Pagosa Springs!

We just got back from a really fun trip to Pagosa springs. We went with our good friends Hondo and Trisha Wynn and their almost one year old son, Caleb. Jason and Hondo spent two days skiing in the mountains and Trish and i watched the boys and scrapbooked ! We even traded date nights and soaked in the wonderful hot springs. One of the best parts of the trip was watching Levi and Caleb play together. They are alomst the same size even though they are 7 months apart =) Levi got down on his knees and crawled around with Caleb and little caleb practiced walking! We feel truly blessed with our dear friends and are very sad that they will be moving to slovenia in the spring, although very excited for them and their ministry!
We will miss you guys!!!!

meals were never a boring time...we kept telling levi to copy caleb. Levi is not a very good eater...

Trish and caleb!

I love this one of little duder. He is so precious!

Trish and I took the boys sledding and had a blast! The funniest thing was that the snow was not very stable . We kept sinking in one leg at a time and couldn't stop laughing. It always caught us by surprise!

Levi decided to pull his own sled

We were constantly on the watch with these two. They kept switching cups and trying to get up the stairs, messing with tv and stereo buttons, eating stuff off the floor.. the list goes on and on. But they did really well. We were so proud of them being so good in the long car rides and sharing their toys.

They enjoyed eating the coasters and playing with them.

best pals... what else can I say?

Happy Valentines Day!

Levi and I made a big card to show all of you that we love you and wish you a happy valentines day! Originally I tried to have him hold the sign but he wasn't too fond of following orders =) Enjoy his smile and know that we are thinking of all of our good friends and family this valentines day!

walking in your shoes...

Levi has some big shoes to fill =) He loves trying on our shoes it's pretty funny watching him try to walk in them!

Florida

Jason's mom was going to Florida with a couple of families she nannies for and she asked us to join her for a fun weekend getaway. Jason's brother, Timothy also came! It was a whirlwind weekend of flying, driving, eating, playing , swimming, hugging and so much more. Levi did really well on the flights, his first time flying! He didn't sleep and was constant motion but no tears! We got to spend one day at the pool and beach. The hotel Beth (mom) was working at (she was watching a baby girl while the rest of the family went to disney world) was huge and amazing. It had a hawaii theme and so everyone greeted us with Aloha! We got to stay with my good friends Adam and Arissa who lived about an hour away. They have a new little boy, Nehemiah who is just adorable. Levi loved watching him and patting his back.
Levi loved getting to know his grandbeth. He even gave her a kiss before we left! He got all the attention any little boy would want! Thank you Grandbeth for a fun weekend!!

Uncle Tim looking very festive !

Levi giving Time "cheers" with his sippy cup. A favorite trick his grandpa taught him.

Arissa with Nehemiah (10 weeks). Arissa and I have been friends since high school and have always kept in touch. We're hoping they get to move back to Colorado someday...She is a blessing in my life!

Trying to get a group photo, it was late and Levi had had enough. We definitly pushed his limits this weekend but he did great!

It was fun to see palm trees everywhere! something you don't get in Colorado!

Sea gulls were everywhere! They are loud and kind of pesky but fun to take pictures of.

I love it when he sits like this, so cute!

Friends

Kim is a good friend of ours. She has patiently been waiting for a hug from Levi and just a few weeks ago it happend! He went right up to her and wanted to be picked up and then gave her a wonderful hug! It was a special moment for the two of them =) Thanks for your patience Kim, we love you!

Merry Christmas!!

My mom and dad came and spent a couple of days with us, it was very special.

My bro, jon.

Spencer and Jason being tough! It was nice that Spencer and Becky cam up for christmas eve, even though it is their honeymoon!! We had the whole Jarvis clan up and the new meyers of course too =)

Becky got Levi this funny monkey, his arms and legs can get really long or really short. It's hilarious and Levi loves him!

Levi had the best time just taking the lid of this box on and off and putting the blocks away. He's a very tidy person =)

Jason and Jon put this jungle gym together christmas morning. It has a climbing wall a rope ladder and a slide. Levi is quite the climber and figured it out in no time. now he can work out while mommy does her work outs!

Levi did really well at not pulling on the tree. But he did love to look at the presents and take the ornaments off.
