Casa Bonita!

If you're from Colorado, you get it... going to Casa Bonita is a necessity for a Colorado native. It was the special place my parents would take me and my sister. We have so many fun memories from Casa Bonita, and it was so much fun taking TJ there yesterday.

It was Pa's treat.  That's what he wanted to do for his birthday.  TJ loved playing with the flag at the table that would let the server know we wanted more sopapillas!  And today, he's still talking about the cliff divers saying, "Jump!  Wa-wafall, splash!"  He rode the choo choo train and racing car rides a half a dozen times, and he helped Pa, Ga and Mommy play skee ball.  It was the perfect way to celebrate Pa's birthday.  Daddy had a blast, too, even if he's from California. :)

TJ continues to talk up a storm.  There is nothing this kid doesn't say.  He loves watching the Saints with Daddy and yelling Brees!  and Who Dat!  But right now his favorite thing to do is "Nastics!"  Mommy takes TJ to gymnastics once a week with his friend Jack.  And they both love it!  TJ talks about "nastics" ALL the time!  He does handstands, forward rolls and backward rolls (with Mommy's help.)  He's getting good bouncing and the trampoline, and he's getting the hang of sitting and listening to Coach Brian and waiting his turn at each station.  It's so funny to see how excited he gets!

There's not much else to say... at 20 months old, TJ continues to be a constant joy (minus an occasional temper tantrum) and he makes us laugh and smile every chance he can get!

I've attached a video of the little man.  Ga & Pa bought him a Thomas' ABC's book, and he reads along with Mommy.  Now, he even has the letters memorized up to J!  Enjoy!
