4th of July


Here are some pics of the kiddos in their 4th of July outfits. We have all been feeling a bit under the weather the last week or so. It's a nasty bug that has been going through the house. So, we didn't have a very exciting 4th of July. Nate worked and came home sick and I didn't feel great. Nate's parents took the kids out to the park and lunch, luckily it was one of the days Alyssa felt good. We had a picnic with all our neighbors in the culdesac, so that was fun. Alyssa had her first friend sleepover with Morgan that night. Unfortunately she ended up getting sick AGAIN at her house. She made it til about 6am, but that was a bummer :(

Carly { 3 months }


My baby girl is 3 months old! Time is flying. Carly is such a sweet little baby. Besides car rides, she is really happy most of the time. Car rides may be getting a little better, but I'm still not looking forward to the 6 hour trip to Pagosa Springs. She sleeps ok, takes a 45 minutes nap in the moning, a glorious 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon and another cat nap or two in the late afternoon. She sleeps a solid 5-7 hrs straight at night. The one thing I hope will chnage soon is her bedtime. She won't go to bed before 10pm. I put her down at 8 and she wakes up 45 min later. We have tried everything to get her back to sleep, but at this point she just wants to be up another hour. She loves her hands, is drooling like crazy and started giggling. Here is her little photo shoot from today....










A few random pics



I got to meet Devon's baby, Kash, a couple weeks ago. He is so sweet and tiny compared to Carly. They are only 5 weeks apart so they will be good friends.



Mason is really starting to enjoy reading!


Tummy time


Nana's birthday.


The kids have been sick the last couple days. Mason looks pretty sad. I hope they start feeling better, I feel like we always get sick in the summer!





Renaissance Festival



We went to the Renaissance Festival last weekend. Nate and I had never been so we thought we should check it out. It was really hot, but we had a good time. They have tons of food, shows, jousting, a petting zoo, rides etc. Alyssa got to meet the king and queen which was the highlight for her. Mason liked the petting zoo, especially the horse.













Waldo Canyon Fire


These are pictures of the horrible fire from our house. It was absolutely terrible to watch. On Tuesday night we watched from our deck in horror as house after house went up in flames. I just stood there with tears in my eyes praying that God would stop it and keep the firefighters safe. I was thinking, "Can't they do something!", but I know those firefighters worked so hard to save as many properties as they could. They are AMAZING and continue to work 24/7 to put out this fire. I'm so grateful for what God spared in this fire, Glen Eyrie, Garden of the Gods, Nate's parents church(Front Range Alliance) and pray for peace and strength for those who lost everything.
