Ava Jane is 3!!!

2009-12-12T06:34:00.001-08:00

I can't believe it. Happy Birthday baby girl!

4 years later... Success!!!

2009-12-11T13:20:00.001-08:00

So we went to see Santa today. Which can always be an experience. You never know what you're gonna get. Let's take a look at the years past for evidence...

2 weeks after Ava was born:

A little better... Not much interest at all actually.

Not having much of this man at all:

But then!! 2009 comes and brings with it 2 happy kids with smiles, sitting like a Christmas card!

Baby it's cold outside!!!!

2009-12-09T14:45:00.000-08:00

Right Now...

2009-11-06T10:45:00.000-08:00

I cherish the moments when they play so well together.

Preschool Halloween Parade

2009-11-03T11:39:00.001-08:00

The Halloween party at Preschool was supposed to be Thursday, so everyone was devastated when it snowed so hard that school was canceled, but it was made up for today. All the kiddos in costume paraded around the Parish Hall and they all looked so adorable I could have eaten them, if I hadn't already had breakfast... There's my little Dinosaur in the middle standing up

Halloween 2009

2009-11-01T08:11:00.003-08:00

Everyone loves Halloween, especially when your kids are finally old enough to understand what it's all about. That was this year for us. Our kids were so excited and they practically ran from house to house. But we are still at the awesome age where they are satisfied with hitting half a block and they are ready to go home. I would call this year the perfect Halloween. I know next year we will be trick-or-treating for much longer....

Here are the kids in all their Halloween glory as The Little Mermaid and a scary-nice Dinosaur (his description).

Bella and Sophie came over to trick-or-treat with us before we headed to their house for the annual Halloween party.

At the Halloween party it is a must to dress up for the adults, here is Brian and I as Juno McGuff and Paulie Bleaker. He has some nice legs.

Josh and Shawna were a UPS delivery woman and her package..

Joe and Birthday-girl Sarah were the ever classy Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Jisun and her boyfriend, Mike, were the curtest Popeye and Olive Oyle we have seen.

Brett, Chrystal, and Spencer can still get away with the family costume before Spencer gets his own ideas of a costume and they were The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

Halloween was a great success this year and the most fun I have had in a long time. It only gets more fun with the kids.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-24T12:13:00.000-07:00

We went to pick out some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch this weekend. It was frigid. Freezing. So we hung on and did as much as we could before our little feety-toes were frozen. Pumpkin carving next!

Fishing in Ida Grove

2009-10-05T20:19:00.000-07:00

While in Ida Grove before the wedding we spent some time fishing. While Brian and Jim spent A LOT of time fishing. The kids absolutely love fishing.

Brody was just stalking his prey while Grandpa got everything ready.

Ava was more interested in posing with her fishing pole than actually fishing with it. Although everytime someone caught a fish she wanted to touch it.

Tj and Lisa FINALLY tie the knot

2009-10-05T20:12:00.001-07:00

Tj and Lisa finally got married after 6 years together. Did I get any pictures of the ceremony? No, silly, I was in the wedding. As was Brian, and Brody, and Ava. Hell, everyone I know was in this wedding, so the memory makin started on the party bus.

Here was the whole wedding party...

This is why they call it the party bus...

Its all about the memories we make, as Justin knows well.

Both the kids zonked out around midnight. We were lucky that Ronda and Jim took all the kids back to the house so we could party the night away. Thanks so much!

Jim dancing with his new daughter in law.

Here are the boys.

Big Man on Campus

2009-09-10T14:20:00.001-07:00

Brody started Preschool today. We both held it together rather well. Ava was the only one that shed a tear cause she couldn't go in Brody's classroom with him. Sending my baby boy into a strange classroom, with a strange (although probably very nice) teacher, and strange other people's kids was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Although he kept his brave face on (probably for my sake) Brody was more nervous than he wanted to let on, but I could tell. Yes, I probably took more pictures than was really necessary. No, I'm not embarrassed about that.

They went to the zoo again?

2009-08-12T14:07:00.000-07:00

Yes, we did. This time we met up with our dear friends from Thornton, Melinda and her kids Cruz and Mia.

And sometimes there really are no words...

2009-08-04T15:40:00.000-07:00

Because you're not really sure what's even going on.

And obviously you can't count on those around you to clue you in.

Mr. and Mrs.

2009-07-17T12:19:00.000-07:00

Nothing brings the fun out in people like a good wedding. We had one this weekend. We were lucky enough to be able to attend the wedding of our good friends Dianna and Jay. The bride and ceremony were beautiful and Jay was holding back tears. The food was great and then the party was ON!

We danced and drank, and drank, and drank. There are just pictures here and no explanations, cause sometimes, there are no words.

"Get your own wife, Daren!!"

Jay and Brian.

All the girls.. Jisun, Me, Dianna, Shawna, Sarah, and Chrystal

Beautiful bride, Di

I just don't know about them.

Dancin the night away

Happy couple.

Joe, Brett, and Daren

Us.

Lazy Dazy Summer Daze

2009-06-24T07:17:00.001-07:00

The best kind....

The shortest nature walk ever.

2009-06-01T12:41:00.001-07:00

We went to a nature park that we live close to recently for a nice nature walk. We made it like .25 of a mile cause we had to stop at every flower, every stream, and feel the consistency of every bit of sand. We also collected our fair share of rocks, sticks, and mashed up flowers. The kids had fun though and it was beautiful day to get out of the house.

Sharing is Caring.

Ava is always the leader.

The zoo is WHERE IT'S AT.

2009-06-01T12:24:00.000-07:00

We went to the zoo this weekend. Lots of fun and the perfect morning outing, allowing for a long long nap.

They were being Simba and Nala on this rock.

WHAT!?!?! She updated her blog!! I know, right?

2009-05-28T11:14:00.001-07:00

But it has been so long, and truly nothing has been happening, that you just get pictures. Enjoy.

Introducing Bella's new baby sister
Sophia Grace.

Ava is in heaven with baby Spencer and baby Sophie around. She loves them.

Garden of the Gods

2009-04-23T13:31:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile. I'm aware. But really there hasn't been a whole lot going on lately. Just keeping busy with work and house hunting. But this week we were blessed with really great weather, after a lot (A LOT) of really wet snow.

