The Stock Show
It’s a yearly tradition my Dad started when we were
kids. We went to the National Western
Stock Show and Rodeo every year and it was such a big deal. We all loved
it! It comes every January for about 3
weeks. There was no way Josie was going
to sit through a two hour rodeo, so we took her to the stock show which was a
lot of fun!
We first hit the Petting Farm and she was a little hesitant
at first. The animals were as tall or
taller than she was. Once she saw the “quack,
quacks” she was fine and didn’t want to leave.
Then we headed over to the cow barn and it was hilarious! There are rows
and rows of cows being groomed for showing or sale. These are the most gussied up cows you’ve
ever see. Anyway, Josie “mooed” the
entire time we were in the cow barn.
Hilarious!

Snow angles with Aunt Kelly
We have had a crazy amount of snow in Denver this year. I was not feeling well and Josie was dying to
get out in the snow. Thankfully
Aunt Kelly lives about 5 minutes away and came over for a little playing in the
snow with Josie.

Catching up...the Holidays
Here it is the beginning of March and I feel so behind in my blogging.
No pressure from anyone but myself of course. Three months of our life to
post which will be condensed because there wasn't a lot of action or pictures, thanks to a hellish first trimester.
So...While I love the holidays and everything that comes with it, baking, parties, family and friends...I was far from festive. I didn't bake a single thing, although I did attempt and then ended up throwing the cookie dough away. I attended Kyle's company party which was really nice. The pictures are pretty sparse…

Snow Day
We're on the tail end of a HUGE snow storm Denver. Pretty much everything closed because of the sheer amount of snow we were predicted to get. Right now we're sitting on nearly two feet...and it's still snowing!
 |
| "oh, mama, my hands are cold" |
 |
| "mama, really cold" |
 |
| "Ah, help, freezing" |

You'll have to excuse my blogging break...this little orange has been turning my stomach upside down for the last three months!
There you have it...the big announcement. Baby S will be arriving in July and we couldn't be more excited. It was a rough few months of morning, noon, evening, up all night sickness. Whoever deemed it "morning sickness" was WRONG! My amazing husband held the fort down, working all day, cooking, cleaning and playing with Josie while I felt like the "flu" was never going away. The crazy part is that I had a perfect pregnancy with Josie, not a day of morning sickness, heartburn, constipation, etc. I felt awesome the entire pregnancy. Oh, was I in for a rude awakening on November 27th, the first day of "oh my gosh, I'm going to throw up". I thought I was coming down with something....yeah, a pregnancy something. Now I completely understand what millions of women have experienced. So...of course I think it's a boy, because this is COMPLETELY opposite of what I experienced with Josie. Who knows, Kyle is NOT on the boy wagon, but we'll know soon enough. I'm 15 weeks and in 5 more weeks we'll be finding out if this little one is a boy or girl.
Last March we got pregnant and then miscarried in April. It was stunning when we were at the Doctor's office and she said there wasn't a heartbeat. WOW! There isn't a word to describe the feeling of hearing that news. I was 9 weeks and the baby was measuring 6 weeks. After a D and C and a few days of total shock, I came to realize that little one wasn't meant to be in our life. Needless to say, this was a very plotted pregnancy and we are so blessed that everything is going well.
I will get caught up on the few things that happened in November, December and January and the even fewer pictures that were taken. And now that I'm feeling better, you should see more regular posts of my little girl who is getting so big! Well maybe not big in physical size, but big in learning new things.
