The latest with us.

Things have been pretty darn busy in the McCabe household. Ashlyn is keeping us on our toes now that she has learned to walk, and can just about destroy the entire house in 15 minutes flat.  Mike has been working really hard building is own company. He works at home and only has to leave when he has appointments. Although we love each other dearly and have enjoyed our time in our current apartment we are both anxiously awaiting our lease to be up in August, so we can move into a bigger, more permanent place. That way Mike can make one of the rooms into his office instead of the sofa or kitchen table.  I also decided to add another responsibility by getting a part time job at a gym close to our house.  When I say part time mean it- 5 hours a week!  Just enough to get Ashlyn and I free gym memberships and Mike's is discounted. I teach a few kids fitness classes along with gymnastics, cheer, and dance classes. It has been fun to combine two of my favorite things: teaching and working out.

It has been unusually snowy in Denver this year, and not only that but it has been sticking around too.  There are huge mountainous piles of snow all throughout our complex and they wont go away.  I think those awful Rexburg winters followed us here. Needless to say we are itching for Spring to get here!


Here are a few pictures and videos I took with my phone over the past 2 months.

She is obsessed with the dishwasher. Hopefully it stays that way while she lives under our roof! Ha!

She has turned into quite the cuddler and we are LOVING it!

Mike bought her three Oregon onesies (even though we knew we were having a girl) and he loves dressing her up for game days.  She was his lucky charm because Oregon won the Rose Bowl!

I love that open mouth smile of hers.  Such a happy girl.

Thank goodness for camera phones or else I would have missed many photo opportunities!
