I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am always surprised that my tomboy self is raising a serious girly-girl. Anna loves pink! Everything must be pink! From her clothes, to her shoes, to her snack and the cookies that she gets at the store – it all must be pink!
The other day [...]
Our mostly sweet, but sometimes temperamental Anna, has been pretty busy lately. Along with keeping up a schedule of music class, school, and tumbling class, she’s also been doing lots of fun summer activities.
A few weeks ago Anna’s cousin Brendan came over to play. He came with a large pitcher and some freshly squeezed lemon [...]
Okay, so it’s really not Anna’s first day of actual school, but it’s a school-like activity…
Today was Anna’s first day of pre-pre-school! This summer I signed her up for a class called “Two Times the Fun” for 2-3 year olds. Anna attends on Wednesdays for an hour and the class description clearly states, “Parents do [...]
Many times a day I refer to my beloved Anna as “The Empress”. Part of the um, “joy” of her being two is a very “I am the boss” attitude. On a moment’s notice Anna will decide that I’m doing something she doesn’t like and feel the need to order me around. Phrases such as, [...]
Just in case you didn’t think that Denver was at it’s heart a cow town, the annual Stock Show is in town this week. Apparently the Stock Show has been going on since the late 1800’s and for the past few decades it has featured rodeos, mutton-busting for the kids and the usual livestock auctions [...]
Yay! Our first family update of 2010!
As always, let’s start with the cutie. Currently, the cutie is sick and cranky. Wednesday night Anna woke up crying 6 times, probably due to the fever of 102 that she had. Thursday I took her to the doctor where they said her throat looked red and icky – [...]
Anna and I had a busy week last week, but I took lots of pictures, so I can write about it here.
First, Anna had her first haircut last Saturday. I took her to a special kids’ salon where they have special riding toys for the kids to sit on during the haircut. Anna picked out [...]

Anna has discovered that our quilt rack, which is normally covered with blankets and afghans, is a great place to climb up and practice her parallel bars skills. Amusingly, while she does this, she normally yells out “climbing!”, which is a nice little warning to me to stop whatever I’m doing and race over to [...]
As some of you may or may not know, Mike was once a semi-pro skateboarder. He doesn’t roll out the skateboard very much anymore, but recently while we were all playing in the driveway he got the board out to show Anna some of Daddy’s tricks.
Of course, upon seeing her father doing such a cool [...]
