Bridget is 1!!

Our little Bridget Love had her 1st birthday on January 12th. Shes such a SWEET HEART, so I decided on that as the underlying theme. No giant pirate ships or princess casltes for this birthday (but wait til next year ;-)

Bridget was just a little shy with the cupcake to begin with, but dug right in after a little prompting.

Jaxon was eyeballing the dessert table all night. He was given one cupcake under adult supervision.

Later in the evening he was found stripped down to his underwear hiding under the table with a cupcake...

(While praying for our dinner) Dear Jesus,
Please forgive my baby sister Bridget. Thank you for our food.
Goodnight.

Doing a little Homework

Jaxon brought his Buzz Lightyear laptop into the living room and announced to Heidi and I "I need to study, by myself"

Things Jaxon Says

Me-"Time for bed Jaxon."
Jaxon- (waving his hands up in front of me)
"Wait, wait, Mom! Lets make a deal!"

Durango!!!

We took a trip to Durango this week. Mostly to relax and recover from all the craziness that December brought. Also to celebrate Bridget's 1st Birthday!! We enjoyed the snow (Jason went skiing and we all went sledding) some shopping and some great family time. Jax didn't ski this trip, but will hit the ski school at Sandia Peak next month.

I'm convinced Bridget will be more amused by the snow next year... For now she will remain a snow-bunny and would prefer to sip hot chocolate by the fire in the lodge.

Jaxon was a sledding trooper. After a big crash where he met the snow face first he was writhing on the ground. In between moans he said "Ohhhhh, Can I do it again!?! Ohhhhhhhh"

Jaxon got his own sofa bed which he immediatly jumped on and Bridget had a pack n'play.

Jaxon got to spend his dollar he'd been saving at the candy store. It took him a while to make a decision. (or to understand why a dollar can't buy everything)

We went out for a big dinner and ordered a mint ice cream cake for desert in celebration of Bridget's 1st year. The kids dug right in.

Quite the Snazzy Dresser

Jaxon marched in the office tonight to announce that he is ready. If you can't tell from the picture he put on his snowboots, bathing suit, a backpack and of course his hat. Ready for anything.
