We had a monkey themed birthday party complete with Monkey invitations, monkey games, monkey music, and monkey food. Levi talked about it the whole week before. It was a blast!
And of course what monkey party would be complete without a monkey cake? I am proud of how good this looks.....thanks to my best friend Martha Stewart for the idea!!!!
Two days after Levi's birthday my kids and I went on an airplane to Utah for 12 days. Poor daddy had to stay home to work. We attended my grandpa's 90th birthday party and......I got sick for 4 solid days, and didn't really fell sll the way better for a week, which is why I didn't get to see a lot of my Utah friends.....so please don't feel left out if I didn't see you, The thing I saw the most of on my vacation was my mom's couch! Thanks mom!!!
This is Levi and I on the airplane. He did such a good job. He was very intimidated by the airport. He threw a tantrum when they checked in his carseat, made him dump out his milk from his sippy cup, and take off his shoes. But he loved being on the place and even stayed in his seat while mom went to change the diaper that Ruby so graciously filled with a very smelly smell during take off. 
This is an adorable picture of Ruby with her Great-Grandma Lyon. We got to go to lunch with them when we were finally feeling better. Levi was in a mood that day. I promise Grandma that he is really charming!!!
Levi really took a liking to my little brother. They were buddies playing bus, and on the swings, and going on adventures outside. However, I guess that he doesn't call any of his uncles here in Denver Uncle, because he calls my brother "hunka Steve" and I think my brother is a hunk, it was sooooooooo cute!!
Ruby found a new favorite toy in Utah. She loved this carrot. She doesn't have a blanket or anything that she is attached to, but in Utah she was attached to a carrot......and now that she is 6 months she eats them and likes them quite a lot!
So we had a good vacation. We loved seeing my nieces Julia and Hannah. Levi treated Julia like he treats Ruby wanting to give her kisses all the time. We wish that we had those things that they have on Star Trek sp we could beam to Utah to play with them all the time.
Well I guess that is about it. I will be a better blogger someday. Sure love ya!
I thought that I would have a picture of me and Noah so that you can all see that we look the same. We had a good Christmas....we got our first house!!!
This is Levi with his cousins Jonah and Bella on Christmas Eve. They live here in Denver and Levi LOVES them. He calls them JonahBella....one word. They are so fun to play with and we love living so close to them.
This is Levi and his Jeep. You will notice that he had his pant rolled up to his knees. This is what he does when his pants get wet..and he says "Pants Sick." He loves his jeep.
Ruby was happy on Christmas too.....she was 2 and a half months old, and got a few little toys and books.
We have had a few visitors come see our new house and want everyone to know that they are ALWAYS welcome. Here are some cute pics.
My sister Leslie came in July for a long weekend. We had so much fun. This is a picture of her playing Dance Dance Revolution with my children. It was a blast! I am sorry the picture is sideways...I just don't have time to figure our how to fix it!!! Leslie and I made the cutest purses ever... I am proud of them, I should take a picture of it to post.
....My cousin Ashley competed in a scholarship competition at Johnson and Wales University in Denver. So her and her parents were here for the weekend. Ruby got to play with them at their hotel and we stole Ashley to come spend one night at our house.
