Memorial Park with Mandy

We headed to Memorial Park this morning for a walk/playtime with my BF Mandy and her girls, Avery and Ashton. It was such a nice cloudy, cool morning to walk around the lake and chat. Afterwards the kids burned some energy on the playground before heading home for lunch (and a 3 hour nap....yay Asher!). Because I'm SO horrible at remembering my camera and actually taking pictures of our lives, click here to see the pics that Mandy posted. (Thanks Mandrea!:))

There's something so nice about spending time with an old friend, one who's known you since you were 14...and still loves you. So comforting and reassuring to be walking through the same stage of life together. Love you Mands!

New Kitchen

For the past couple months we've been eyeing this kitchen and wanting to get it for Asher man. Our good friends have the exact same one and every time we are at their house he heads straight for the kitchen set and plays with it the WHOLE time. He loves it. Well, we finally bought one this week and Mark worked all evening/night to get it set up for our bubba!
Such a good dad

When we brought Asher down the next morning, he immediately spotted it and yelled "that" and ran over to it with a huge smile on his face. He was SO excited...it was precious.

Talking on his new cell phone:

So happy!

Yay for new toys that provide hours of entertainment!!:)

My Boys

I. LOVE. THEM.

OK, OK, I'll Blog

Over the past couple weeks I've had MANY people ask why I've fallen off the face of the blogging world and haven't updated in over two months. Honestly, I don't know why....just haven't really felt like blogging lately.

This summer has been fun, pretty low-key so far, and just a great time of hanging out with friends and family....pools, splash parks, play dates, hiking, BBQ's, visits from friends....we've done it all. We have some great stuff coming up in the next few weeks including my Grandma's 80th Birthday Party this weekend and vacation with Mark's family in a couple weeks. I promise to provide pictures and updates more frequently from here on out!

To get started, here's a few pictures from a family hike we took at the beginning of the summer:

Getting ready to head out
(as you can tell, Asher was really excited to be in the hiking backpack):

The only family picture we got....and my child is picking his nose. Awesome.

Lovin' Colorado and lovin' my hubby!

Silly Bubba!

More to come!
