Playing Catch Up!

June - We celebrated fathers day with a fun camping trip up at the "shed", near my home town of Rye. We brought the 4 wheelers and had a fun time riding and just relaxing with our girls.

July - Whew! What a busy month!

4th - We celebrated the fourth by attending the town parade in Monument. It was 2 hours long! The girls loved it, but were exhausted by the time we were done! Then we headed over to our good friends house for a BBQ. It is always fun to sit and catch up with friends! After a good long nap we all headed back into town for the firework show. Olivia has always loved the fireworks and Carley seems to enjoy them too. Carley now ask to see "popits" in the sky.

WE MOVED! WE are now residence of Castle Rock Colorado! It has been a long time coming and the house still has a long way to go, but we are here and working hard to make it home. We loved Monument, especially our neighbors, but I think we will love Castle Rock too!

We had a fun visit from my cousin Stephanie and her family. I was able to take the girls down to Pueblo so that we could have a picnic with them. It is fun to see every one "grown up"!


We took a little trip to Utah to visit my sisters Stacy and Amanda and then to attend a family reunion at Erics parents house. We had a great time at Stacys house! The girls loved swimming with the dogs and playing with baby Amy. They also loved to see aunt Mandy and dig in her purse for gum. The reunion was a ton of fun, especially since the kids are getting old enough to run around and have fun with their cousins. Plus it helps to have older cousins there who enjoy entertaining the younger ones!

Carley celebrated her 2nd birthday on July 30th. She is at such a fun stage! She still insists she is a baby but her tag line would have to be " I do it!" We all went out to Red Robin to celebrate. They brought her a huge ice cream covered in whipped cream and sprinkles and then sang her a song. You should have seen the smile on her face when they put that ice cream in front of her! She and Olivia will share a "flip flop" birthday party sometime this month.

August - For those of you counting I am now 20 weeks pregnant! It sure has gone fast! Last Friday we were able to get our 20 week ultra sound. After lots of waiting for the baby to show us the "goods" we learned that a new little BABY BOY will be joining our family sometime around Christmas! It is going to be different shopping for boy things! WE are excited an truly blessed to adding this little guy to our family.