We took advantage by meeting some friends at the Garden of the Gods. The perfect place to soak up the sun and take in nature's glory. Oh, and let the kids run wild without many boundaries, until they are good and tired.

Estes Park Fun

2009-03-30T11:05:00.001-07:00

This weekend we joined a group of Brian's old work friends from his TMobile days for a few fun days and nights in Estes Park. We rented 4 condos, and, including all the children there were about 28 people there. There was a lot going on, a lot of food, A LOT of drink and a lot of Guitar Hero.

Right outside our door was this little river. And, after the snowstorm that hit the night before we were supposed to leave, it was beautiful... and frigid.

Of course, Brian had to see just how far out on the ice he could get before it started to crack.

We had a good time walking around the river and on the bridge, taking pictures, throwing snow and rocks in.

This is Brian's "artsy" shot. I think it turned out pretty cool.

We also made a trip to the Stanley hotel. Which is where they shot the outside scenes of The Shining and this hotel is supposed to be haunted. None of us had ever been, so it was neat to see.

We didn't see any ghosts, but the pictures of the hotel when it was built over 100 years ago were creepy enough.

We are really enjoying the age of the kids right now. It is getting easier and easier all the time to take them on little trips like this. I can't wait to take them more places.

We had a great time with all the TMobile crew. Thanks for having us and we hope to see you all again next year!

We went to the zoo... again

2009-03-26T07:24:00.000-07:00

It seems that we enjoy doing the same things over and over again. Going to the zoo is one of those things. Once you buy the pass, it's cheap, relatively easy, they let you bring your own food, it's entertainment for hours, and when you get them back in the car, they are exhausted. All things that make for a successful day out with kids.

Monkeys looking at eachother, wondering who is the one in the zoo.

Are you in the zoo or are we in the zoo? Who is on display here? Brody thought it was hilarious that he was picking his nose.

Disney Adventure on Ice

2009-03-16T10:59:00.000-07:00

This weekend while Brian was away racing in Texas, I took the kids, along with Josh, Shawna, and Bella to Disney on Ice. We left in the morning to drive up to Denver to hang out with Jisun.

We had lunch at Red Robin. It happens to be the kids' favorite restaurant.

Then we went back to Jiji's house to hang out and let the kids take a nap before the show.

The show started at 7:30 so it was a really long night for everyone by the time we got home. It was a lot of fun though. This was our second "On Ice" experience, and I must say that I thought Finding Nemo on Ice was better. Which was a year ago, almost to the day.

The other children.

2009-03-12T13:12:00.001-07:00

The children that we had before we had actual children...

As many of you know, Titan has been having some major medical issues in the past few months. He was having some mild seizures as well as a bad back problem. He was on some steroids for his back and they have seemed to help him quite a bit. He has since been weened off of them, and is mostly back to normal. Although he is noticeably slower and much more gray in the face. I think it really took its toll on him. But he is hanging in there and we are excited to be able to spend a few more quality years with him.

Chase is the same ol' Chase. He is healthy like a horse (always has been). He is constantly needing a bath and a haircut and makes sure the neighbors are keeping their distance...

The sum of our days....

2009-03-06T13:40:00.000-08:00

.... has been spent here. The house we live in has a small sandbox tucked in the corner of the yard. It has been both a blessing and a curse. It provides hours and hours of entertainment while I can get lots of stuff done (or get nothing done). I can sit outside in a chair in the sun and read and not worry about them running around or getting hurt. Cause they are content in the sand.

It's not till it's time to come in that the curse part starts. They have been so filthy that they have gotten a bath almost everyday this week. There is sand tracked in every square inch of my house which means I have also vacuumed and swept 3 times this week. And just for fun, Ava has tested the taste of a handful of sand twice this week which means that I have had to rinse out her mouth the best I could and listen to her complain about the grit in her teeth for the rest of the day (was it not gross enough the first time?)

These are minor complaints though considering how much the kids have been enjoying it and how much quiet time I have been getting. I think we will keep it.

(Can she even see out of those glasses?)

Nice, Brody:

Cupcakes and Friends

2009-02-16T15:45:00.000-08:00

Friends and cupcakes. What could be better for Valentine's Day

Exclusively for Ashley's failing imagination.

2009-01-29T16:02:00.000-08:00

Here she is. Home Sweet Home. Yes, I have since moved the trash can after it sat there for 2 days. Am I wrong in thinking that the inside of the house is my job while the outside of the house should be tended to by the boy?

New house!

2009-01-26T15:49:00.001-08:00

So as promised, here are some pics of the new house. When we moved back to Colorado Springs we were able to find this amazingly cute house in Rockrimmon for the right price!

I'm not sure why I started with Ava's room, but here it is. She got to get the big girl furniture and Jen made this amazing quilt for her bed. I love Ava's room. When Ava wakes up in the middle of the night I usually end up spending most of the night in her room with her. Its so warm and cozy.

Here is my cute little kitchen with the eat in bay window.

The majority of the house is just one big room with vaulted ceilings that are wood. We feel like we are on vacation in the mountains. It's snowing today so that adds to the feeling...

This fireplace takes up almost the whole wall. Which made it a little difficult to place the furniture, but we are pretty happy with the outcome. Its cozy.

We have a lot of big trees in the back yard. This picture was obviously taken a couple days ago.

In other news, we have added a new life to our family...

Please meet Dory. The kids are thrilled with "her" and love to feed her and just watch her swim around.

Too much cuteness

2009-01-20T18:52:00.001-08:00

So I am aware that I owe some folks some pictures of our new cute house. Those are coming, I promise. But today I got my kids dressed and I was overwhelmed with their matching cuteness. And they were in good moods so I took advantage and took them outside for pictures.

Can you resist the cuteness? If you can you have a cold cold heart.

A Copper Christmas

2008-12-29T12:19:00.000-08:00

For Christmas this year we joined Grandma and Grandpa Murphy at their condo in Copper Mountain. Sure, there was a Christmas tree and lots of presents, followed by a delicious meal, but the best part of the trip was all the playing we did in the snow. There was a lot of snow, and the kids loved it. Everytime we turned around Brody was making a snow angel.

Brody even convinced Grandpa to make a snow angel with him.

Santa brought Brody a sled so we had to take it out on the slopes to try it out. It was a success.

We made a stop to visit Santa and his reindeer and thank him for the sled. The kids were non too sure about that reindeer.

