Children's museum part 2

Dustin and I took Carter to the Children's Museum again today. He had a great time again and enjoyed his time everywhere. This time, we took him upstairs where the carousal is. Although we didn't ride on it, he had a great time dancing by it. If you know Mr. Bubba J, you know he can cut a rug. He never will let me record him, but I was able to catch him today. Enjoy!

Children's Museum

While my mom was in town we decided to go and check out the Omaha Children's Museum. While Carter is still too young to really "get" a lot of it, he had a great time! He was able to run through the grocery store, play at the water table, go several time down the slide, have a ball in the ball room (haha, I know), and make mom and I look silly chasing him through the small tunnels. We just might have to get a membership to this awesome place!

Colorado Christmas 09

When we were finally able to get out of our driveway we headed out to visit family. After a VERY long drive to CO, we visited my family. We had a relaxing time and were able to do some different things with Carter J.


Off to visit Fishcreek falls.

Even though it was freezing and snowing, the water was flowing. Carter loves to watch moving water.

The best family picture we could get on our own.

Hiking with Dad.

Hanging out at the library.

Checking out the computer.

Maybe I'll check out a book.

Hanging out in the bean bags. This library is so neat. It is made to run around and play in. Great for cold winter days!

In the end the library wore him out! :)

Snow day!

It snowed for about three days straight. We were stuck inside because of this:





So, what is a one year old to do?

1. Read my new books


2. Take all of the towels and bibs out of the kitchen drawer.


3. Then play peek a boo

4. Redecorate the tree

5. Relax :)

Merry Christmas!

The weather outside was frightful (due to the six foot snow drifts!), but we had a great second Christmas with Bubby.


What is going on?!?


Hmmm . . . what is in here?


For me?

Let's check this out . . .

Tape is way cooler than my presents!

Blizzard 09

SO, much to my chagrin, we have had a blizzard in Nebraska. It snowed about 10 inches and then the wind has blown it around like crazy. It is freezing and we are stuck in the house. We got out yesterday before it was too bad, but the roads are pretty awful now. Carter keeps running to the back door, banging on it, and saying "buh buh" and waving bye bye. Poor guy . . . He LOVED watching it snow and swirl around. He did NOT love the snow when we took him out in it yesterday (maybe because he took a nose dive off his sled face first into it . . .) We took some cool pictures of the huge drifts and D's handy work shoveling.

Off to the Christmas Tree Farm

Saturday afternoon we took a trip to the Prairie Pines Plantation in Ashland, NE for our first family trip to the Christmas tree farm. Although Carter J was a little unsure and didn't want to run around we had a nice time. The farm provided us with a wagon to truck him along in and then we found some bells to play with while we were waiting for them to load it. When we got home Dustin had to go get some new lights that wouldn't burn Bubba's fingers. Carter is fasinated by the lights!
