Mother's Day Hike

To celebrate Mother's Day, Team Hutton went outdoors for a family hike in Boulder County.

It was Piper's first official hike in the backpack. She loved it and did great.

We love you Mommy! Hope you had a great day and appreciated how grateful we are and how much we love you.

Soccer Season

Yesterday, Ryder & Taggart completed another successful Spring soccer season. Both boys teams had great seasons and improved significantly. Personally, Ryder and Tagg continued to enjoy the competition and demonstrate great sportsmanship and teamwork.

Ryder continues to focus on his ball handling and offensive skills. Tagg still loves playing defense and has really mastered the slide tackle.

Piper's 1st Birthday

Our beautiful little baby girl, Piper, turned 1 on Friday.

 Daddy stated it best on Friday morning when he stated the following... "Happy 1st Birthday to our little baby girl, Piper! A year ago, I was told that being a Father changes you forever but being a Father to a Daughter makes you a better man! All three children have so positively impacted me but the last year is extremely special. Love you Piper."

Daddy & Piper

 Mommy is loving every minute... Piper is and will always be a little fashionista. Mommy is certain that Team Hutton and the Hutton household needs less testosterone and will continue to introduce as much girly stuff as possible.

Mommy & Piper

 Piper had a great birthday and weekend. We celebrated with friends and neighbors with lots of kids and energy....Piper loved it. 

We all watched and waited to see if Piper would be interested in her birthday cake. After a few seconds she went for it and didn't stop until the majority of the cake was gone. 

 Then to either spite us or just demonstrate that she was done, she decided to place the plate with what was left of her cake on top of her head.

 When it was all done, we had one really tired little girl who experienced her birthday party the same way she experiences every day....with lots of passion, energy, excitement and love.

Piper's Walking

We don't have any updated photos or a video but Piper took her first consecutive steps yesterday and did it multiple times. Five days short of her 1st birthday and we officially have a walker. More to follow....Or shall I say, more that Mommy & Daddy need to follow.

Easter in Beaver Creek

We had an incredible Spring Break and Easter in Beaver Creek with Nana & Papa Leveque.

After Tagg retired to rest his legs, Ryder decided it was time to take the lead.

Spring Break in Beaver Creek - II

 Tagg had a blast but his little legs got tired...he was one worn out little dude.

Spring Break in Beaver Creek - I

On the first day of our ski vacation, Daddy stayed back with Piper and waited for everyone in Beaver Creek Village so he and Piper could participate in the apres ski. Papa Leveque and Courtney enjoyed skiing together while the boys spent more time practicing in ski school.

Tim & Courtney enjoying the slopes

 On the second day of our ski vacation, Papa Leveque stayed back with Piper so they could pick Nana Leveque up...Allowing Scott & Courtney time away while the boys once again honed their skills in ski school.

Yippee!

On the third day of our ski vacation, Nana Leveque stayed back with Piper allowing Papa Leveque, Daddy, Mommy, Ryder (6) and Taggart (4) to all hit the slopes as a family for the first time (no ski school for the boys!).

We were so excited to be on the mountain as a family and amazed by how good the boys have gotten.

Sweet "P"

Our sweet baby Piper had her first photo shoot...

Sleep Over

Ever since Ryder's new trundle bed arrived he has asked his brother to sleep in his room on Friday and Saturday nights. They are having a blast but not getting much sleep.

Snow Day

 What do you do when you receive seven inches of snow overnight? Head outdoors...At least that's what Ryder and Tagg wanted to do today.

They had a blast playing, sledding, building a snow man and helping Daddy shovel. After all that what else is there to do than to wrestle in the snow. Piper did watch from the window...next year will be a completely different ball game.

Another great day living in Colorado.

Brotherly Love

Ryder taking care of Piper

Piper is so fortunate to have two loving brothers. At any given time, Ryder or Taggart is seen giving her hugs and kisses. This weekend, Piper wasn't feeling well so Ryder took on the big brother duties of giving her love and hoping it made her feel better.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Piper showing off her new shoes. Piper and Mommy have begun a life long journey together that may require multiple trips to the shopping mall. 

Check out Piper's new Shoes

Happy Baby

Piper is always happy and excited to see us after a nap....probably has less to do about us than it does her own desire to not miss out. 

Forget Crawling...I Want to Walk!

Unlike her brothers, Piper seems more interested in standing, cruising and walking than in crawling.

Piper cruisin

We are a little concerned that she is close to becoming real mobile.

Ski vacation with the Cardinal's - II

Bryson, Emery, Ryder and Taggart had a blast in ski school while the Mommy's and Daddy's enjoyed some tranquility in the mountains and on the slopes. We are all looking forward to the next family ski vacation.

The Cardinal's first time on the slopes

The Russell's and King's were in town so Courtney hit the slopes with Sonja and Jeni