Later in the day we went tubing. It was so much fun. We would all hold on to the kids' tube and would get up plenty of speed to make me nervous. But the kids just laughed the whole way down.

After tubing we headed inside for some ham and potatoes. Yummy!

Merry Christmas!!

Ava Jane is 2 years old!

2008-12-12T13:21:00.000-08:00

Ava Jane is 2 years old today. I can't even believe it. She is my baby. The one that I thought would always be the baby.

And here she is. All grown up. Running things around here, bossing Mommy, Daddy, and Brody around. Using the big girl potty. Telling me exactly what she wants and when she wants it. Talking so much more and so much better than Brody did at her age. She is such a blessing in our lives. We are so lucky to have her and all her bossy big girl glory in our lives. My baby is no longer a baby.

What's wrong with Santa?

2008-12-05T17:29:00.000-08:00

Soo... Let's backtrack a little. The first year that we went to see Santa, Ava was only a couple weeks old. Which, in retrospect was probably a bad idea. It was Christmas Eve and packed. That poor man had probably touched a million snotty, sick little brats before he touched my precious, vulnerable newborn baby. Anyway, she was asleep and didn't care one bit about the big man in the red suit. Brody, on the other hand was 1.5 and was terrified:

The next year we went before Thanksgiving. The best idea I have ever had. We were in and out in a matter of seconds. The kids were good, and still, did not care about the man in the red suit:

This year there was no one in line. So I thought we would have a good chance of getting a repeat picture from last year. I couldn't even get them to sit on the man's lap. They would talk to him, from a safe distance and laugh and joke, but they would not touch him. He asked what they wanted and Brody said he wanted a snowboard (which, of course, was the first time I had heard he wanted a snowboard, and, of course, I was done shopping) and Ava said she wanted a "doll-doll". I wasn't going to let a little thing like the kids refusing to sit on his lap stop me from getting my Santa picture. So, like the trooper I am, I stepped into the picture with them. Don't they look thrilled?:

Maybe next year...

You're fired!

2008-11-23T15:27:00.001-08:00

I asked Brian to give the kids a bath and this is what Ava came out looking like. Brian had brushed her hair, but more like a boy with no hair would brush it and she looked JUST like Mr. Trump. Seriously. Oh. You can't tell from this angle?

Just take a look at the view from the back. She even has the really long wispy hair in the back...

And the weird, uneven messy part with the top brushed a little forward. Maybe I have spent a little too much time looking at his hair, but it is an unexplained phenomena all its own.

So, Daddy... While we appreciate you giving the kids a bath while Mommy spends a few MUCH needed moments of quiet, when it comes to brushing hair...

"YOU'RE FIRED"

De Ja Vu?

2008-11-19T18:34:00.000-08:00

Why do I feel like I just did this less than a year ago? And yet. Here we are doing it again. Also, in the middle of winter. The thought that in 5-7 days we could be totally done with diapers is what keeps me going. I just keep telling myself:

This too, shall pass

It passed with Brody. And look at him now:

All man:

Tricks and Treats

2008-11-01T17:11:00.000-07:00

This year we went to Justin and Tonya's house for Trick or Treating. We had lots of fun. And we were so lucky that the Hecks were on their way through Omaha on their way home from visiting family and stayed long enough to join us for Halloween.

Here is the best pic of our kids. Turned out pretty good, I think.

There is pretty Bella who was the cutest little fairy. Ava was a bumblebee that I could have just gobbled up. Brody was a dinosaur, but his "head" was bothering him all night cause it kept falling over his eyes. Mr. Cyler was Spiderman and on a candy mission. Cole was a duck and was so cute, cause when he walked his little tail would wag. Too cute.

Didn't you know that Halloween was for more than just the kids? Here is Justin looking scary. The kids weren't fond of this look.

Ava and Bella were so cute. They held hands the whole time and giggled like, well, like little girls.

The wagon was a great idea, and Ava just hopped into it like it was her place.

Here is the scary dinosaur with his head on.

Bella was the prettiest little fairy.

This is the only picture of Cyler I could get. He was on a mission and was about 3 houses ahead of us the whole time. It was noticeable that he was a pro at this trick or treating.

Here is a picture to show my new haircut. I had to sneak in a baby so that I wasn't taking a random picture of myself.

That's it! Thanks again to the Eggos for letting us tag along in your neighborhood till we find one of our own! And thanks to the Hecks for coming to visit us! We loved having you guys and miss you like crazy!

4 years ago...

2008-10-16T07:46:00.001-07:00

We got hitched.

Happy anniversary, Brian. I love you.

Home Sweet Omaha

2008-10-15T19:38:00.001-07:00

Well. We are here. In Omaha. I have had a couple requests. One to update the blog, and two to post some pictures of the new digs. So here we are. I didnt even clean up so you could get a true sense of how it is to be here day to day.

Here is the view from the door. You can see the entire place from this spot.

Here is the tv. We have the little tv out here. Cause the big one would look like a movie theater in here. The big tv, along with about half of our personal belongings, is nestled (tightly) in a storage unit.

Here is the dining room. Also the work space, and the sewing room.

Directly behind the couch is the kids play... area. Not quite a room. But at least they have a spot.

Here is our kitchen. I want you to just appreciate for a moment the amount of storage Im lacking.

I have 2 drawers this size. The only 2 drawers in my kitchen. Not even enough for a silverware divider. So everything is just thrown in there.

The room behind the tv is our room. Also the office and the dog room.

Brody and Ava are sharing a room here. Which they love and we are learning to deal with. They aren't sleeping so well, and I have to separate them during naps, but at least they love eachother right now.

Ava did move into a big girl bed when we got here. Adding to the kids not sleeping so much.

Cutting our living square footage in half has already taught us that we don't need half the things we have. And Im really enjoying the fact that the kids are sharing a room, since we won't be able to get away with it for very many years, I think it will be a great experience for them. And they are loving it.

But... In the meantime, this is how we feel...

Counting Crows anyone?

2008-09-26T13:09:00.000-07:00

Yes we did get to see them on Wednesday. Please, your jealousy is overwhelming.

There they are. You see Adam? The little speck in the middle?

Me and hubs.

Hey Ji, who's you little, blue, $11 friend? Miller something, right?

Hey there Townsends! Can't wait to meet that baby BOY!!!!!

