side entry here-
Check out this beanbag that Nana made for Audrey!
How CUTE is this?!
RODEO!
hehe- I almost didn't include these but it's just another glimpse
into the daily hilarity of our lives.
Our silly, silly girl.
That's Audrey behind the paper, btw. :)
We'll blog soon about the upcoming 2nd birthday festivities! Lots of love to all...
