Princess Tea Party

Daddy, since you are gone ... this post is for you!

The ladies were invited to a Princess Tea Party birthday party, over this past weekend.  Not only did they have an absolute blast, but each were very excited that they were able to go out in public in their princess attire.

 No doubt about it, this party was a big hit with the ladies.  It was held at a local bakery, where the ladies were allowed to drink lemonade out of real china, eat tea style sandwiches along with veges and chocolate covered strawberries, and then topped off the party with each getting to decorating their own cupcakes with the works.   Seriously, what more could a little lady ask for?  No child left with a frown on their face!

It Is What It Is

It's amazing, how quickly life can change.  Not even a month ago ... we went from having a completely packed schedule, with parties, school functions, and being surrounded by lots of people.  This month ... Chiki now lives in California, I feel like an exhausted nasty blob, and me & the ladies have to search for things to do.

We have since changed Realtors, in hopes to have better luck selling the condo.  It is snowy, ugly and cold outside.  My fridge looks like a bachelor lives here, I have projects all around house that need to get done and no desire to do them, and I can't bare to go in my own room because most of Chiki's stuff is gone :(

This is definitely a test for me.  I am a planner, and like to have everything all planned out.  With this, we have to take things as they come, and I am relearning the meaning of patience.

Things won't always be like this, and who knows ... a few years down the road we might even be able to look back and laugh.  And until we can get this dang condo sold ... I do have the ladies to keep me laughing, all the while they get to keep their schedules and friends.  We are also having fun getting ready for the arrival of baby brother!

But seriously people ...  keep your fingers, toes and anything else crossed for us that the right person will be knocking on our door soon, and feel free to stop by for a visit because me and the ladies would love to see you!

Are You Ready For Some Football

Chiki & I brought in the New Year, by attending our annual Bronco football game.  This year we chose the Jan 2nd vs San Diego game, and it was absolutely freezing.  We were more then prepared this game wearing snow pants, thermals, blankets, the works ... along with taking hand and feet warmers.  Before the game we saw people walking around in nothing but long sleeved t-shirts, and they were making comments about how warmly dressed we were.  Not even by half time, people were freezing their booties off.  I overheard the guy next to me, talk about how bad he was freezing and he hadn't even been there 10 minutes.  Seriously people ... this is Colorado, and it pays to be prepared ha ha.

Anyhow, no surprise ... the Broncos lost but all in all, it ended up being a pretty close game and nothing beats the atmosphere.  Especially, when you are only rows behind the team!

Merry Christmas

Christmas this year, was a lot of fun.  We got the pleasure of sharing it with one 6 year old, and two 3 year olds, while staying at Gma's & Gpa's in Utah.  How much more excitement can you ask for!

We stayed for an entire week, got in lots and lots of relaxing, and of course ... did  WAY TOO MUCH eating.

Even our little elf Elfy, made the trip to Utah.  The ladies were so surprised to find him sitting on Gma & Gpa's mantel, when we first walked in their door.  He brought the kiddos their Christmas jammies the night before, so they could open their presents in style!

The kiddos left two plates of cookies, and two glasses of milk for Santa.  Also, Hannah left a carrot for the reindeer.  They must have been hungry because all was gone the next day:)

Some families take turns opening presents.  But not at the Seamons house, where it is all or nothing

Even Olivia's Jess got a little Christmas gift

Since we stayed for one week, we were able to get in a few other things besides just Christmas festivities.  We got to help celebrate Aunt Kim's birthday, and Cousin Austin's birthday.  We were able to meet up with my Cousin Merrick and his famillia, and do some major catching up with them.  We even got in a little ice skating.  And when I say we ... I mean everyone else got in some ice skating.  I had to sit on the sidelines this year, which wasn't quite the same. Next time people ... next time!

Miss Liv absolutely LOVED skating.  She did not want to be done when it was time to go

 Kim getting ready to do a little birthday bowling

  Hm mm ... what are these two up to?  Obviously, not bowling.

Cousin Austin's turned 3 on the 31st of December, so we went and lived it up Austin style this year for New Year's Eve.  We had a GREAT time!  The kids got to dress up in their best train gear, and played pin the number on the train.  Aunt Cameron had tons and tons of munchies, and even got a totally awesome Thomas The Train Cake.  Click here Cameron's blog ,for more party pictures and to see the awesome cake.  Some one's battery died in the camera during the party, and that someone was me

Hannah was the only one, who would wear the garb and doesn't she look fabulous!

 Olivia did great.  It could have been because she was lifting up her blindfold ha ha

 The birthday boy opening his presents, like a pro

We had a great Christmas this year!  Thanks to all you who helped celebrate!!

Hot Date With The Hubby

Chiki & I finally made it to watch Trans Siberian Orchestra, this year.  We have been wanting to go for years, but it has always been at a not so good time for us.   It was AWESOME, and we were definitely not disappointed.  The performers were great, and knew how to put on a good show!
