Dash loves his Daddy. No matter how much I try to convince him that he's a mommy's boy, he has this undeniable connection with Jake...
Can Jen come out and play?

Fun With Jen & Kaylee
19 February 2010
My big sister Jen and her youngest daughter Kaylee came to visit to celebrate all 3 of our February birthdays. It was sooo much fun to spend time with them and to see Dash fall in love with Kaylee. Kaylee is an archeology and dinosaur GENIUS so we spent a lot of time at museums. They're so wonderful, I wish I could see them all the time.

On our way to find good sledding hills...
We didn't look far, the golf course behind our neighborhood was the perfect spot!
Help for a family friend
09 January 2010
A family friend of ours, Garth Abbott, needs life saving cancer treatments and is uninsured. He has a super aggressive form of breast cancer and doesn't have much time to raise the $105,000 needed for his treatments. His family is doing an online auction for him so if you have services to donate or would like to bid - go here!

Denver Zoo
03 January 2010
Jake has been traveling to Utah almost every week so my mom, Dash, & I checked out the Denver Zoo. Of all the animals, Dash was most excited about the geese that flew down to drink from the polar bear pond : )
Christmas in our new house!
26 December 2009
It was our first Christmas in our new house and it was fantastic! Jake was in charge of Christmas lunch and all I can say is YUM! It was super nice to have my mom living with us and join us as well. We all opened gifts and just enjoyed each others company and the spirit of Christmas. We really do have SO much to be grateful for this year, especially our faith and family.
I think Jake and Dash woke up at 6am ready to open gifts but I wouldn't get out of bed until 7:30.
These two are true bffs.
This is just ridiculous.
Dash's favorite gift, he's a natural.
All worn out and on his favorite sleeping spot - a big stuffed sheep from Grandpa Lewis.
A Slim Fast for Amy
14 December 2009
My good friend and former college roomie Amy came for a visit last week. The first thing Dash did when she got here was go to the cupboard and hand her a slim fast - haha. We didn't teach him that, he came up with that one on his own. Good thing she's the last person to need a diet!
Thanksgiving kisses
26 November 2009
Dash met his Uncle Jared, his Uncle Joe, his Aunt Jen and his cousin Emory on his Daddy's side for the first time at Thanksgiving. He just fell in love with Emory - luckily we caught it on video : )
Halloween Wild Thing
26 October 2009
So, I attempted to sew something and I thought it would be easy but a Halloween costume is probably not the best time to learn how to use a pattern! It kind of took me forever but, with tons of encouragement from Jake, it turned out great - thanks to our handsome son : ) Our inspiration was the book Where the Wild Things Are. 
He wanted to carry his "I see a monster" book with him all night.
