Day Trippin - Daddy's Day Out

So I can't really remember the last Saturday i have had off and I anticipate the one i have off the 3rd Saturday of February Yippee!! I do enjoy working my little part time job and the fact that daddy gets to have his daughter days. So this particular Saturday, the husband actually planned a daddy playdate...Ah-MAZE-ing!! i think the amazing part was that he actually planned get this a playdate near the ULTA that I was working at way down in Centennial...how perfect I mean how amazing he actually remembered where I was working to cleverly plan this...ok must give him more credit...I usually get this question when I have to work "Well, what should we do today?"

He and a friend from work who just happens to have a 4 year old girl ALSO could this story not get any better LOL and planned to meet up at Lollipop Park. This is an indoor amusement park for little ones. Perfect for going with a friend so they can ride the train, teacups, ferris wheel, etc.

This was actually the second time the husband took the girl there to play. The first time they went, again I had to work but perfect place for them to go while i do my little thing either down at Park Meadows mall or the ULTA down the street.

The two girls clicked and played oh so nicely...and yes I will brag, my child will open her arms out to another person and welcome her into her little world without any hesitation (ahhh she is just like her mama)

a very healthy 4 year old

We finally made it in for out wellness appointment...after first cancellation of the DR being sick, then a snowstorm hit and we couldn't get out of our drive way...we were only a month late...Since all the rescheduling we didn't get to see our regular DR but saw a new one at the office. He was a nice gentleman, tho she was a little shy as to be expected, but eased up and as a good patient let him examine her.




I couldn't remember the last time we had been to the doctor, but as soon as he started checking her ears it dawned on me the last time was when she had an ear infection wayyyy back in March. So happy we don't have to frequent the Dr's office and hope to continue that in 2012.

She is weighing in at a whopping 32.8lbs and has grown to 39" and hoping she will still get in free to waterworld this summer. She is growing and continuing to be the cutest thing ever in our eyes.

Flat Stanley

ahhh...just love winter break...its been jam packed and sad to see it come and go so quickly...today we had our outing with most of buddies...

We went to our local childrens theater in Arvada...they do an awesome job and the theater is just the perfect size for little ones. Can't wait for the next musical coming in January


We met for a little snack before the play at our favorite spot Panera...



and then on to the show...

Basketball Game AKA Carolyn's christmas party

So our good friends the proctors invited us along to the School of Mines and UCCS Women's and Men's Basketball Game/Office party. The girls had a great time shaking their little tooshes and of course the characters...they just can't get enough of them

Loves her gifts

Found this super cute coat...asked her to put it on...she was so hesitant you would have thought I was making her put on a pink bunny eared pajama's...tho I think she would have preferred that than the jacket...she still looks super cute

Merry Christmas

So excited to open all her presents...





all of her stash...


This year was a super easy Christmas...love that all she wanted was puzzles from Santa...warms my heart that she isn't fazed by commercials and didn't ask for princess stuff.

The Nutcracker

We went with all of our friends to the Nutcracker. Six 4 year olds 1 3 year old 6 moms 1 dad, and 1 grandma...

All the girls stayed awake and had me a little worried as they started getting antsy in the first act...but finally settled down and watched the entire ballet, I am amazed I didn't fall asleep...yes, I confess, I am a busy body and when I am in a dark theater I will most likely fall asleep...I stayed AWAKE!!

This is definately going to be a yearly tradition and now I have to sign this child up for ballet classes...she's been going since we got home