Hey Hecks!! What's for dinner? Ice Cream and pickles? Can't wait for that one either!!

Good fun had by all. Thanks for the good times, friends!!

Lake Powell

2008-09-16T12:56:00.000-07:00

We just returned from Lake Powell with Dad and Jen and David. We had a blast! It was wonderful weather to go in September, not nearly as hot as usual and there were a lot less people.

If you have been to Powell, then you know all about the wonderful landscape that we got to enjoy for the last few days, and if you haven't been to Powell you should drop everything you are doing and go. Now.

This is Lizzie, she is the newest edition to Dad and Jen's family. She is a french bulldog and the cutest puppy on the planet.

It is so much fun to play in the water all day with this as the backdrop.

Everytime the boat was moving longer than 5 minutes Ava was sure to be asleep. She gets this from me. I just can't help myself.

Ava did the best in the water. She let Brian take her out a couple times. Brody was satisfied just climbing up and down the ladder and kicking the water from the back of the boat.

All the guys did some tubing. It's the perfect lake for that.

And, of course, if there are rocks to jump of off, you know the boys will be jumping.

Not the smartest thing they did all weekend.

We were responsible for a theme night dinner. We chose Powellfest. Very much like Beerfest. There was suspenders, German music and blonde braids. Beer Steins and my pretty sorry excuse for wienerschnitzel and potato dumplings. But at least the German Chocolate cake and the entertainment was good.

Brian's birthday bash in the Grove

2008-09-16T12:01:00.000-07:00

Here, as promised, are the pics from Brian's birthday in Ida Grove. It was a lot of fun to get everyone together to celebrate the 30 year milestone for my one and only.

This is Brian's sister, Allison, and brother TJ.

After TJ and Lisa get married in September of 2009, we will all officially be sisters. Hey, Lisa, what's on your shirt?

Matt made it, with his new girlfriend, who is wonderful.

Coach Lappe and the Eggos were able to visit also. Coach Lappe was Brian's wrestling coach from high school.

The Jensens were also able to stop by for a little while. This is Evan and Anabel. Their mommy, Missy went to school with Brian for EVER.

Cyler is Justin and Tonya's first son. Justin and Tonya both went to school with Brian too. I just love Cyler's fashion sense.

Here is Miss Lisa, just chillin.

Ryan and Megan (who, you guessed it, also knew Brian since they were very little) are expecting their first baby, so congrats to them!

The day after the party we went to the baseball field and played a family game of softball.

And after some little ones took a nap we headed to the park to play. This is the entire clan that was staying at the Rosch house walking to the park. Yes, there were a lot of us.

Everyone got in on the fun.

Here are all the Rosch kids in one spot. Everytime they are together we have to get a picture.

This is the entire Rosch clan except Gary. Who couldn't make it due to work. We really missed you, Gary!

I'm so far behind, I don't even know where to begin

2008-09-04T12:50:00.000-07:00

So.... Where were we? Oh.... That's right. In the past month, we have sold our house, packed up most of our belongings, and moved in with Jisun. Everything we own is piled up in Ji's garage for the next month until we make the permanant move to Omaha, Nebraska as of October 1.

In the meantime, many fun and exciting things took place, including the 30th birthday and celebration of Brian and a visit to Omaha and Iowa for interviews, apartment hunting and a big party with all Brian's friends and family for his birthday. But... of course, my camera cables are packed and my camera battery has died. So all those memories are hidden in my camera until further notice. Once I stumble upon them, we can go back in time to the party, cause it was a lot of fun!!

Anyway, the pictures that I do have are the recent birthday and celebration of one, Brody Murphy Rosch.

How old did you turn this year Brody? (If you look closely, that's a 3)

Three years old. Can you even believe it? I can't. It seems like this was just yesterday:

We had a small gathering for Brody, since he is of the age to know its his birthday. And all he wanted was presents and cake.

His actual birthday was a Wednesday, so Brian got off early and we went bowling, which is one of Brody's favorite activities.

So there you have it. Brody turned three and our entire life has been turned upside down. But we are all doing good. Even those dogs:

Sunday morning dress up

2008-08-03T11:38:00.000-07:00

This is Sunday morning at our house.

And Im not really sure why my kids never have clothes on. Especially when I am taking pictures of them.

Moab, Utah

2008-07-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

We met our friends, The Aokis in Moab, Utah for some fun in the sun. We only get to see the Aokis about once a year, so we have to make our little time together count. We packed so much into two days that we were completely wiped out by the time we got home.

We rented some Jeeps and went 4-wheeling all around the desert. I had heard a lot of great things about Moab, but you cannot believe how beautiful it is there.

Here is the Aoki Family, ready to hit the trails.

Don't look down!!

This obstacle is called the hot tub. Tommy told us that people take their vehicles down there and climb up that wall. We didn't try it...

You know I had to try driving..

Ellie and Brody got along great. Probable cause she got him to watch Barbie with her.

Ellie and Ava got along great too. Probably cause Ava let Ellie dress her up.

The next day we went on a little hike to a pool in the river where we played for awhile. It was so cool to hike in there and play. I loved it.

In between crying to be carried and complaining about his shoes, Brody loved it too.

Here is Jake. The youngest of the Aoki family. Isn't he a doll? I just want to eat him up. He is always so happy an d smiley. Except here. Where he just woke up from a nap.

Here are the Mamas. We at least needed to get one picture of ourselves to prove that we were there. Don't be jealous. If you ask nicely, I can teach you how to pose so fiercely.

On the road again.

2008-07-11T20:09:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh I got tagged again!!

2008-07-07T16:03:00.000-07:00

This time by Nicole. It seems to be a series of 3's. So, here goes.

3 joys:
Brian
Brody

Im not really afraid of anything else. But, rats? Grody.

Make a living working from home while simultaneously raising healthy, well adjusted, responsible, confident little people

3 obsessions
Raise healthy, well adjusted, responsible, confident little people
Books. I read a lot of them
Laundry (not really an obsession, but I do seem to do a lot of it, in an obsessive way)

3 random facts:
I was 7 months pregnant with Ava when I graduated from college
Brian and I lived together for almost 4 years before we got married
I, too, have snowboarded at Breckinridge in Colorado. And Copper, and Keystone.

Okay. So it seems that those aren't very good random facts about me. So it's either that I'm not very interesting, or... I'm not very interesting.

