Some highlights from our trip to Colorado...enjoy!
Flew into Denver and got to spend the weekend with Tony, Renee, and their kids. Anderson calls Reece and Ava his "first friends"...miss this wonderful family but so thankful for the time we get to spend with them. Also got to see my cousin, Bobby, and meet his sweet little baby...Cooper!
Then up to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort!! This was our forth time with this group...8 of the 14 DG 2010 residents and their families were able to make the trip to Princeton. When we started our residency journey there was one child and now almost everyone has children. We filled 4 cabins! Great trip and great memories!
An annual tradition...dinner at Laughing Ladies in Salida.
Started as residents in 2006, now all attending EM physicians...from left: Zach, Ben, Brad, Elijah, Andy, Nate, Matt.
Moms enjoyed a morning of pampering at the spa and adult pool while the dads took the kiddos to the pool...so awesome!
Dads enjoyed a few bike rides in the Colorado Rockies.
Isabel falling into her role as the "oldest" very well!!
So fun to watch all the kids play together. From left: Tyler, Adeline, Addison, Torch, Anderson.
After a few days at Mt Princeton, we headed to Aspen/Snowmass. It was our first time and sooooo pretty! It was really great to have some family time too. We went on a great hike (all the pictures are on Brad's phone) and some long walks, had a nice family dinner at Pyramid Bistro, shopped in Aspen, and played at a few parks.
Anderson thought this was pretty cool!
Pool time with Adeline and Daddy where we stayed at the Viceroy - Snowmass. When we turned the TV on in our condo it said "Welcome Dr. Brad Talley"...that's pretty cool! Super fancy place that we would love to go back to...without the little ones! ;)
Brad just left for a 4 hour bike ride with friends (after about 5 hours of sleep)...I know, he's crazy! But I'm so happy he gets to spend time doing what he loves and with friends! I, on the other hand, am still lounging around with the kids...doing nothing physically active. I have a weird pain in my right hip that started on Thursday at the end of a pretty easy 6 mile run. I'm so extremely paranoid about a major injury that I've decided to take the whole weekend off. It's really hard to take time off. No fun...for me!
Meanwhile, the kids and I are headed to the zoo with the Jacoby family for Shannon's birthday! Shannon and I have been friends since 7th grade. Her friendship has truly been a gift...from the first few weeks when I desperately needed a reason to feel happy and included (after moving out here abruptly from South Dakota) to the past few years as we have entered a new role in life...mommys! Shannon you are a beautiful person and perfect life long friend. Thank you for always being there!! XOXO!
Adeline absolutely loves books! On the plane ride to and from Maui, I think we read the same farm animals book about 1700 times. And she got a kick out of it every time! Yesterday at Adeline's one year well-baby exam, her doctor gave her a new book and she got super excited. She started babbling, turning pages, and pointing to pictures in the book...he was impressed...of course!! Ha! Here's a little peek at her "reading" a book...enjoy!
Oh...I tried to trim this video to the first 40 seconds or so but it wouldn't upload...gets a little boring after that...sorry.
Today was Adeline's first birthday! It's hard to believe that 12 months have gone by since she entered our lives. We had been waiting for her arrival for weeks when she finally decided that it was time. She is such a sweet girl and so very easy going. I am eager to watch her grow into a girl but hesitate to let these baby moments go!
Adeline - thank you for being a perfect compliment to our family, thank you for sleeping 12-14 hours at night, thank you for your bright smile, thank you for laughter, thank you for your slobbery kisses, thank you for all the joy that you bring to your dad, brother, and me. We love you and are so proud of you!
We had lots of fun this evening with family (Grandma Suanne, Grandma Shorty, Grandpa Mark, Grandpa Tracy, Jane, Auntie Aly, Grandma Great, Grandpa Great, Uncle Steve, Aunt Cathy, Brad, Anderson, and me) and good food! Thank to all of you for making Adeline's day so special.
Hope you enjoy these photos and videos...
About as crafty as I get... a banner with pictures from each month of Adeline's first year.
Adeline opening presents...totally comfortable taking center stage!
Enjoying some super tasty cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes...YUM!
Had a fun day with friends at Lake Tye in Monroe. Got to run, walk, ride bikes, feed ducks, and be with friends! We feel so blessed to have a fun and energetic group of friends...even more blessed to be going through life's journey with such caring and authentic people! We love you Judy's, Horner's, Roach's, Willis's, McClure's, and Vaughn's and cherish each of our gatherings.
Anderson and Adeline had a blast and both crashed fast on the car ride home. Don't you hate it when you are so tired and all you want to do is rest your head somewhere?!? Is it cruel that Brad and I were laughing?
