Enjoying our yard with Zach the cat

Gus and I like to sit in our yard with mountain views. Here is Gus and Zach eating cookies.

Brown Beard

Gus played the pirate Brown Beard in his school play.  He is quite the ham.  While some kids had a fear of performing in front of a crowd, Gus excelled.  Here he is!

Strike a pose

He looks like he is trying out to be a bikini model. Though, he claims he wants to be a football player and he wants to play for the Hokies. Watch out Frank Beamer!

Look at that kid.  Two at a time.

These two have a "bromance" going at school

Handsome boy

Let the sugar high begin

That is Gus near the top.  He climbs like a regular monkey

Gus' New Big Boy Room

Gus outgrew his toddler bed.  I decided to put him in a full size bed which didn't fit well in his little room.  So I moved him to a new room and did some decorating.  It still needs some finishing touches and I haven't officially moved his books, clothes and toys, but here is a sneak peak: 
I remembered to take some before pictures at the last minute.  Note the floral wallpaper which had to go.

More floral wallpaper.  Even behind the radiator.


There is my friend Thanida who is helping me with the project.

After: Gus in his favorite reading chair.  He has a desk with a chair now for art projects.

Gus' big boy bed and his own bedside lamp.

A nice carpet for Gus to play on.

Room for books and toys behind the door.
I hope you like it!  I'll try to post more pictures after I move his pictures, clothes and books.

Mud Season

It's getting warm out here.  The snow is slowly melting.  Gus (though he insists on being called Gussie these days) is just loving the sun and the great weather.  He is a true Colorado Boy.  Here is my Colorado boy-wearing his Virginia Tech shirt- doing his Gussie stuff.

My other boys

Zach and Walter were my first two boys. That insanely large tuxedo cat on the left is Walter. And the little Tiger cat is Zach. Can you believe they are the exact same age?

I think Walter is a Maine Coon cat. Any opinions?

Three Year Old. . . how far Gus has come


What a difference three years can make. Here is my version of a before and after.

Gus' 3-year-old stats:
Height 39.1 inches: 90%
Weight 34.7 pounds: 75%

One Hep A shot later and the pediatrician declared him healthy as a horse.

Christmas 2011

Christmas 2011 is a success!  The party consisted of Mom and Gus, but boy we had a good time.  We spent two days baking, eating, opening presents, swimming, and scooter-ing.  Gus hammed it up for the camera.  He was lucky enough to get a nice Leap Pad from Aunt Amy and Uncle Brian!  And a "big truck" from his Nana and Poppa.  Santa brought him a Buzz Lightyear scooter.  His Aunt T and Uncle Chuck got him the biggest ball you've ever seen (those pictures are to come), and his mom bought him the Tebow gear!  Several others gave him nice presents as well.  Thank you for all who love my son.

I hope who ever is reading this also had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season.  And my present? Other than the sweetest, bestest little boy ever?  A Patagonia down sweater.  It is soooo warm!