So now, I tag Ashley Aoki. Enjoy.

Try not to be jealous.

You know you wish you could eat lunch this way.

This would be titled "Rennaissance Festival" but there are no pictures of the festival and just pictures of our friends and kids.

2008-06-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

We went to the Rennaissance Festival this past weekend. Its always a good time. Even if only for the people watching (there was PLENTY to watch) and the food and beer.

Before we left the kids and I were playing around in the yard with the roses. They are really coming in pretty this year:

When we got there I convinced Brian to ride the boat. The last time we went to the zoo we rode the carousel and I seriously almost got sick. I have the stomach of a sissy since I had Ava. Which is really sad cause I love roller coasters.

Here is Di and Ji while we were eating. I didnt get a good picture of Shawna, but she was there too. Promise.

We got the kids these cute wings which will really come in handy around Halloween. Brody got dragon ones. I couldnt get Ava to wear hers longer than a few minutes.

Bella wore her wings almost all day.

And just to make your heart melt here is a picture of the betroved Brody and Bella already falling in love. We owe the Hecks a chicken.

A word of warning.

2008-06-20T15:42:00.001-07:00

Too much park fun may cause extreme drowsiness at inconvenient times.

Meanwhile...

2008-06-18T08:55:00.001-07:00

While we were having fun on the east coast, Brody and Ava got to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa Rosch and Datin, who is Tj's daughter.

They also did some swimming..

They also did some fishing...

But, unlike TJ, they caught something.

They camped a bit.

And they got to go to a friend's farm and visit all the animals.

There was a visit to Great Grandpa Sharp also.

Thanks again to Grandma and Grandpa Rosch for watching the kids for us! We love you.

North Carolina or Bust

2008-06-18T08:34:00.000-07:00

Last week Brian, Tj (Brian's brother), Lisa (TJ's now fiance) and I enjoyed some time in North Carolina. None of us had ever been to the east coast, so we thought we should go see what it was all about.

We rented this condo for the week. It was a cute little place. Right on the ocean with a fruit fly problem. Seriously.

This was our view...

Brian and I did a lot of sitting around and chillin...

While Tj and Lisa couldn't sit still, so they did a lot of playing in the ocean. There was body boarding...

We buried TJ in the sand...

And they did some kayaking.

The first night we were there Tj proposed to Lisa. For some reason, she said yes. Congrats!!!

We did some sightseeing on a dolphin boat. There were many beers, and ZERO dolphins.

A lot of this took place...

And we went out a couple nights. If your after nightlife, the Outer Banks are NOT for you..

We drove up to see this lighthouse. I couldn't tell you the name of it now, but it is the tallest lighthouse in America or the world or something.

It has 268 steps that spiral all the way up to the top.

TJ also tried some fishing off the peir. He didnt catch anything.

It was a nice long relaxing week. And a really fun being able to spend so much time with TJ and Lisa!! Thanks guys!! We love you.

Playin in the yard

2008-06-04T20:35:00.000-07:00

It was a gorgeous day and we had nothing to do. So we sat out and enjoyed the yard.

Brody is a running and jumping fool right now.

Just look how fast he is...

Ava was running after him for awhile, then gave up and just wandered.

The days where nothing is planned sometimes turn out to be the best.

Do you like ice cream?

2008-06-02T08:17:00.000-07:00

Me Too!

Mowin...

2008-06-02T08:15:00.000-07:00

What are you doin', Brody?

"Helpin' Daddy lawn mow!"

Where do I start.

2008-05-27T11:13:00.000-07:00

Memorial Day weekend was a full one for us. And we had so much fun.

On Saturday we went to celebrate with our good friend Joe who just recently graduated from college.

Congrats Joe, we are all so proud of you.

Really, is there anything cuter than a tub full of babies? I dont think so...

Then on Sunday there was some bowling (I know, we have become bowling fanatics around here, so I wont bore you with more pictures of that) then we headed to a party at Brett and Chrystal's new house. It really is such a treat to have them in Colorado.

While we were there we caught a quick glimpse of a rare and dangerous Daren Freeman sighting. But once we took a second glance to see if it was really him, like a flash, he was gone.

It was good to see you Daren, please come more often.

As the night wore on Chrystal mistakingly thought it would be a good idea to play American Idol. Coach K and Brian (once we actally got him to play it) were in full effect. I wont share their band name with you. As it is very inappropriate, but I think they have already scheduled some practices.

It really got frightening when they had to stand up to incorporate their sick dance moves.

As you can tell by pictures, I didnt actually attend any of these events. But I heard that everyone had a helluva good time.

Spring Basketball Tournament

2008-05-23T08:32:00.000-07:00

Spring Communications hosted a basketball tournament at the Pepsi Center recently. It was pretty exciting to see the guys playing where the Nuggets play.

We got to catch up with some friends...

And we played...

And we sat and chatted...

We got to play a bit on the court with Daddy....

Oh yeah, and I think there was some actual basketball that went on too...

Congrats to the team from Utah who took the whole enchilada.

My Mother's Day

2008-05-14T08:42:00.000-07:00

You know when you are so far behind that you just give up for awhile? That's me with this blog. I had so many pictures to share including trips to the zoo, Shawna's birthday, and so on. And they never made it here. So let's just start fresh and act like that never happened. Deal?

For Mother's Day this year it was pretty low key. Brian made me breakfast in bed, and he and the kids got me a gift certificate for a spa day, as well as a new phone. Blackberry. I'm like a new woman.

Then we sat around for a little bit. Made a shopping trip (big mistake) don't do anything that involves eating out or shopping on Mother's Day.

We stopped at Dairy Queen for lunch and ice cream, then headed home. The kiddos took a quick nap and we headed out for a walk.

Look at my little born leader... Out there facing the world, ready to make things happen.

Then we have the more laid back one. Doesn't really like leading, or walking for that matter. Dawdles constantly and is always being waited for.

There were a few pictures of me and the kids, but I didnt shower that day, so I'll save you from those.

Then we went home, worked in the yard a bit and had some quesadillas and watermelon for dinner. It was a great and full day.

I am so fortunate to have the honor of being the mother of these two little people. Each day I am amazed to see a glimpse of the person they are on their way to becoming. They make life make sense.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone. Whether you are a mother now, soon or someday. You deserve acknowledgment.

