Our sweetest Chandler Rose at 4 months

Chandler is four months and sweet girl is getting a little personality on her!  Here is what our baby is up to at four months young!!

*She is all smiles, all the time!  It doesn't take much to get this beauty to smile, all you have to do is look at her and her big blue eyes just light up and smiles!
*She continues to "talk" more and more making happy sounds and shrieks
*She started rolling over from back to stomach.  She was already rolling from stomach to back and now that she is going both ways she is just a little roly poly and never in the same spot where we left her!  Sometimes she gets frustrated because she has a little arm stuck beneath her and needs a little help.
*I wish I could say that her sleep habits have improved, however they have not!  I nurse her at 8:15ish and she goes down around 9, wakes up between 11:30-12:30 and I give her the paci once or twice, then she wakes again between 1:30-2:30 for a feeding and then again between 4:30 and 5:30 for another feeding..Definitely looking forward to longer stretches of sleep hopefully in our future!
*Chandler still takes four naps a day.  We tried cutting the evening nap only resulting in an overtired girl that was difficult to put down for the night.  She naps at about 10:00, 1:00, 4:00, and a short nap at 7:00
She is really trying to find some fingers to suck, we are hoping she gets the hang of it soon!!! 
Brayden is really taken with Chandler and is just so sweet with her.  He uses the softest, sweetest voice when talking to her and tells her things like:  "I'll protect you Chandler" :)
 You know I love to watch these precious babes sleep!


We are about done with the swaddle....its amazing how she can houdini herself out of this thing!

It was so funny to pick Chandler up from the kids club at the gym and see her swinging with baby Faith :)


SWEET happy girl is just so proud of her new skills!


CHEESE!

And still the hair just won't lay down....not getting any better around here!

I always love her sweet peaceful face when she is finished nursing, just full and content and perfect

Love this one of my girls!  Sterling always wants to lay with Chandler when she is laying around on the floor she just doesn't quite understand the meaning of gentle yet!
Just love this happy little girl!

Breckenridge 2015

Wow, what an AMAZING trip we had to Colorado this year!  I didn't realize how many pictures we had taken until I started this blog post, geesh!  Lots of firsts this year:

*Chandlers first plane ride
*Sterlings first time to play in the snow!
*Braydens first time snowboarding!

We had a fun filled and action packed trip, here are just a few pics :)

Bags are packed and ready to go, at the airport!  Brian and I are clearly outnumbered so luckily we had Aunt Christi there to help us out on the plane ride there.  GaGa and PaPa had most of our luggage so we didn't have to check any bags either.


Awesome pilot!  Brayden was amazed!

Sterling, a little unsure!

All set to go!

All smiles!

Brayden was great, he was able to watch movies and play games the whole flight, Chandler slept pretty much the whole time and Sterling had a bit of rough go!  She wouldn't sit for a movie and got pretty squirmy and had her moments poor girl!

GaGa and PaPa picked us up from the airport and these two were able to catch a snooze!
WOW SNOW!
 We had an amazing house walking distance from the lift with just gorgeous views.  We definitely got our fair share of snow while we were here!




Day 1:  Headed out for the slopes.  I am so thankful for our GaGa who so graciously stays home with the girls so I can go out and snow board for a few hours!  I am still nursing Chandler girl every 3-4 hours though so I had to come back to the house several times to feed my girl!



Oh I am so lucky for this one!  Unfortunately my phone fell out of my pocket on the lift and Christi, bless her heart got out in the snow and hiked around with me for about an hour looking for it without complaining once!  Luckily someone had picked it up and returned it to lost and found and I was able to get it right back.  Better believe that is NEVER going to happen to me again!

Brian and his snowboarding buddy, Brian was INCREDIBLY patient and took Brayden out to learn to snow board our first morning.  He did great and was a natural,  Brian was very sore from hefting him all over the hill though!

Oh how I love to hold her while she sleeps and I just don't get to do it enough!  Perfection



Brayden took snowboarding school all day the second day and did terrific!

I love this!  Little Chandler is just a little bundled up for her venture out of the house!

More than anything else Brayden really just loved shoveling snow!  He could have done this for hours!

GaGa and Tootie walking the slippery walk to the bottom of the slope


My loves taking a little cartoon break

My snowboarding buddies for this trip

BEST Dad!

Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen?!  Such a tiny little snowboard!


So proud of our boy!

PaPa gave snowboarding a try too!

And THIS is why Brian was sore!

Gondola!

Nothing like some good food and drinks at the bottom of the mountain!


We played in the snow a lot!  Brayden LOVES it and seems to have no feeling when it comes to the cold!




There was an awesome theatre room in our house
 We headed down the road to do some tubing.  Unfortunately Sterling was not tall enough to go down so PaPa and GaGa just pulled her around for a bit!




The boys headed out to snowboard/ski on our last full day there so GaGa and I got these girls out of the house and took them on a Gondola ride into town.  We took them to the Breckenridge Childrens museum and it was so cute!  Sterling had a really good time there and there was a lot to see and do.



She loved this little slide and "bears den"



I love this pic, cool guys!

SUCH an amazing trip and so many memories made!
