3.23.09 - coda decided he no longer wanted to wear a pull-up to bed. i think he probably could have done this much sooner, but honestly we just didn't want to clean up wet sheets everynight. well, he made the decision to sleep in his under-roos and he did AWESOME.

3.24.09 - Tonight our care group was at Chris and Kristy's. It's great when it's there because they have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 year old son, so Coda loves it. This is the play house they have in the playroom. How awesome is this?!? Tonight we had a lot of kids because the pastor and his family came to check out our group and we talked our good friends brian and jessica to also join our group and bring their two little munchkins. I can say, it was a crazy house!!
3.25.09 - coda recently started spelling his name and other small words (hat, cat, hot, cold, dad, mom). it's really cool to see the way he progresses over time.
3.26.09 - our first day with cloth diapers. well, sorta. we just got one to try it out. i think we are going to buy more soon.

Saturday 3.6.09

Today, Zach and I went on a photoshoot. Kindra is about to have her 2nd baby girl. She was awesome to work with, along with her husband and cutie of a daughter. We headed up to Boulder for the session. It was supposed to snow today, but we got lucky and it was gorgeous. Stay tuned to the revert blog for a sneak peak. Hopefully coming soon. I was just going through them real quick and saw this image of Zach and knew it had to be my photo of the day!

getting behind...

i had a chance to sit down today and go through some of my photos. i know that i haven't gotten all of the days on here, but here are a bunch. enjoy. ~m

02.21.2009--

02.22.2009 -- zach is absolutely obsessed with girl scout cookies. we've already bought (and ate) four boxes of thin mints. i think i only got 2 (cookies, not boxes). i swear, zach can eat an entire box in one sitting! it's crazy.

02.23.2009 -- what's in your fridge??

02.25.2009 -- every wednesday is "wacky wednesday" at the church by our house. coda has been going for about a year. he loves it. he has so much fun. this week, zach went and taught the class.

02.26.2009 -- zach took these great shots of coda today to show how long his hair is getting and when i saw this one, i just had to put it next to this one of coda that i took at the hospital. i think it's so funny that they are yawning exactly the same, their heads are even tilted the same way!

02.27.2009 -- tonight was movie night at our church. we picked up some papa johns and headed over to eat some pizza and watch wall-e with some great families from our church. here's coda, sucking his thumb as always hanging on to his lion-pilly and boomba.

Monday 2.9.09

Monday after I got off work I was talking to grandma and grandpa and we decided to get on Skype. My sister had just gotten over to their house with Keira and Kameron, so we got to talk to them too. Skype is awesome because you can video chat completely free and since they live 2 states away, it's nice to be able to do that every once in awhile. Coda had to show him his Planet Heroes poster and build them a rocket. My mom of course had to take a picture of us on her computer too and put it on her blog.

--I haven't decided which photo I will use for my album. I might actually use both on the extended journaling card. --

Sunday 2/8/09

Sunday...Sunday...Sunday...

Sunday, Zach took Coda to the Monster Truck Jam, John and Kenzie went with. We thought it would be a fun thing to get done on the floor and see the trucks up close and personal so Zach had to get the Pit Party passes at the box office of the Pepsi Center. He went Friday before the event and it was awesome, because they just released some more tickets and he ended up getting front row so they got to see all the action really close! Some of Coda's favorite parts were the transformers that got into a fight, getting his checkered flag signed by all the drivers, and the ATV racing. It sounded like they had a lot of fun together. I love the shirt that Coda is wearing. It seemed so appropriate for the event. And I hear he got a lot of compliments on it.

week 6

Hello. I know, I have been a huge slacker on posting. But honest, I'm not behind and I haven't missed a day yet. ;) I'm going to post final layouts for the weeks that I missed, but here is week 6 (Feb 1-7) that I just got done doing tonight. I decided to go all digital this week. Let me know what you think. It's definitely more time consuming getting all of the type to line up correctly and look the way I want it, but I think it adds a whole different dimension to the album.

Final layouts...

Here are some images of my final layouts. I finished up all the details for weeks 1-3. As you can see I'm using the days of the week labels for my journaling and the clear letter stickers for my photos. I'm putting the clear stickers on a punched out colored paper to give them a bit more pop. Week 3, I used a yellowish color and think I like the bolder colors better. It's hard to read the white letter on the yellow paper. I really like my mix of 4x6 horizontal photos with the 3x4 vertical photos. I also think I have a good mix of computer generated journaling and handwriting. It's definitely easier to do the handwritten cards, but I think the computer print looks so much nicer! ;) Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Days 20, 21, 22, 23

This weekend the whole family went up to Keystone. It was so much fun. Zach's parents rented a house for the weekend and we all had fun playing games, eating some good food, and just being around each other. We all arrived on Friday night (us being the last to arrive, because I worked all day) and ate some dinner and then played Pop 5. Saturday the guys went snowboarding and the girls took Coda sledding and then to lunch and some shopping at the Outlets. We then all returned to the house for some good food and more games. The boys went to go play hockey at the outdoor skating rink and the rest of us played some wii. Sunday was the end of our fun weekend, so we grabbed a nice family group shot. We really had a great time! Thanks Bart and Kathy for all the FUN!!
