We are home and trying to get unpacked and acclimated to the HEAT! We had TONS of fun! I haven't uploaded pics from my camera yet, but here is a brief recap and a few phone pics:
Saturday: All day in the car! The babies were awesome, but Edee was ready for bed! Unfortunately, the key to the house was missing. We made a few phone calls and were able to get the situation remedied before we faced a complete Edee meltdown!
Sunday: 4th of July parade and gunfight at Frye's Old Town. Edee watched from above at the Kiker's and moved right along with the Native American dancers. We also hung out on Main St. with our friends, The Yates family, at their cool new lodge, Three Bears.
Monday: Up early to play on the playground, grab some pinon coffee and stroll through town. Eric and Edee took the Sami to Goose Lake! Edee wanted ice cream, so we had a little stroller ride after dinner and a bath. What a vacation treat!
Tuesday: Tubing at the ski area, lunch at the Lifthouse, and go-karts in the evening
Wednesday: Exploring another park and wandering through town to visit more friends along the way.
Thursday: Riding the new platinum chairlift! Edee was great for most of the way, but started screaming "I gotta get down" when we were riding above the steeps! We had lunch at the Lifthouse before big nap and dinner with the Kikers (see picture below)!
Friday: Big E and Jamas went to Taos to buy new tires for the trailer followed by downhill mountain biking in Angel Fire. They made the full tour of the Enchanted Circle! They couldn't pass up another opportunity at riding go-karts that evening, and Edee was thrilled to be part of the racing action!!
Saturday: Uncle Jamas, Eric and Edee took the Sami to Greenie Peak. Edee's jeans got a little wet, so the dudes wrapped her legs in a blanket and tied her jeans to the antenna to dry. They looked pretty silly driving up to the house! Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros played an awesome show Saturday night! Eric and I took shifts with Jamas while the other stayed home with the babies. It was a great night!
Sunday: I pushed the babies from one end of town to the other trying to soak up my last mountain morning, while also sweating out the night before! :-) The boys rode dirt bikes with local buddies, Rob and Linton, and I packed for the big trip home!
This was July 2009 at the Kiker's house. Who knew what the next year would bring?
And here we were this year with our new little man!
Eric and Edee had a BLAST on the tubing hill! They made several trips down the hill and up the little blue chairlift. They were both exhausted!
We were brave enough to take a BIG chairlift ride! Mommy and Daddy needed a beverage after the trip up with our little pink-headed wiggle worm!
Eric and Jamas appeared to have fun in Angel Fire judging from the amount of dirt on their gear!
I'll try to load some more pictues and video ASAP!
And so it begins...school projects! Edee's teacher sent home a small piece of posterboard for a "Getting to Know You" project. Daddy was WAY more involved than I was, I must admit! We printed out pictures and he cut them out, labeled them and arranged them on the board.
Here is the final product! He did such an awesome job!
Remember when I posted a picture about how much Reed HATED his swing?! Well, he also hated being swaddled, but when I walked in to feed him at school the first day, he was wrapped up tightly and sound asleep in a swing. He has even napped in his swing at home since he figured out that swings are cool! I'm not so good with the swaddle, as you can see! :-)
SOOOO, the four bottles on the left are the bottles that he has refused this week at school. The two on the right were purchased yesterday at Babies R Us and are supposedly the ones that stubborn breastfed babies will take.
