A visit from Illinois

Grandma and Grandpa Petty came for a visit to enjoy Henry's 2nd birthday party (pictures to come in next post) and an early Christmas celebration. We had a great time at the Parade of Lights (before the Petty's arrived), opening Christmas gifts early (acting like dorks wearing the ribbons from our packages for pictures), checking out the Denver Botanic Gardens "Blossoms of Light", taking Henry to the Museum of Nature and Science and watching the Nuggets beat the Orlando Magic! It was a busy, whirlwind trip but everyone had a great time!

Rumple Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year! It was so much fun to dress Henry up for his first trick-or-treat outing! He was the perfect little golfer (except he made Mom carry his clubs...)
Jack and his cousin Molly were a superhero team - Super Man and Wonder Woman. Priceless.

Henry's first house for trick-or-treating!

Trying to get a good picture with Dad, but Henry is too interested in all of his candy.

Grandpa Val's Visit

Grandpa Val drove out to visit from Illinois for a few days. We had fun taking him to one of our favorite restaurants - the Lowry Tavern. Henry really seemed to enjoy spending time with his Grandpa.

Cory also enjoyed seeing his dad. They drove up to the Gunnison area with some other guys and went elk hunting. Much to my dismay, Cory was the lucky one of the trip and killed a big bull elk.

4 Years of Wedded...Something...

Last week Cory and I celebrated four years of wedded bliss... We enjoyed a nice dinner at Cuba Cuba for the occasion.

Oh, and I got my hair chopped off.

Henry's 1st Baseball Game

Henry's first baseball game, the Rockies vs. the Dodgers, was a great time. Cory grew up as a Dodgers fan, but I think Henry needs to like the Rockies and Cubs, too. Yes, he's a confused little boy! Soon enough he'll be old enough to pick his own favorite team. For this game, he wore his Dodgers shirt with his Rockies hat.

We had a great time!

Hunting Season Already?

Yep, looks like it's that time of the year again. Cory is preparing for a winter full of hunting. He just got his new duck blind and thought he'd introduce Henry to it. Trust me, this animal-loving PETA-supporting girl isn't too excited about any of this, but it is what he loves, so I'll support him. I just hope he doesn't actually kill anything...

QT with the Family in AZ

Henry and I went to Tucson to see Grandpa, Auntie Em, and the Sullivan's last week. We had a great time with everyone! Mary Kay and Terry took us all to Sabino Canyon - we rode the tram to the top and then on the way back down we got to play in the water. Henry loved it! We also celebrated Grandpa's 88th birthday while we were there. It was great playing in the pool and hanging out with the family.
