All ye faithful

For all my faithful followers, I'm sorry about the week of zero posts! I've been feeling unwell, the weekend was insane, and I have a graduate project due. Oh yes, and I have a mobile baby. Phew.

To make sure you haven't forgotten this sweet baby girl, allow me to tide you over with a few recent photos until I can get my rhythm back!

Breckenridge Day 4

Okay, phew, another very busy day, only on less sleep. Wee Clara Beth has 2 teeth trying to break the skin, and she is NOT a fan. Her discomfort really kicked in last night. Mom has been such a trooper and the most amazing help. She even let Clara sleep on her for a while last night, bless her.

Once we got up this morning, I went to the Spa because Bryan booked me massage!!! Ahhhh-mazing. Really. Gosh that felt good.

The Mom got a facial that was her thank you gift from Bryan and I for all of her help this trip.

Shameless pampered selfie!

Once she got back we made lunch and then sweet baby girl fell asleep on me for a very short nap (~30min). I don't know how this little chica is functioning on so little sleep!

Mmmm, strawberry yogurt :)

Snuggles and snoozes

Once she woke up, we caught the shuffle to the gondola!! It was neat! (And free!)

Clara loved the ride up, and did fine at the top of the mountain, but as soon as we started down she decided she was DONE. Bless her heart, everything was wrong in her world until we got back, poor baby. 

Pictures never do scenery justice

Top of the mountain:

 

Silly faces!

The trip back down was no fun.

"Vacationing is hard work and I'm tired!"

While we waited for the shuttle, we decided to see what Clara Beth thought of snow. Enjoy the next few pictures as you find out what her thoughts are. 

Huh.

Uhhh...

Pick me up NOW!!

We got back to the condo and played around a little while. 

Then we shuttled out to Breck Stables to take a sleigh ride! Again, Clara loves the first half and then cried the rest of the way. Vacationing is hard when you're a baby.

Love this duo

All 4 of us!

Double fisting hot cocoa, yumm

 

 

 

Once we got off and waited for the shuttle, Clara got a little cold, a little sleepy, and her teeth were hurting her, poor thing.

Getting pretty sleepy...

This isn't fun anymore!!

Then Mom volunteered to watch baby girl so Bryan and I could have dinner together! So sweet! Thank you again!

We hit up Bubba Gump since I really enjoy that restaurant but we don't have one near us. Sad times.

 

Back at the condo we are packed up, ready to catch the crazy early shuttle to Denver tomorrow morning! 

Until tomorrow!

Breckinridge Day 3

After getting up 4 times last night Clara was ready to go this morning. And after 12 straight hours of uninterrupted sleep Bryan was too! I think Mom and I felt slightly less rested, but still not bad.

Bryan got his gear on and hit the slopes! He loves skiing. I'm so proud of him for trying a new skill and giving it his best.

I decided to not irritate the arthritis and hung out with my Mom & baby girl today. It took me a while to reach that decision, but I think both Bryan & my Mom were relieved.

 

After a VERY brief nap (30 minutes), little miss decided she'd rather play than sleep on vacation. Can you blame her? So Mom & I decided to return my ski equipment and see a little of the town.

My now EIGHT month old (as of yesterday) all bundled up:

After returning my skis and boots, we hung out at the ski lift hoping to catch sight of Bryan.

3 generations in the snow :)

And we did! We ran into Bryan, Eric and Tyler!

Love :)

The Saliks and Bryan decided to join us for lunch. While we were waiting, we did a little shopping and I found this hat!

We had lunch at a place called Eric's, and it was delicious!!!

Mom & Clara Beth

Eric & Jamie

What does this look like!?!?

Disclaimer: There were no babies harmed in the taking of the above picture.

She was no longer in the suit. This just happened to be where it was set while we got settled and cracked us up.

Mmmmm carrots

Another hat purchase can be seen on the little miss' head:

While waiting for the shuttle to take us back to the lodge, we took a few photos.

 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

Bryan went to ski some more and I *tried* to get Clara to take a nap. It lasted all of 20 minutes. Doh!

Then it was bath time.

She heard the water running and crawled right to it!

In the big girl tub all by herself!!

She was really cranky (maybe because of the incredibly short naps today), so Bryan and I took her swimming.

 

Then it was back upstairs to eat some (thankfully) warm chili and put the babies to bed. Now Bryan is soaking in the hot tub and I'm blogging away. It's been a great trip so far! I can't believe how fast it's going.
