Catch-Up/Catch-All

Christmas break was awesome! We did so much in hindsight and it flew by.

These are in no way chronological order or anything, but here are some snapshots of what has been going on around here.

I took my little posers to the downtown aquarium.

Jack!

Warren got to go to the Bronco's game last night with his Dad and some neighbor friends.  Note his seat number ;)  Getting season tickets was one of our better moves recently!

Boys got right to work excavating away on one of Jack's birthday presents from his cool birthday party at Young Chef's Academy on Saturday.  My next post will be of his actual party, promise!


Spent some of the holidays missing family like my beautiful mom and sis.

True Fan!  This is what he does during most of the games...


We stayed on track eating lots and lots of healthy foods during Christmas break!

Yum!

 
Shoveling in plain quinoa, one of his favorite foods aside from pistachios, yogurt, and cherry tomatoes!

I loved seeing Warren with his nose in a book over the break.

Of course we had to see the latest Chipmunk movie, we've seen them all!

Oh, there's Nolan!

Most days, when we didn't have an outing planned, like the butterfly pavilion or something, the boys would build elaborate race tracks and entertain themselves most of the day.

Goes without saying that we stayed true to our tradition of visiting Bass Pro Shop right before Christmas.

Nolan is officially DONE potty training!  And so so so ready for preschool.  Got him all registered to start in August!

He loves Rio and calls this his Rio bird.


Bryan installed one of my Christmas gifts in my laundry room utility sink.  We are calling this Luke's spa...considering it will be a while before he can join the big dogs in the real bath tub.

Took the kids and neighbor girls to Little Monkey Bizness.  So fun!

This was at 18 weeks and I am now 20 weeks!  Without fail, every time Nolan sees this pic (he is constantly thumbing through my iPhone pics) he says "mommy is too fat!"

While the cat's away...each big boy took a turn visiting Grandma Caryl in Pueblo, and while they were gone Nolan would totally get into all their new toys that were "off limits."

We had to visit Chuck E. Cheese, which Nolan cannot seem to stop calling Mac n cheese.

This was Warren's activity choice and he loved it.

Speaking of Warren, I started working on Algebra with him the other day.  He is a math whiz kid and is taking to it like a fish to water, thanks in part to this great book I found at the library.

We got rid of cable officially!  Have been toying with the idea for ages and had scaled back our package to bare minimum for months.  Gone!  No one misses it in the least.  And the antenna in our window adds a nice homey touch, don't you think? :) 

We got a new toy storage thing in our living room from one of our awesome neighbors and Jack now says our living room looks like the gift shop at the Children's Museum. Yes, I suppose it is very apparent that LOTS of kids live here.

It took a while, but this was the last Christmas gift to finally get opened (oh wait, we still haven't opened Warren's new microscope!) and Jack and I spent nearly two hours building and building this motorized sea monster made of gears with 115 pieces.  Whew!

That's all!  Stay tuned for Jack's birthday party run down!
