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!

City park pool

City park by our house has this amazing water park that the kiddos love! Cooper had such a blast that I didn't hear a peep out of him for almost three hours! We are having so much fun here! There are just endless things to do here- and most of them are free! It is so family friendly here and there are so many kids for us to play with. We absolutely love it here!

We love summer!

There is this really great park by our house that has a little water area. It is so beautiful- it overlooks the lake and has a great sand box! Cooper loves the waterfall, streams and tunnel.

Our new house!!

Well, our house is officially "under contract!" We are SO excited! We love the neighborhood so much and have a HUGE backyard (well, it backs to a huge open space that is public to our neighborhood) we are right across the street from miles of running trails and an adorable park. We are walking distance to three parks, the pool and a new elementary school! I will post more pictures of the inside when we get it painted and all decorated.

Joe's new job.. ha ha

We went to this adorable little park and Zoo by our house and Joe found his new calling in life- Forget human teeth- these are much bigger and easier to work on! Ha ha. Cooper had a blast looking at all the animals and making their sounds. He loved the big tractor too!

Josie baby...

OK already!! Here are some recent pics of Josie...

Fort Collins!!!

We finally made it here... after SO many things going wrong we were starting to question wheather we were making the right decision. But all went well after we finally hit the road and just went for it. We had to break the trip up into 3 legs for the kids but they did great in the car as we timed it with their naps and only had to watch Finding Nemo about 10 times!! Besides Cooper and Josie NOT sleeping at all in the hotel and us not getting a wink either everything worked out. We got here Tuesday at noon and Joe moved all our stuff in with a little help from some guys while I took the kids and got out of the way.
We LOVE it here!! We are walking distance to three parks, a pool and a brand new elementary school! There are miles of running trails right outside our front door and endless things to do! We are all having so much fun exploring and meeting new people. It's so great to have so much shopping and great resturaunts right up the street too! Here are some pics of our neighborhood... enjoy!

Hanging out...

We had a big BBQ with our friends and family a few days before we left and here we are just hanging out...

Josie Blessing...

Here is our little cutie in her blessing dress... isn't she beautiful?

LAKE TAHOE!!!

It

It was so beautiful outside that a bunch of us decided to hit Lake Tahoe one last time before we left- and we're SO glad we did, it was a perfect day! We went with a bunch of our freinds whom all have kids the same age so it was fun (and a little challenging at times :)
