New Family Tradition

This year we decided to start a new family tradition at Christmas time of going to the Denver Botanical Gardens Blossoms of Light show. They did an amazing job lighting up the gardens with every kind and color of twinkle lights you could imagine! It wasn't too long of a trail for the kids to loose interest so it really is a great holiday experience. If you Coloradoans haven't ever been I highly suggest going. Here are just a few pics of the evening.

Pumpkin fun

We all had a great day at the pumpkin patch this past weekend. Some of the pumpkins were as big as Lil Peanut! He also held a deep and meaningful conversation with his new found buddy. Pictures speak for this ;) 

New family tradition

This last Sunday we raced as a new family in the Denver Race for the Cure. It was Ryan's first time, but Lil Peanut had been going to the race since he was in my belly ;) We had fun making shirts for the race the night before. Here see some great pics from our day.

Fun day at Devil's Backbone

Yesterday I took Lil Peanut hiking. It was such a beautiful Colorado day it only seem logical to get out and about. We went to Devil's Backbone Park, which isn't to far of a drive for us. I have to say I was impressed with how well this open space was cared for. Kudos to living in Northern Colorado ;) Lil Peanut was so excited to be the "leader" and I was one very proud momma for how well he did! We ended our nice lil hike with a picnic in the shade and deer sightings. Here are a few pics of the fun day trip.

Ok ok...

I have been horrible at posting on the blog this year! I can't believe three months just slipped away. Well there is a very good reason why and I can explain...

I got married. We are no longer a family of two, but three. Lil Peanut and I are very excited about the adventures that lie ahead. 

Just to catch up the past few months I'll post some pictures of our recent adventures ;)

It's moments like this in this snapshot that just make my heart melt and I find myself in pure awe and joy. Thank you Jesus for this amazing Lil Peanut in my world ;)

So big

My lil Peanut is getting so big! He will be turning 3 next week and the time has truly flown by. Today he was so proud to get dressed up the the big wedding of the letter Q and U at school today. Just look at that smile ;)

New Year, New Adventure!

This 2014 has already been a busy year to start. With owning a new house and all the things that come with it and fixing it up we've been busy! Lil Peanut and I had an amazing Christmas with family and friends. It was so neat to see Peanut get so excited about Santa and the cookies he ate and the presents he brought. This was the first year of a long standing Overdier tradition that Kaiden was old enough to take part in. Each Christmas he gets new underwear annnnd he has to show them to the camera ;) he thought that was pretty funny.

Overall we've had a great start to the new year, look forward to the exciting things to come this year and will make sure I BLOG more about it!!!
As always enjoy the pics ;)

Pictures I love ;)

At the office today I heard a lil boy giggling and it instantly made me miss my Lil Peanut. I just wanted to leave work, pick him up from daycare, and smother him in kisses. When my heart feels heavy he can always lift it with a smile! So instead of leaving work I flipped through pictures on my phone.

I thought I'd share my favorites from the last couple of weeks ;)

Peanut's Sandbox

Mimi bought Lil Peanut his first sandbox and he loves it so much I literally have to drag him out of it! He plays so hard he has sand pouring out of pant legs, and stuck in between his lil fingers and pudgy toes, but the best surprise of all is when I change his diaper there is a whole secret compartment of sand hidden haha. Here are just a few pictures of him in his favorite spot!

Thanks Mimi ;)
