So as many of you know, Ryan has been working Downtown covering the DNC...and I found his picture on the FOX 31 news website! He's the guy that's looking down! He has been working 12 hours and then some every day since Saturday and still has two more days to go...poor guys are exhausted. So far Ryan hasn't gotten into anything too exciting to tell you about, just did a little riot control the other day but for the most part he's just on foot patrol making his presence known with the rest of the PD! Obama comes in today, so maybe he will have some excitment today!!!

3 months old

We took Brooklyn to get her 3 month old pictures today...I still can't beleive she is already 3 months old. My gosh that happened so fast. She is learning so much. Still haven't gotten a laugh out of her, but we sure are working on it! She's a tough little cookie! You can just tell that lil laugh is dying to come out!

Look at our cute little family!!!

Fly me to the moon

We took Blake and Brooklyn along with the Zepeda Family to see the 3d movie "Fly me to the moon" oh did they have a great time! Blake was making us laugh, he thought he could touch the objects cause of his 3d glasses try explaining 3D to a 3 year old! It was a great movie and we all had a really good time!

New Endeavors

I am so thrilled! I got a new job !!! Boy that was fast...thankfully! I quit my job Monday and by Friday already had a new job!!! I landed a great job at the Colorado State Bank and Trust downtown, in Private Financial Services! I am so excited, after my interview on Wednesday I really wanted the job, My new manager seems like a great guy to work for, and to make matters even better, I'll be making more money and get way better benefits! I always say things happen for a reason, and I truly believe that!

It has been brought to my attention that I had forgotten one of the most important benefits of my new job....I get to work like a block away from my sister!!! We plan to ride the light rail to work together and car pool together...so it will be a great save on gas....as well as take some lunches together!!! we are both very excited about this...as we can never get enough of each other!!!

New Adventures!!!

So I did it.....I finally resigned my position at Wells Fargo. Although it was a tough decision to make, it was the right thing to do! Some times employers get a little too comfortable with you and vise verse! So for the time being I am searching for a new job...hoping to find something part time but if need be I will take on a new full time job...I have a few leads that look promising, so I'll be sure to update with what becomes of anything! God Bless my supportive husband, with out him I wouldn't have this opportunity to be with my little ones as long as I have or the chance to re invent myself!!!

Thumb Sucker

So our little Brookybear has become quite the little thumb sucker! Her Aunt Jenny is so proud!!!(she was a thumb sucker too) It's so different from when Blake was a baby, he never wanted a pacifier or his thumb, he just wanted the real thing! Brooklyn turned 12 weeks old today....I just can not beleive how fast the time is going by. I am so enjoying my time spent home with the kids. You don't realize how much you really miss out on until you get to spend 12 weeks off with them. Brooklyn is really becoming interactive....it's so enjoyable and rewarding to see her smile and respond to our facial expressions....we are dying to hear her laugh...Ryan has tried everything, so far we only get a smile...I just know a laugh is on it's way!!!!

Brooklyn 11 weeks old

Blake's last Tball game of the season

Saturday was Blake's last T-ball game for the season! He had a lot of friends and family come out to watch his last game, he was so excited to have them all there! Blake made some really good friends playing T-ball as did we! After the game Blake's team went up to CiCi's pizza for a team party! Ryan handed out team medals. We signed Blake up for Soccor in the fall which starts in September, we are really excited to watch him play, and hope that Ryan will get to coach him in that too!

Last week we went to the Cherry Creek Resevoir and left Brooklyn with Grandma and Grandpa Hart. Blake had so much fun out there with us...I think he felt like the old days before Brooke was here! It was nice getting to spend that one on one time with him. While we were there we were eating lunch on the boat and Blake spotted a flock of geese floating on by us and he yelled "Hey Geeks come back" we busted our guts...it was so funny...he kept calling them Geeks because he couldn't say geese.

Last week Blake's Granddad came to his Tball game for the first time! Blake was so excited to have him there and to show off everything he has learned! Ryan was also pretty excited to have his dad there...watching Ryan coach his son Blake...and the rest of the little sluggers team! Seems here lately his dad has been pre occupied with others, so to have him out and spend the afternoon was nice!

So today I decided to substitute one of Brooklyn's feedings with a bottle instead of the breast and as I was feeding her she reached up and grabbed her bottle (which she has only ate from maybe a handful of times).....I let go to see if she could hold it on her own, and by golly she did. I am so not ready for this....she is catching on so quickly and learning so fast. I am happy she is so smart, but sad that my little girl is growing so fast!
