Keystone is closed, Breckenridge and Copper closed last weekend. Abasin is still open.  Last weekend all 3 of us went to Breckenridge for closing day.  We took turns riding, while Casey played in the snow and watched all the skiers and snowboarders.  That afternoon, we headed to Copper Mountain for their end of the season free concerts.

We started a new session of tumbling on Thursday.  Casey is definitely becoming more independent.  She can hang from the bar and lift her feet all the way to the bar by herself.  In the last tumbling session, Casey was not a big fan of the parachute.  This time, she was the first one to run onto the parachute and had a blast dancing under it. Looking forward to her learning to do a somersault all by herself.

Friday, Sarah and I took the girls to Abasin to go skiing.  It was a little snowy, but warm enough.  They lasted a good 20 minutes and seemed to enjoy themselves.  This was our trial for the girls' birthday party coming up this weekend at Abasin.  Hoping for a beautiful day.

Saturday, Aunt Kel came up for a quick visit. We got tons of snow so me and Kel went to Abasin to snowboard in the Pow. Good Times. That night, Stan took me out to an early birthday dinner, while Casey got to play over at Rowan's. Other than that, it was a pretty quiet weekend.

Enjoy the pix.

Casey is much better with Frisco nowadays...she always asks Frisco if she wants to watch Dora with her, she lets her in the rooms now, instead of slamming the door on her, she feeds her most mornings after saying, "mornin frisco."

Oh, and she's very into being naked lately.  She gets so excited when we go upstairs after her bath, she wiggles out of my arms and out of her towel when we get into her room and starts running around crazy.  When she does have clothes on, she tries to pull them off.  Thanks goodness she can't really do it just yet.

Strep 2

Casey just wasn't herself this weekend, so we took her to the Doc on Monday and found out that she has strep again.  She had it 3 weeks ago for the first time.  They put her on a relative of Amoxicilan (not as good), so hopefully she'll be back to herself in no time.  At the moment, it's 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday and she has been talking and singing in her bed for the last 45 minutes.  Not sure what that's all about!

She hasn't been eating that great lately.  Especially dinners.  So she wakes up in the morning starving. 

Every week she has something new for Daddy when he gets home.  Mostly new words or phrases.  Her latest is "Look at me!"  Usually said when she is doing something funny...or at least funny in her eyes.  She has started to say "bye bye" to everything when we leave a room, or leave the house..."bye bye song, bye bye diapers, bye bye books." 

We got out Casey's sand and water table this week and she has had so much fun playing with the sand...too cold for water right now.  She runs over to the sliding door and points to it, "i want play with sand." 

Saturday night we went to Keystone to celebrate their closing weekend (yes we are sad snowboard season is coming to an end).  Casey and her friend Isaac had a blast dancing to the band, Seven Mary Three. 

Casey would like to wish her Grandpa a very Happy Birthday on Wednesday!!  We're hoping a bird will be living in the birdhouse we got you by the time we come visit the Lake in July!

Easter

The Easter Bunny was good to Casey. She spent the morning at Keystone. Her first gondola ride up to the top of the mountain. She loved it! Aunt Kel arrived later to enjoy Easter dinner and to help Casey hunt for eggs. Casey had a great time and was very good at searching for eggs around the house. She was into all of her Easter treats and wanted to eat every piece of chocolate she could get her hands on...she was a little wired when it was time for bed.

The rest of the week...
As we left daycare on Wednesday, I told Casey to say bye bye to everyone...Casey, "bye bye everyone, bye bye Hunter, bye bye Jack, bye bye Deliah." First time she said her friend's names.  Every week she is amazing us with new words and sentences.  We have to be careful what we say now...she is a parrot! In the car, she will hear a song and repeat the words.  She also told me, "no sing mommy," today in the car...how rude!

Thursday, Rowan, Sarah, Casey and I went to Kidtopia at Keystone.  Sounds more exciting than it was. But the girls got to play on the playground, which mainly consisted of going down the slide, over and over and over, etc.  They also made bunny visors.  We then headed to Denver for my monthly book club meeting.  Casey got to play with Kaelin and Graham, our friends Geoff and Sarah's kids.  Geoff, Sarah, Kaelin and Graham came up to the mountains Friday, so Casey got to share her toys with them.  She is definitely still learning to share, and she's not so sure about a 1 year old wandering around.  She would cry or say "mine" whenever he got close. 

Hope you enjoy the pix.
