Randomness...

So nothing too exciting has happened this month, but I thought I would post some fun pictures of Mary... 

Mary wanted to play in her Elmo pj's and her tutu all day. It was really funny, especially since she's acted scared of her tutu in the past. She had a fun time!









I really had been wanting to take Mary on some bike rides, but I didn't have a trailer or seat for her. So, after some research and thinking I decided to get her a bike seat. Jake was sweet and helped me put it together. The first ride was okay, but the following rides were awesome. She LOVES it! And it's fun to be able to talk to her and hold her hand while we're riding. I'm so glad we got it!!!

We try and go to the library once a week for story time. There are these statues of two girls that Mary absolutely LOVES!!! She'll sit next to them, hug them, kiss them, talk to them, and hold their hands. It's really funny! But it does make it hard to get out of the library!





Mary's favorite food is pizza! She's so much like Jake sometimes!!! 

About 2 weeks ago Mary got the croup :( It was very sad to hear her cough and breath. The Dr said that cool air would be good for her. So we bundled her up and went for a drive with her windows down. She loved having the windows down and got mad at us when we rolled them us. She's all better now, thank goodness!!!

Our friends are letting us borrow their toddler bed for when Mary transitions to one. She loves playing with it. Her mean mom won't switch her to it until the middle of March, but she definitely knows what it's for!

We've had quite a bit of snow this week!!! Here is a picture of the first day. I like snow, just not on the roads...oh well!

Hope you all have a great day! Sorry, this was a rushed post!

BRONCOS!!!

We were lucky enough (thanks Dad and Mom Beckstead!) to go the Broncos playoff game. It was a lot  of fun!!! And FREEZING! But mostly fun!!!

Mary wanted to try on her Daddy's Bronco's hat. She's so darn cute!!!

This was right before all the fun started.

The horse lady!

These guys were cool. They sky dived so fast! 

LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!

I loved the HUGE flag!!!

The kick-off!

Go MANNING!

Although the game was disappointing it was still a blast to see and experience. This was my first NFL game. It was awesome!!!!!!!

Christmas from CO to UT and back!

Christmas time this year was a blast! We started out by going to the Beckstead's and opening presents there. Mary was given Elmo and Cookie Monster (her favorites!) from Uncle Kaden and Uncle Jared. They are still her favorite stuffed animals!

Mary had a great time opening presents. The book on the right is about potty training - awesome timing!

Jake got a new golf club. He was (and is) SOOOOO excited! I haven't seen that big of a smile on his face in a long time!!! He LOVES it! We received some great gifts from the Becksteads! I got an awesome jacket that I LOVE!!! I haven't had a real jacket since high school (I think).

On our way to Utah to visit my family. Mary has her favorite stuffed animals - Cookie, Elmo and Lizzy.

This snow globe would play music and the bottom of it moved. Mary was transfixed the whole time. She would beg for us to play it.

These little people played christmas music with bells. Mary LOVED them. 

Mary loves rocking chairs. She looked so cute. I got Mary a remote control car for Christmas. She had a great time chasing it while Jake controlled it.

This isn't the greatest picture of the rocking horse my parents made for Mary, but it's beautiful and she loves it! She rides it everyday still.

Here is the gingerbread house my mom made this year. She's great! Pictures of the inside follow...

Mary loved going in and looking at it. She thought it was cool!

We went and visited Jake's Grandparents and Mary had a great time!!! (Sorry Grandpa, not sure why I only got pictures of Grandma!) I love the wig! It cracks me up!!

Jake and I got to go snowboarding with Sam, Jeff and Emily - my niece and nephews. It was so much fun!!!

Mary has found a love for harmonicas, just like her Daddy. She thinks they are so fun!

We went to a store named Shields in Utah. It's an awesome sporting, clothing and just plan fun store. It had a fish tank (Mary's favorite), farris wheel and other fun stuff. It was really fun to walk around in.

We went to a Jazz game while we were there too. So much fun! Too bad they lost!

This was our attempt at getting a picture with my nieces and nephews...yeah didn't go so well...ha ha ha!

We also went to Temple Square. We got there just in time and Mary got a princess wand. She thought it was so fun!!! She loved all the lights and waving her want around.

She thought my sisters shoes were so fun. She's ready to go out.

Ok, so I finally found some other Christmas pictures so bare with me.

Christmas morning in their new pajamas - Elmo and Jazz.

Here's a better picture of the BEAUTIFUL horse!

Opening presents.

We bundled Mary up to go sledding while we were there.

Although I think she just liked eating the snow.

Here is her first run!

Notice the tongue?

She wanted to play on the toys more than sledding.

She loved bouncing on this ball the whole time we were there!!!

On the way home, I think she was tired!!!

WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS!!! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE IT WONDERFUL!!!

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

(sorry this was so long, I was a little picture happy!)