Code Red

2008-04-21T19:27:00.001-07:00

This past weekend we were all sick sick sick with some bug that Ava brought home (she is always the first to get sick). I mean sick. Of course the kids bounced back much faster than the parents did. But Sunday was so nice out. Like 80 at like 11 in the morning. I couldnt bare to keep the kids inside just cause I was rotting away on the couch and Daddy was dying upstairs in bed.

So I needed an outdoor activity that would entertain my kids for a long time while requiring ZERO activity from Mommy who is laying on a blanket in the sun. This is what we call a Code Red. Reserved only for emergencies... or extreme sickness.

Im a genius.

And yet another captured moment of sibling love. If only the in between moments were always so tender.

Busy busy...

2008-04-14T20:11:00.000-07:00

It was a busy busy weekend.

On Friday we played with tractors with all of Brody and Ava's friends.

On Saturday we went to Colorado Springs to help Isabella celebrate turning 1 year old. Happy to you Birthday! (That's how Brody sings the song).

Then on Sunday we went to visit Grandma, Grandpa and David for some BBQ. Grandma and Brody made brownies.

Yummy.

The sweetest thing in the whole wide world.

2008-04-08T10:45:00.000-07:00

Look what I caught a glimpse of this morning...

Brody and Ava sitting quietly on the couch, Brody reading a story to Ava. I melted.

Oops, caught.

Breckenridge

2008-04-07T08:06:00.001-07:00

This weekend we made a day trip up to Breckenridge. It was a really nice day. We did a little shopping, and hung out for quite a long time at the bridge at the outlet stores to watch the fish.

Then we went out to dinner with one of Brian's mortal enemies from high school, Matt. He and some of his friends we in Breck for the weekend skiing and causing mayhem. Just kidding, they aren't enemies. But you would think so sometimes the way boys treat eachother.

It was great to see you Matt. Hope to see you again soon.

Jump Street... Again.

2008-04-05T10:43:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday night we went to the UFC fights in Broomfeild, which was a lot of fun (of course, we forgot the camera) and The Hecks were wonderful enough to come and watch the kids for us.

So on Thursday afternoon we went to Jump Street again, cause Brian has been dying to go since I told him about it.

Here are the girls getting ready to go. P.S. Congrats to Miss Isabella on her new ability to walk. Its a major undertaking, I know.

First we hung out in the little kids section and went down the slide a few times. Brody loves this part.

Then it was time to hit the big trampolines.

Brian tried to master the jump off the wall. I wont even post the pictures of the rest of us trying to do it. We look stupid. Brian has a weird confidence on the trampolines.

He was able to do way more backflips in a row than a normal grown man should be able to do.

This is where the men ended up at the end of the day. Exhausted. You're not 13 anymore boys.

Just puttin it out there...

2008-04-03T09:35:00.000-07:00

So, this last weekend Brian went to a race in Texas, with my Dad. And he finished again which is great!! Congrats to Brian. But... He took the camera. And do you think that he took any pictures? Do you think? No. None. Not one.

And while he was in Texas, Jisun and I took the kids to the zoo. We had so much fun. The kids loved it, we taught them to walk like Monkeys which was so cute. But do you think we have any good pictures? Do you think? No. None. Not one. Jisun took a few with her phone...

Note to the husband...
I need my own camera. So we dont have this problem again. Im just sayin.

Easter

2008-03-24T09:14:00.000-07:00

Easter was a little chilly, but we still tried to go for a walk. We only made it about 4 houses down before we turned around and came home. That son of mine cant help but look cool.

Then we colored some eggs. Which is Brian's favorite part, because he can eat hard boiled eggs like no one you have ever seen. It's a little disturbing to watch... and smell.

Pretty low key day. Just eggs, chocolate, dinner, friends, and family.

Happy Easter from the Roschs.

Birthday Fun

2008-03-17T13:24:00.000-07:00

We has some birthday celebration this weekend for my birthday which is actually on Tuesday.

On Saturday The Hecks and Jisun came with us to see Finding Nemo on Ice. It was a great time. Brody loved it and watched the whole thing with complete amazement.

Here he is making his best Nemo face:

Ava really liked the first half. But after the intermission she was about done...

Some of us didnt make it through the whole thing at all...

So after Nemo we were on our way home and got into a car accident in our truck. No worries, everyone is okay and the truck is fixable, but it was a pretty good downer for the day.

After some tow trucks, insurance phone calls, manicures and pedicures, naps, and the arrival of some more firends, we went to dinner at PF Changs. It was very yummy and a great time with friends.

The Men in my life...

And hugs from my Best Girl..

We were planning on going back to Jump Street on Sunday morning, but Saturday was such an eventful (both good events and bad events) day that we just didnt make it. I had a great time this weekend and I appreciate all that were involved.

P.S. Happy St. Patricks Day. Have a green beer. You know Im gonna.

Mama said there'd be days like this...

2008-03-10T10:48:00.000-07:00

Her confidence outweighs her capabilities right now. At least we are all smiles.

And speaking of extreme confidence...

Look out, he's an animal, that can't be stopped.

She's electric

2008-03-08T08:55:00.000-08:00

Remember when naps were mandatory?

2008-03-06T11:41:00.000-08:00

I wish there was some way to let them know that someday they would give ANYTHING for a mandatory one hour nap in the middle of the day. I dont think it would stop them from fighting it though.

Is it wrong to be jealous?

Roschs: teachers of important things in life.

2008-03-04T07:41:00.000-08:00

Well, it has been rather uneventful around here lately. But I guess there are a few things that need updating. Like the new obsession at the Rosch household with being naked. These babies are naked all the time...

We even got Isabella started on it early.

We are also teaching Bella to climb on all the furniture.

And to squirm in your high chair.

I know, we are such great influences. You are welcome, Shawna, no thanks needed.

And what are the Dads doing while all this fun learning is going on? Well they surely arent geeking out on their phones.

Those crazy kids

2008-03-03T21:15:00.000-08:00

I know, I know (yes, im talking to you, Ashley). Im so hot and cold updating this thing. So here is a quick couple pictures, cause I haven't uploaded my pictures from the weekend yet. So more tomorrow, I promise.

Happy Birthday to another brother.

2008-02-17T19:12:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to my brother David as well.

We love you too!

For the love of Speghetti!!

