Colorado and the past week..

So for springbreak/ 1 year anniversary Ladd and I went to Colorado to ski for week!! Putting numbers down on paper we decided to drive instead of flying because it was cheaper!! So we drove up on the 15th thru the night and got there early tuesday morning. So Tuesday after we took a much needed nap, we decided we wanted to hit the slopes for a half day on Keystone. It was more like an entire day because of the dusk skiing last until 6.. So we skiied from noon till 6!!

So due to my last experience on the slopes (*for those who dont know.. Our last trip to Colorado at Breckenridge on our last time down the slope, my toe catches the snow, mind im in blades not skis, and my leg is nearly ripped off.. We had to call ski patrol and I was carried down the mountain to the first aid). So due to this little adventure my first day of skiing this time was a little stressful for me.. I was wigged out about the snowboarders zooming by and the fact there was soooo many skiers coming down the slopes. Not to mention the massive amount of peer pressure from James and Ladd.. :( So by the next day at A-Basin I did a lot better considering there was half the amount of people there!! Probably even less than that!! Overall I did TONS better there than at Keystone!! So Wednesday I was so worried about everyone getting sunscreen and getting out the door before Ladd ripped me a new one, I had forgotten to put sunscreen on myself :( I paid for this.. OH man I received the worse sunburn of my life!! It sucked!! By Friday my face was soooo stiff I had to keep water close by so I could moisten my face to open my mouth to eat!! Man..

I think Thursday was the COLD day.. It was basically the white out day.. It was snowing soooo hard with nasty wind.. It made for a bad day of skiing.. Vision was so limited I was scared to go any where because you couldnt tell the differentiation in the mountain.. Very difficult.. Glad James showed up so I could sit out half the day while he and Ladd could ski it up with out me holding them back.. And besides by this day my face had blistered and started to "ooze" so my gator was freezing to my face.. Not a good feeling.. I think the temp that day was like 7 degrees.. started out -2.. :( Too cold for this Texan!! :)

Ok so after you ski 4 days you can accrue many bruises. Especially on someone who bruises very easily!! OH man was I bruised by the end of the week!! Its mainly from my skis hitting the same spot and falling down to sit in the pact snow!! These pics dont do the bruises justice compared to what they look like now!! Just put it this way.. Its going to be a while before they go away!!Anyways we had a blast!! Ladd got to ski some double blacks with James and I got to read 3 books!! It was a great trip.. So one our drive home we got to see everything on the way home in the day time!! We saw snow all the way past Lubbock!! Not to mention we left the day before the huge blizzard hit.. James got stuck at the airport on the runway for 4 hours while they delayed flights..!! That sucks!! But there was so much cool stuff on the way back!! But the best part was finally making it back to Greyson!! When he woke up Monday morning he was soooo excited to see us and he had to show us all the cool stuff Nana and Papa got him over the week!! And they say they dont spoil him.. HA!! Then we were off to Houston.. where, by the way, the weather is freakin AWESOME!! :) So hopefully when Ladd is off next week we can spend the day at the park and pack a picnic and ride some bikes!! Im excited things are finally back to routine!!


OH!! Greyson is doing soooo much better at daycare!! Yesterday and Today he walked into his classroom (as before I had to peel him off me) and he went and sat down at the tiny tables and crossed his hands and waited for his breakfast. I waved bye and he smiled and waved back!! It was so cute but so sad that my baby boy is finally growing up and becoming independent!! :( At least he is still so excited to see me at the end of the day!! :)

Past few weeks/months haha!!

Ok so in a nutshell Life got busier.. Didnt think that could happen but it did!! I started school again so I can work on getting certified to teach in a different subject since they took Health out of the requirements to graduate. So Im taking a Microbiology class at Lonestar and I LOVE IT!! I think thats what I want to teach, Biology :) Ok since I started substituting on my days I dont have class, Ladd and I decided to start Greyson in Daycare. (and because he was getting way to much of a mommies boy/clingy/antisocial) The first couple of days at daycare were brutal for him and me!! But for the first time today I picked him up and he didnt cry when he saw me (because he was happy to see me not because he wanted to stay). He kept playing!! I was so proud of my little man and how well adapted he has gotten. The teacher said she can tell when they are getting used to everything because they take longer naps!! He slept 2 1/2 hours today!! yay!! He is growing up!! I miss him to death during the day but I absolutely love the art work he brings home.. I am going to make a art wall for him!! :) Make it a "About Greyson" wall.. :)

Other things that have happened. Well the first weekend in February (my birthday) was my Sister-in-laws baby shower. Well Greyson caught a stomach virus that weekend too!! We figured it was just something he picked up and wouldnt be too bad. Well after eating mexican food ladd comes home and get super sick.. Like BAAAAD!! Then saturday during the baby shower while I am writing down the gifts, I get broad sided with the STOMACH VIRUS!! this wasnt a small get together.. Like I had to push my way through a crowed living room of about 50 people (my parents living room is a very large living room) It was aweful!! Then the virus slowly began its way through my family. A couple of days later we found out anyone and everyone at the babyshower had got it!! It was to the point where you didnt eat for days!! I lost 10 lbs!! haha :)

So baby shower was the first weekend in February and on February 25th Baby Kourtni Lillian Haehn was born!! She is GORGEOUS!! Chubby little cheeks and jet black hair!!

Sorry about the picture quality.. They were takin with my Blackberry.

Since the weather has been nice Greyson has been playing outside a lot and his newest facination is bubbles!! He loves them!! OH!! He also is starting to potty train. We arent pushing it hard core yet bc we want him to get used to day care first but I am really going to get after it after spring break, first of April. He is sooo stinkin cute!! He knows what it is and he goes to the bathroom when I say potty.. he also pats his diaper/crotch when i say "Need to potty?" He thinks its exciting!! Which is good!!

Again with my Blackberry.

Ok so whats on the agenda for the next couple of weeks. Well for springbreak/1 year anniversary we are going skiing in Colorado. Hopefully I can get one romantic candle lit dinner over looking the slopes out of it :) We shall see... But other than that back to substituting, school, and Greyson :) LOVE IT!! :) Cant wait till im a REAL teacher!! :) Subbing has really pumped me about teaching and cant wait to have my own classroom to decorate and my own kids to teach!!
