Enjoying the last of summer...

We love to eat out on our patio and we are SO enjoying the semi-cooler weather lately. Cooper always wants to eat outside- he loves to watch the cars and big trucks go by.

Josie's room...

As promised... here is Josie's room finally! It has taken me so long to get the kids rooms finished... between trips, unpacking, watching the kids, and my insane inability to focus and finish a project I am surprised it's almost finished! It took me a while to do the bedding (when you only have 1/2 hour here and 1/2 hour there- everything takes a while!) But all in all I am pleased with it and it turned out pretty cute I think. I still want to put up some bead board and a chair rail and fix the curtains and change the sheets to cream... blah blah. COMING SOON- Cooper's room.

Sew cute!

In an effort to work from home I have decided to do a little sewing on the side. I am just practicing for now and Josie gets to be my guinnee pig! These are some simple pants I made. I am hoping to make some really cute bags, aprons, pants and pillows. So hopefully soon I will be good enough to sell my stuff... better get practicing!

Cooper and Jude... playdate

Cooper loves his new friend Jude-he's tough just like Cooper and that's hard to find! So they play in the mud, wrestle and play rough and I don't have to worry about someone getting hurt! It's great! Here we are at Jude's house playing in the pool/mud and eating lunch. And Josie is just loving watching her crazy brother.

10 year reunion!!

Recently I went to Cali for my TEN YEAR REUNION!!! It was SO much fun! Nobody has changed and everyone was so nice- it was great. We ate good food, visited and danced- something I haven't done it years! I also visited with my family and they got to see Josie.

Daddy, daughter time...

Joe was playing the guitar and Josie decided to join him. They were SO cute! It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen... They just both looked so calm and happy.

Joe's Company picnic

Joe's company rented out a pavillion and the train at City park. It was really cute and they had great food- Mexican! The picnic only lasted an hour or so before the rain set in... too bad.

Fort Collins storm...

Ok. This is the WORST rain I have ever been in! I'm sure it was record breaking. We could see only about 10 feet in front of us- most everyone was pulled off to the side of the road with their hazards on. It was scary! This picture is right behind our house. Of course, it just happened to be the night of Joe's company picnic!

Some art work...

Here is some cute art work I did for Josie's room. It turned out really great and I am so excited for her room to come together! Photos of both the kids rooms coming soon... I know you just can't wait.

Just hanging out...

Josie looked too cute today so I decided to take some pictures of her. She is still happy and sweet as ever. The only way I can do her hair anymore is a ponytail- it's getting so long! She has started to roll over and everytime I put her on her back she wants to sit up. So we're working on it. Cooper joined in toward the end...

Denver Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium today with our church playgroup. It was really fun and Cooper loved the sharks! The drive wasn't too bad and we had a great turnout. The aquarium itself was pretty good. Mostly tons of different kinds of fish and a few sharks. There was a HUGE crab that I thought was the coolest part.

Julie's wedding...

We took a road trip to Utah and the kids actually did really well for the 7 hour car ride. Joe's sister- Julie was getting married in Solitude and it was SO beautiful! The mountains are SO gorgeous there! It really makes me miss Utah- ok, I'm done missing it. We had such a blast with Joe's family and just enjoying the vacation and time in the mountains. The wedding was beautiful and Joe's mom made Josie the cutest little dress! We all stayed in one big condo together and it was really fun. Cooper slept in the bathroom and Josie slept with just her diaper on. It was SO hot and we had no air conditioning! But regardless- it was still really fun. The next day we rode the lift up to the top of the mountain and just hiked around for a minute. Coopers favorite part about the trip- the water slide that he did all by himself!

Josie girl...

Josie is still the sweetest thing ever. She is starting to try and roll over and sit up so it should be soon here... Cooper is taking his diaper off every ten minutes and sitting on the toilet. We are going to start potty training as soon as we move. I wish it was sooner because every time I turn around he has all his clothes off and has peed on the floor!

Cooling off...

It's been pretty hot here these last couple weeks so we have been flocking to any water we can find! Here we are at the neighborhood pool by our house. It felt so great to get in the water and cool off! Josie is just SO adorable in her little bathing suite! Cooper just LOVES the water and he is getting really good at going under and jumping!

Singing time...

They have these free concerts downtown almost everyday and on Tuesday they play kids music so we head over there with a few friends sometimes and listen to the music and chill. Cooper loves to play in the water features they have that squirt up and all over the place so you never when you will get sprayed!
