Keystone, Colorado

The last day Michael had to work so Hannah, Tate, and I sat out for adventure! He went to the playground, attempted a snowman, shopped, rode the buffalo (for the thousandth time), and of course waited for Santa and his two reindeer to come to the village. One night we even made a gingerbread house but, for some reason I can't find them!!




Last week we packed up and went skiing for the week. Tate was an animal! He seriously scared me to death. He LOVED IT. He skied with me for 2 days and 1 day he went to ski school. I loved skiing down to his school to watch him, they were all so cute!! Tate really loved his teacher, Mr. Joe they were partners in crime, haha. Tate seriously loved the lifts. I was thinking that he is a such an easy child. I can't think of very many 3 year olds that would leave their mommy for a day to go with a complete stranger and do something he has never done such as skiing, he loved the height of the lifts, and he loved the cold. He was telling everyone he talked to on the phone that he has a new home now and, someone needs to bring him Sadie and Dolly, haha! We had a ski in and ski out condo which may I say was awesome when a 3 year old is tired.
















I know I am late at updating my blog, I will try to have Christmas pictures up soon. Tate had a wonderful Christmas, Thanks to wonderful family and friends!

As Nancy Grace would say, Goodnight Friends, haha!!!!!!

Tooth Pain!

The past couple of days have been a bit painful. I had to have a infected tooth (molar) pulled. It had to be the most pain I have been in in awhile. Lets just say all the people that warned me that it was going to hurt, you were right! I had planned to have this done Thursday and return to work on Friday for parent teacher conferences well, that didn't happen. I have been in bed all day.

While I have been down I watched some amazing movies, Julie and Julia, 4 Christmas's, and My Sisters Keeper, and I am officially caught up on The Young and The Restless. I am about to watch Funny People now. So I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Lesson of the week, when you have mouth pain GO TO THE DOCTOR!

Much Love Courtney

Baby Jillian Is Here!

Last night we went to the Razorback basketball game. Tate loves the games, the hog not so much.




These are the pictures from Tate's eye on Thanksgiving. After this incident we really didn't take any pictures. Tate was not having it. But, neither would I if a stick went up my eye! Although he was in a really good mood the rest of day.


This picture is from a Fall Feast we had with our students, Tate plays so good with my students. While we were at the party, one of my students dad told me that Tate looked like he came from a gap commercial! Haha!


Last but not least, one of my best friends, Shannon had her beautiful baby. After a couple hours of hard core pushing she decided to come out via c-section. We are so glad you are here, and already love you so much. Congratulations, Lee and Shannon!