2008-02-15T12:11:00.000-08:00

The Softie and the Daredevil... Part Duex

2008-02-15T12:09:00.000-08:00

February heat wave

2008-02-13T15:15:00.000-08:00

For some reason, it was ridiculously hot out today. So, although Brody has caught the cold that Brian brought home last week, we couldnt help but spend most of the afternoon outside. Everyone enjoyed the nice weather.

Brody: "Mommy, take picture Brody baseball"

See how warm it is? Brody has a fever and a runny nose and he is outside without even a jacket.

Wicket and Jisun are staying with us this week cause Ji is working at a branch that is about 40 minutes from her house and about 5 minutes from our house. So Wicket is running this household. Cesar Milan would say that she is "establishing dominance."

See how afraid of her Titan and Chase look?

This is my attempt at documenting the fact that I am still alive, and healthy. Even if my hair looks like a crazy lady's.

We are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow tonight. It sure doesnt feel like it right now.

Anthony James...

2008-02-13T06:17:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to you... As hard as we try not to, we love you.

(Please note: Remember that slight mishap with my hard drive? So I only have a select few photos to choose from. This is from our wedding with one of our beautiful flower girls, Datin.)

Sick Daddy...

2008-02-11T07:06:00.000-08:00

Im sure he is glad that he stayed home...

The Softie and the Daredevil...

2008-02-06T16:51:00.000-08:00

Brody is such a lover. He laid with Tyson in his bed most of the weekend. And he tries to get Titan, or Ava, or both to take naps with him. But no one will yet. If he keeps trying...

This child is going to be the death of me... Just look at her. She isnt afraid of anything. At 1 year. Whats gonna happen when she is 8? 10? 13?!?!?! Im in trouble.

First of all... What in the hell is a blog bug?

2008-02-05T07:05:00.000-08:00

So, Mrs. Aoki has "tagged" me. Which is like a blog chain letter. So, here is about my husband:

What is his name? Brian Vinton Rosch

How long have you been married? 3 1/2 years.

How long did you date? 4 years.

How old is he? He will be 30 this year.

Who eats more sweets? I would say him. But he would probably say me. We really don't eat many sweets.

Who said I love you first? Brian

Who is taller? Brian

Who can sing better? Cause we often serenade each other.

Who is smarter? Me. But Brian works harder.

Who does the laundry? Me.

Who pays the bills? Me.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Brian. I make him sleep closest to the door.

Who mows the lawn? Im allergic to the outdoors. So Brian mows the lawn.

Who cooks dinner? Me.

Who drives? Brian. I almost NEVER drive. I hate it. And if we are going on a road trip you can bet I will only drive for about 2 hours before Im about to fall asleep.

Who is more stubborn? I wanna say that we are both pretty flexible. But my gut is telling me that Im more stubborn.

Who kissed who first? Brian kissed me. And let me tell you, it was awkward.

Who asked who out first? Brian asked me. Five minutes before he was hypnotized.

Who proposed? Brian. At mile marker 215, on the side of I-70 on Leap Day, Febraury 29, 2004. Knee in the snow and everything. Just imagine that you are driving down I-70 in the snow and 2 people are hugging and crying on the side of the road cause they just got engaged. Again, awkward.

Who has more siblings? Equal.

Who wears the pants? Me. I mean, if we are just being honest here.

What are 4 great things about your husband?

1. He is often the life of the party. Aint no party like a Brian party, cause a Brian party dont stop.
2. Brian would literally do anything for anyone. He is trusting and faithful unless he is given a reason not to be.
3. Brian is the most genuine person I know. What you see is really what you get. There is never any hidden agenda with him.
4. He works harder than anyone I have ever known.

Am I supposed to add one? I dont know so here it is:

What is one thing you wish your husband knew that he doesnt? Brian is MUCH smarter than he gives himself credit for.

And now, Im supposed to tag someone. But since I dont know anyone else that has a blog. Or do I? I am tagging Mrs. Shawna Heck. And you better do it, or I will BLOG BUG (WTF?) you!!

Now that was so sappy and mushy that I am going to go throw up now. Excuse me.

This is Wednesday... Just go with it.

2008-01-31T09:57:00.001-08:00

*sigh.....*

Between the dogs getting in the trash, potty training Brody, and thinking for about half a day that I may as well potty train Ava while Im at it (turned out to be the worst idea I have ever EVER had), I feel like I need a constant shower. And my house needs a serious cleaning. Anyone?

I guess all I can do is keep on keepin' on.

This is Monday..

2008-01-28T17:53:00.000-08:00

We ran to the store and when we got home I set Ava down to take off our shoes and coats. And when I turned around this is what I saw. Comfy.

Please ignore my super dirty carpet.

And on a completely seperate note...

Lord help me...

Yes, he is wearing Ava's leggings. Of course, I decided to do this in January. In the middle of winter. His little legs were cold. But Im not gonna fight pants every 10 minutes.

Saturday Walk...

2008-01-27T15:09:00.000-08:00

Finally, its been warm enough to go outside for a little while.

See Ya!

Work, pj's and motorcycles.

2008-01-21T08:36:00.000-08:00

Brody walked up to me dressed like this today and informed me that he was going to work.

Work is the new cool thing since that is where Daddy is everyday. At least he is wearing two ties. I think it shows more initiative.

It's only like 7 degrees here. I dont think we are going to get out of our pajamas today.

Brian got new plastics and graphics for his bike and put them on last night. Here is the before shot:

Here is the after shot:

He couldn't be more proud of it right now.

Jump Street

2008-01-18T12:33:00.001-08:00

We went to Jump Street today. Which is basically a HUGE room filled completely with trampolines. Which is pretty much Brian's dream come true. Unfortunately, he couldn't come. But we had a great time. There was so much to jump on, and crawl on, and slide down.
Here are some highlights from the day. I apologize that the pictures are so crappy. It was impossible to take pictures in there with all the bounciness.

This is probably the worst picture of all. But you can see how huge this place was with all the trampolines.

This car was Ava's favorite thing. She would get so mad when I took her out of it. And everytime I lost sight of where she was I could find her trying to climb into it.

There are even trampolines lined up against the wall. It's the perfect place to let your kids go and watch them bounce off the walls.

It was really staticy in there too. And Ava's hair was standing on end the whole time.

