Mother's Day @ Gmommy/Gdaddy's House!

Elsie Anne giving me BIG smiles + saying Happy Momma's Day! She dressed up for the occasion... in her pretty green dress Memere got her while she was staying w/ us in Breckenridge!

Fraser family photo out by the dock. EA couldn't get enough of watching the waves roll in, she was mesmerized!
3 generations! So special sharing Mother's Day w/ my Mom + Grandmommy!

Busy Day... in Tally!

Our busy day started w/ meeting Anna (one of my best college girlfriends) + her daughter Ava @ Lake Ella! They were in town for her brother's Law School Graduation. Our visits are never long, but so worth the effort! It feels good to have girlfriends that you can pick up where you left off! Our babes were over it, Ava was ready for a nap, + EA was ready to eat!!

We then went to my cousin, Caroline Wiess', baby shower! She is expecting twin boys!!!! It was fun to see her open 2 of everything... incredible to think there are 2 babies in her belly... she looks amazing! EA got to meet her Great Grandmommy (rt) for the first time! She had met her Great BumBum (lft) on Friday @ the playdate! I love all the turquoise in this pic!

Babies, Babies, Babies!!! in Tally!

Our first day home, I had planned a play-date w/ all my girlfriends + their new babes! It was so much fun catching up w/ everyone + introducing the babies to each other! (L-R: Kirsten + Thatcher, Katherine + Everett, Brittney + Regan, Meghan + Harrison, me + EA, Jennifer + Kaley, Kimberly + Jack, NOT PICTURED: Jill, Kent + Lilly, Kristin + Hudson, Sam + Chandler, Carrie McNiell)

Brace is Gone For Good!

We saw Dr. Sink, the specialist, again today! He went over all the ultrasounds, + the new one from today, and said that Elsie Anne's are 100% healed! We couldn't be happier for her! Thanks to everyone who has been praying for her + sending us well wishes! He has truly blessed us w/ a miracle!

Laura Leaves :(

This morning we had to take Laura to the airport. Shawn, Elsie Anne, Laura + myself were out the door @ 7:15am... pretty impressive for us!! We had a fun ride... had Burger King for breakfast, chatted + watched EA sleep the whole way there. It was sad to hug Laura bye, but we had such a special weekend together! She + EA really bonded... so neat to watch as EA studies + learns new faces! They shared plenty of chats, hugs + smiles... we can't wait for September when we get to see Aunt Laura again!

After we dropped her off, we ran some errands for Shawn's work, then walked around the outdoor mall! Elsie Anne loved being held + cuddled the whole time... the weather was gorgeous! Shawn + I enjoyed each other's company + time together! It's been weeks since he's had time to slow down, + hang w/ us. Thank goodness his job is almost finished! Our Mother's Day vacation is going to be just what he needs to relax + rejuvinate!

I'm hoping to get a lot accomplished tomorrow... playdate @ rec center in the am, finish the laundry for our trip, clean the house, cook dinner for our friends that are moving + coming to our house tomorrow nite for the last time :(

A-Basin Birthday Bash!!

Shawn's birthday party was a success... EA did wonderful in the winter weather! It was mostly cloudy w/ a few breaks of sun, + it snowed a few times... but it didn't phase EA! She took a 1 1/2hr nap in the back seat of Shawn's truck! Shawn, Jeff + Paige went up on the mountain, but Laura + I hung out @ the truck. I thought I might ski, but the weather detered me. It's pretty amazing what you can do w/ an infant, + how much more fun they make everything :)

Saturday on the Couch!!

YAY... Daddy's home!!! Girls day on the couch... we watched 'girly movie' after 'girly movie'!!! "The Lakehouse", "Catch and Release", + "The Notebook" took up our entire day! Elsie Anne loved it too... she was so relaxed + kept us entertained while she was awake. She found her tongue + was clicking it all day long. She loved watching us do it back to her! She took a 2 1/2hr nap, nursed + then an 1hr nap right after that! We all loved our restful day! I really wish Shawn could have joined us... he's been working 12-18hr days lately + is so exhausted! We hope he's finished tonite!

Laura + I are making spaghetti, texas toast, + a yummy salad for dinner tonite. We are also making a 'Better than Sex Chocolate Pie' for Shawn's birthday party tomorrow! Can't wait to lick the bowl, uummmm!

Laurie's Nursing School Graduation!!

We went for a nice long walk around Lake Dillon this morning, got some groceries + then home for a nap! We all slept for almost 2hrs...thanks Els for taking a long nap!!! We got ready for Laurie's Graduation Dinner, took Shawn some delicious sandwichs Laura made @ his work, + then met the Andrews for dinner. It was so nice to see all of them... Elsie Anne dressed up for the occasion + Laurie loved it!!
