Potty Training...my baby!

My big 2 year old! Blake woke up dry and was so excited to go peepee on the potty! SO....Thomas underwear it is...and of course juice boxes for bribery! Wish us luck!

First Time Skiing!

Beautiful Colorado Mountains! First time skiing together as a family!

Fun family day skiing! Purgatory was awesome!

Ruthie and James after their ski class! They loved it and really did great! We were just bummed not to ski with them - their instructor was having so much fun with them that he brought them back late LOL!

Look who Got Snow! Not bad for not skiing in 14 years!

Landon and I had never been skiing together! It was so much fun - especially with his arm around me on the ski lift!

Fun in the Snow....real Colorado Snow!

Landon and I took the kids sledding up past Purgatory Ski resort... The hill was small but the kids had fun :) Between friends and walmart, we were set for warm clothes! Ruthie is our little snow bunny and James is fearless! Porter and Blake weren't too sure about the snow - mainly because everytime they would take a step they would sink and that freaked them out! It was kinda cute hehehe... Weston LOVED going down the hill on the sled and even Porter went down with a big smile on his face!

Fun in Durango

We came to Durango Colorado fro Spring Break and the kids have been having a blast!

Good Morning Daddy! The kids loved having their slumber party and being at the Tuckers for our Spring Break! The red carpet was rolled out for us! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for having us! The kids had a blast exploring and finding walking sticks and looking at the fish in the pond! James even found a frog swimming in there...

We went swimming - YES - swimming at the awesome indoor pool at the Durango Community Center! The kids LOVED the indoor water slide and Landon did flips off the diving boards... the kids loved the lazy river with the whirpool in the middle and other than it being freezing outside :) we loved it! and what is better than baths after?! Hailey girl (1 1/2)wanted to join her cousins and had so much fun!

The kids had so much fun with new cousins' Ryin (5) and Ty(3), Sam and Jen's kids! They were so excited to play and swim... Ruthie and Ryin loved that they both had names starting with "R's"...they had matching hair all day too

The little chairs were just perfect for sitting and eating and hanging out too :) We have been having a blast and being spoiled too!

A Day Out With Thomas

We had so much fun in Globe, AZ on Saturday! Landon and I took the kids to spend a Day Out with Thomas the Train! Our kids, especially our boys have always loved Thomas Trains, so we decided to take them to see the actual Thomas Train. To my knowledge, this is the first time Thomas has come to AZ. They had face painting, tatoos, megablocks to play with, train tables with wooden and electric Thomas trains to play with...story telling, a huge tent to buy stuff - of course the kids loved this...I was smart and brought a baggie with our trains, to avoid the overspending.... We had lunch and listened to the band...at 2:15pm we boarded the train and rode 1st class in the coach right begind Thomas! What a wonderful day and so much fun! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Huso for meeting us there and having such a great day! Blake played trains during lunch! Good thing we brought ours so we didn't have to buy any there!

Face painting was awesome! James had lighting bolts painted on and Ruthie had a side view of a butterfly! Check out the train tables in the background! So much fun! The kids loved meeting Thomas! It really was awesome to see him on

the tracks, larger than life!

The kids were wiped out! They didn't even stir when we took them out of the car! Of course I had to wake them up after to bathe them - they were filthy!

Get 'Happy' Balloons!

Grandma and Grandpa Huso brought by balloons to cheer up the kids! They are so sick with the Flu right now! James is the only one who hasn't gotten it and we are hoping it stays that way! Thanks for helping our little ones smile and be happy Grandma and Grandpa. We love you!

Ruthie lost Tooth...at school!

Ruthie has 2 loose teeth (well 1 now)! She refused to even attempt to wiggle it or pull it out yesterday and pitched such a fit when I even wanted to touch it that I let it go - yes I did- and sent her to school. So today she came through the front door PROUDLY waving a baggie holding the precious tooth, announcing "Mom I lost my tooth at school!" and then proceeded to give me a detailed play by play, down to what everyone in the 'group was doing and wearing and saying, and was ecstatic that her friend Lily covered her mouth (Ruthie's mouth) and accidentally knocked her tooth right out AND "there was only a touch of blood and it didn't hurt at all "...

to which I responded "That is awesome!" and it is - no drama, mess or hassle for me- aka - AWESOME!

Here is the picture she made me take, right before bedtime!

Harlem Globetrotters Game

For Christmas, Landon got tickets to take Porter to the Harlem Globetrotters Game. So, off they went and Porter was thrilled to get a ball to have them sign...well when he would let it go!!!

Just look at Porter's Face "I'm good just don't touch my ball!!!" He loved the game AND having special time with Dad!
