Elmo Live: When Elmo Grows Up.

On Sunday we went to Elmo Live: When Elmo Grows Up. I ordered the tickets almost 3 months ago and had really been looking forward to taking Tegan to the show. Tegan was not feeling good but he perked up as soon as the show started!

Tegan and Mommy.

Tegan had a blast at the show. He jumped up and down and clapped his hands the entire show.

The story line of the show was what do you want to be when you grow up. Here's Grover being a Police Officer.

Zoey!

We will definitely be going to the show next year. We all had so much fun!

Emma Lee's 1st Birthday!

This past Saturday we went to our good friend's Katie and Jon's little girls Emma Lee's 1st birthday party.

Emma Lee smiling big at everyone singing Happy Birthday to her.

It took her a few minutes but then she quickly got the hang of digging into her cake.

"All done."

Tegan had a blast playing and chasing all of the kids outside. He was very protective of his cupcake and for some reason thought he had to be all alone to eat it!

Our Busy Boy

Tegan has now been at his new daycare for over a week. The transition has gone exceptionally well. Surprisingly he only got sad one day on the third day when we dropped him off and has done great ever since! He is becoming busier ever day and extremely independent! (Which is tons of fun!) One cold and one shiner later he is doing wonderful! After his first few days he caught a cold...which we expected to happen.

Today when we picked him up he had a lovely black eye! I guess he was playing outside and got in too big of a hurry to go down the slide and ran into it. His teacher said he did not even cry...what a trooper.

We are so happy with his new daycare and Tegan loves it too!

First Day of Big Boy School

So I have to admit I have been a little behind on posting pictures for the past two weeks. We have been incredibly busy but have still bee taking lots of pictures! So sorry for the many posts today. We also have made a very big decision over the past two weeks. Tegan has been attending the same home daycare since he was 3 months old. After lots of discussion and looking at new places we decided it was time for him to transition to a learning center.

He is now a proud student of The Academy of Developmental Learning Center. He had his first day of "Big Boy School" on Monday the 7th. We had taken him a few weeks ago for a 2 hour visit and he did great but we were still a little nervous how he would do for his first real day. We have been making a big deal about his new "Big Boy School." He went this weekend and picked out his own Spiderman lunch box and was super excited! When we dropped him off he just gave us both a hug and a kiss and was off to play.

Even though this transition has gone well so far I have to admit I was a little sad he did not want his mommy a little more!

Nuggets Game

On Saturday evening Tegan spent the night at my parents house!Stacy and I had originally planned to just hang out and have a quite evening.One of his friends from work called and offered us Club Level tickets to the Nuggets game. So we decided to take advantage of the offer and go to the game. We had a blast!

The half time show was awesome! As you can tell by the picture below the Marines put on the half time show and it was very entertaining.

Stacy and his signiture pose!

My Turn.

Swimming Lessons

Tegan started swimming lessons this Saturday at the Apex Center. It is a parent and tot class and I am the lucky one to get in the pool with him. He did such a good job waiting for his lesson to start.

"How much longer?"

Tegan got a little bored waiting so he decided that he should play in the water for a bit. We were surprised how brave he was this time. Typically he wants us to walk into the water with him but this time he just took off by himself.

Practicing his front float and paddling with his hands.

"Hey Dad!"

One, Two, Three...JUMP!

Tegan did really good job holding himself up with the wall.

Tegan thought the alligator crawl and blowing bubbles in the water was pretty funny!

Tegan had a wonderful first lesson. I was surprised at how well he did and he even followed directions great. We can not wait for next week!

Stacy's 28th Birthday

Stacy's 28th birthday was on April 2nd. We had a great week of celebrating. My parents came over and surprised Stacy with a new mailbox. They were able to get it put together without waking him up (Since he was sleeping due to working the night shift.) My mom had put tons of ballons on the mailbox but I did not get a picture because Stacy took them down before I got home.

Birthday Celebration at Stacy's Mom's House

On Sunday the 30th we went to Stacy's mom's house to celebrate his birthday with his mom, Matthew and Ashlee. Tegan and Matthew had a Easter Egg Hunt when we first got there. Tegan is getting pretty good at finding the eggs.

Happy 28th Birthday Stacy!

Tegan always has so much fun playing with Matthew!

Poker Night

On Saturday the 29th we had some friends over for a "get together/poker party" to celebrate Stacy's birthday. It is always so much fun to get together with everyone! Our good friend Dave's brother and girlfriend just moved to Colorado and brought there son Logan over to play with Tegan. Tegan had a blast playing with Logan.

I tried to be really creative with Stacy's birthday present this year. I had ordered it in January and received it almost a week before his poker party. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not good with surprises! It was so hard to keep it from him as long as I did. I decided to let him open it a little early and of course Tegan had to help him open it!

I ordered this plate from a man in Nebraska who custom makes them for police officers. It was a difficult process because I had to send him pictures of Stacy's badge..which none of them came out. So I ended up video taping the badge and finally it worked! Everything on the plate is hand carved out of wood or ivory. Stacy was very surprised and loved it! You can see all of the details if you click on the picture.

My hunny and I!

The guys were nice enough to pose for a picture.

Visit from Amy

Last week my good friend Amy came to Colorado for a visit. She has been in the Navy for over a year and most recently was been based in Pensacola, Florida. (If you can not tell she has a MUCH better tan than I do right now!) She got a 2 week leave and is now on her way to Maryland for two years. It was so good to get together for dinner and catch up!

Tegan the Climber

Tegan has always been a climber. He climbs on top of the couches, the counters, tables and pretty much anywhere he can get to before we see and make him get down. It is starting to get a little scary. The other day I opened the back door for Tegan to go outside, grabbed my camera because he was going to ride his bike. The second I looked outside he had already made it up the tree house ladder!

Of course I had to take one picture before I ran and got him down!

I did not realize baby gates stopped being effective this early!
