March Madness

Here in Colorado March was full of beautiful warm weather, so we took advantage of it. (Sorry for the over-load of photos)

Pretty soon here I will have a dedicated "Mama Day" post but there is a group of about 6ish new stay-at-home moms (give or take a couple) who get together once a week and do cool things like this: Hike.

Or we do lunch, or craft, or all of those things. It's been fun to discuss our baby woes, and realize that you're not the only one who hangs out in PJ's all day when you only have one baby. :)


As I was looking thru our month of March pictures I realized that the majority of them featured the other Foulgers. Kevin and Kinzie Foulger went to Utah State where Porter and I knew Kevin but more recently met Kinzie when they moved to Colorado about a year ago. They have an adorable little guy Calum who turned 1 in March. Kevin learned that he and Porter share the same Great Great Great Grandfather. So we figure it's still cool if our babies want to make their own babies together someday.

Kinzie threw Calum a "monster" theamed B-day bash.


Here is another one of Aimsley's boyfriends: Thomas...Here they are, just enjoying the party. I love these pictures. Aimsley obviously looks awesome in this one.


Just as awesome as Tommy looks in this one. Aimsley was way into this stink face for a couple months. It's Porter's fave.


They are buddies.



Here are the babes; racing their "monster-trucks" Aimsley was a wreck and didn't enjoy her ride too much.


Nothin' a little cake pop couldn't fix.


We went on a St. Patties Day hike. Oh Indo, always showing off his back-side.



Sleepy Baby.


Our biggest March Adventure was a last-minute-conference-weekend-camping-trip. Knowing the other Foulgers are always up for an adventure; the tin foil dinners were made, wood was chopped, Pack n' Plays packed, 80 degree weather was still on, and we were A GO. (SOOOO much more packing with a child...wow.) But the babes loved the great out-doors.


We went on a sunset bikeride once we got camp set up...and the little ones shared a romantic trailer-ride.




Besides a small wimper when Daddy had to get up and go to the bathroom at 3AM, Aims slept like a champ and enjoyed her breakfast beside an early morning camp-fire.



Happy Campers.




After Breakfast we went on another scenic bike ride around the lake. Not too much makes Aimsley upset, but she did NOT enjoy her bike-ride. Sure made for an enjoyable ride for adults. Or not.




But someone did enjoy her hike in her backpack though. Love that little face,




Thanks for the fun, Foulger-filled March Foulgers!

Birthday Girl

Our baby turned 6 months on February 24th. Six months...what!? I know, I know, everyone says it, but it literally flew by. She has been the best, happiest, giggling, babbling, bald, beautiful baby. I think I can say with confidence that she knows and loves her momma...maybe sometimes too much. But I love that she can somewhat now reciprocate the overload of love that we give to her. With out question it has been the best 6 months of our lives thanks to this little lady.



Big baby belly after dinner.



Favorite photo of the moment.


Happy Half Birthday Baby, we love you. xoxoxo

FOOOD

In February Aimsley had rice cereal for the first time. I'm guessing this is only an exciting event for baby #1....cause it''s really not as exciting as the first time parent thinks it should be. The real fun comes when they are eating colorful foods and trying to feed themselves. And rest assured we have plenty of those shots. But here she is eating and loving her cereal, it was really adorable to watch.



For some reason i think she enjoyed this meal a little more. We did it solely for the photos.


I'm getting sick of our polkadot highchair being in so many pictures but who could not take pictures of that face!?!?

V-Day 2012

We had a wonderful evening-in this Valentines Day, and as the wonderful wife that I am I made Porter's favorite meal of steak and garlic mashed potatoes, and my favorite dessert; home-made lemon bars.



With our new darling babe this year, I think it's safe to say that she may have stolen the show. Valentine's Day might not have been as romantic as our past V-days....But I don't think we minded much.





She was obviously really excited about her gifts.




Here's to Love. Xoxox

Superbowl

The Superbowl had a few more fans this year.



Aimsley and her boyfriends, relaxing, taking in the game.

Our Valentine...

I think I could watch this all day.

Welcome 2012

Always a sad day when the holidays come to an end and it's back to work and school. But the best part of the new year has been that Porter only has 3 classes (a nice break from 4) and 2 of them are online, so I no longer feel like a single mom! It is so nice to have him around more often...but I'm not sure he feels the same with me trying to sneak off to the gym every other night while daddy babysits. :)

But have I mentioned that this chick loves her Daddy??


Well she does.


January brought some new tricks for baby... I decided to try and sit her up for one of the first times, just to see what she'd do...then this happened.

She made me feel like a bad mom never removing her from her swing or exersaucer, or bumbo, or seat, or jumper :)))



I think this girl came standing right out of the womb, so naturally she loves this one. Porter even called her "sturdy" the other night. (On a side note I may have been called that a time or two growing up...mom, cough, cough. it's kinda a family joke.) So he was surprised when i lashed out at him and yelled to NEVER call her "sturdy" again!

We got a big snowstorm and knew Aims was dying to get out and play in the snow of course.




Look at our cute Babies :) Don't mind that a few short seconds after this pic was taken Indo chased after a dog and dropped Aimsley flat on the snow...she didn't mind.