Because Ava is new at this walking thing it was a little cruel to put her on a trampoline with kids jumping everywhere. She would stand up then immediately fall down again. Eventually she just gave up and laid there while everyone else bounced her up and down.

Would you like a kiss from Ava?

2008-01-17T15:59:00.000-08:00

Who wouldn't? I'm not sure where she learned this.

Brody: NO MORE, PLEASE!!!

At least they love each other. Today.

This will be so much easier when I have my computer back...

2008-01-16T07:46:00.001-08:00

Questions...

Who is too cute for words?

And..

Who is too cool for school?

Sigh

2008-01-09T07:00:00.000-08:00

Well, my third child (my Powerbook G4) has started rebelling. It has to make an emergency trip to the Mac hospital for replacement HARD DRIVE surgery. Yup, thats right. HARD DRIVE.

Of course I dont have anything backed up. I have never had a hard drive go bad on me. Lesson learned. But in the meantime. Everything is gone. Pictures, music, work. So, by the advice of my dad I will be investing in an external hard drive and back up my LIFE every... hour? Maybe half hour.

Oy. So if you happen to have any pictures of our wedding, when Brody and Ava were born, I would really appreciate you sending them our way.

This is 80's sweater, 2007 kind of stuff. Maybe 2008 starts in February? Hopefully.

BFFs forever???

2008-01-03T19:49:00.000-08:00

Ava and Bella are more and more interested in each other every time they see each other. It's the beginning of a beautiful thing.

Izzie + Vava = BFF forever...

Vava 2 Izzie ---> L.Y.L.A.S.

It's been an 80's sweater kind of year...

2007-12-31T11:23:00.000-08:00

As in tired, overworked, ugly, and smelling like old people and cheese. (Yeah, I dont know. That didnt make any sense, but we look hot in our sweaters!! Thanks to Daren Kevin Freeman for providing the hotness.)

Time for something new and more up to date.

Happy New Years to you!!!

Oh, Christmas..

2007-12-28T11:32:00.000-08:00

For Christmas this year, we went to Dad and Jen's condo in Copper Mountain. We has a great time. We got to snowboard a lot, which was great fun for Brian and I.

Here was the scene Christmas morning in the condo...

Amoung many, MANY other things, Ava got a bouncy Zebra, which they both love very much.

And Brody got this ridiculously huge play fort that now looks like this in our dining room. Where to put it for permanant play? Ideas?

On Christmas Day we went tubing. Brody had a great time. Ava and I had to turn in early since she was getting over a cold and NOT happy about spending time outside in 10 degree weather bundled up like a snowman.

Here is Dad and Brody...

This is the one time I got to go with Jen, David, and Brody...

And this is a leftover picture from Ava on her birthday. Look at that face... priceless.

Hope your holiday was as great as ours was.

365 days...

2007-12-12T07:57:00.000-08:00

365 days ago I looked like this... and let me tell you, I miss it terribly.

I went for a walk, and (skipping all the nasty details) four hours later we had this...

365 days later, she looks like this...

We love you Ava Jane... Happy Birthday. She says.. "Thats enough, Mom, I dont have time for this, Im outta here."

Today is also the birthday of our beloved Lisa Kay. Happy Birthday to you too, Lisa Kay. We love you too.

And with that I think the birthday rush is over.... For now.

5-0!!

2007-12-11T10:34:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!! We love you...

Brody's bird

2007-12-07T08:04:00.000-08:00

Well, after The Aoki's Bird incident the strangest thing happened...

Brian opened the front door and the bird that has been living in OUR wreath flew in and made himself at home.

We also looked like idiots running around the house trying to scare him out the door. But in the end our bird wast so lucky. We tried to throw a towel over his so we could pick him up and take him outside. But in our efforts we accidentally smacked him against the wall and he fell. He just sat there while we picked him up and took him outside. He sat in the same spot for the rest of the night where he died. It was very sad.

We went to The Children's Museum today

2007-12-02T16:45:00.000-08:00

I'd like to start by saying that in general I dislike all children other than my own, and, of course, those of my friends and family. All kids that I don't know seem to be dirty and badly behaved. I wonder why that is.

And on to the activities...

We crawled around like ants...

Smelled fake flowers...

Painted works of art...

Kissed adorable babies...

And finished the day with a game of hoops...

Overall, a good time had by all.

I think Im in trouble...

2007-11-29T18:09:00.000-08:00

Brody was so excited to watch these motorcycle videos. And had to be sitting on his motorcycle while watching it. We had to watch them over and over or else we were faced with that two year old tantrum that he saves for things that he really cares about.

I know its early to see Santa, but...

2007-11-27T14:28:00.000-08:00

Now I dont have to go when its crazy busy in December.

Last year we went on Christmas Eve. HUGE mistake. We waited in line for an hour. Of course waiting in line for that long, Brody was in a terrific mood by the time we saw Santa. Can you tell? Ava didnt care. She was only a couple weeks old. That poor Santa. You can see the desperation in his eyes. I really felt sorry for him.

Today, there was no line. We walked right in to see the big man. And he (as well as the photography help) was all smiles, and pleased to help us. Brody actually knew who Santa was, so he tolerated sitting on his lap. For three pictures. This was the best. Ava looks about as amused as she was last year.

Note to self... ALWAYS get the Santa pictures done before December. ALWAYS...

Thanksgiving 2007

I am realizing that I am really bad at taking pictures. We had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Rosch for the whole weekend, a visit from Nana, Papa, Pam, and Pearl, and we went to Dad and Jen's house for Thanksgiving day. And all I have to show for it is a couple of pictures with Nana and Papa...

Sorry everybody!! Thanks so much for coming to visit us, I promise to do better next time.

These were the only other 2 pictures that I had on my camera for the past 2 weeks. I thought I would add them for some extra cuteness..

We carved our pumpkin today. I think he turned out quite nice. As you can tell, Ava didnt really want anything to do with it.

Hey guys, whats for dinner?

It has been so cool here lately. Great walking weather. We love fall.

He is already doing wheelies on his bike, and loves when Daddy goes fast. I am in a world of trouble with this one.

Brody is showing Ava his favorite spot in the kitchen. I came in and found them both inside this cabinet with my containers all over the floor.

It seems like I have seen this scenario somewhere else before....
Look at all that hair...

Practice makes perfect...
