Connor's Train Ride!

Since we celebrated Connor's birthday at Chuck E Cheese's we thought it'd be fun to ride the train downtown to have lunch with Mac on his real birthday! I have to say the train in the middle of the day brings great "people-watching." Luckily, we made it back safe and sound.

Brigham City Utah

Last weekend we hopped into our little Corolla and drove almost 9 hours to see my parents in their new home and new town! We had a great time playing, shopping, eating, building (mostly just Mac) and just enjoying each other's company. The kids did so so well on that long drive and we were VERY thankful for that!

This is my parents' front yard view!
Grandma and Grandpa had lots of fun things for the kids to do.

Can't wait for another visit Mom and Dad!!

Sibling Love

I just love this picture! When they're older and fighting with each other I just will share this with them, so they can see how cute they are together!!! (I'm sure they're really going to love that) ; )

4th of July...a little late

We had a great 4th of July filled with family, friends (Emily's sister Megan and her family), yummy food, train rides, splash park, and FIREWORKS!! It was definitely past the kids' bed times, but very worth it!

Cousins

Can I just say I love having family close by!! Darrin and Emily live here in Denver now and the rest of Mac's family is just a short day drive away. I love to see my kids interact with their sweet cousins and aunts and uncles. I never had cousins my age for one and they didn't live close either. Connor is especially missing his boy cousins (Justin, Ty, Coleman & Caden) in Germany... he's a little outnumbered here. I know he'll have lots of time with them as he gets older though. But, he's a great protector to have around these cute little girls... well most of the time. ; )

Going for a walk to the park with Uncle Jared and Colton and little Gracie.

We'll see how long they'll both be able to fit together!
All 4 grandkids playing at Grandma's house.
I think they're getting a little tired of this pose we do every time they're together.
I just know these three little girls are going to grow up having so much fun together.

The DENVER ZOO

Emily and I took the kids to the zoo a couple of weeks ago and they had a great time! Connor's favorites were the giraffes and elephants. Connor loved the carousel, but Abby was more thrilled to get OFF! She was my little monkey attached and did not let go the whole time.

Big Weekend!

This week we took Connor's training wheels off and after a short 3 days of practicing Connor can now ride his bike on his own! He loves going faster and I'm excited to be able to start running beside him while strolling Abby.
