Summer Update 1 of ? : Breckenridge, CO

Now that we have unpacked for our vacations this summer, Bill is back to work and we are settling into a routine, it's time to catch up on blogs!

We will begin at the beginning of summer and hopefully get everyone caught up soon!

We went to Breckenridge (in the mountains here in Colorado and also where we honeymooned!) with my parents and Bill's parents. Bill and I own at the timeshare we stayed at and my parents and his parents were able to trade their weeks for a week with us! So we had three separate rooms and were able to spend a ton of time together just hanging out on vacation.

Here are the highlights (in no order!)

Our smiley boy!

David was falling asleep in his chair so Grandma Joy
took the opportunity to snuggle her boy!

I think we were waiting for the bus.
There was a shuttle bus that took us anywhere in town
and it was David's favorite part (that and the pool).
There was one day my parents had him
and they just stayed on the bus and
road around town!

We had to document everything...
including mom highlighting my hair!

I love this picture!

There was a kid's area downtown with a slide.
David had a blast!

Cute Grandma and Dandad
(aka Momma Joy and Daddy Dan!)

The whole group!

The best picture we could get of the four of us.
David is not into sitting still for pictures.
The boys are in their matching outfits from
Grandma Joy and Dandad!

The boys in the tub!


More matching shirts from my parents!
It's so fun to have them in sizes where we
can match!

Love it!

One of the many great parts of driving to
our vacation spot is being able to bring
extra toys for the boys. We brought
David's train set, which Liam LOVES to watch
(and is starting grab for)

Happy 2nd Birthday, David!!

David turned 2 on May 16th!
We are so very blessed to have this little man as a huge part of our lives!
Happy birthday, little bear!!

The birthday boy with his birthday sticker
and tractor from Aunt Sonnie and Uncle Dick!
I took it upon myself to make David's birthday cake!
Here's Lightening McQueen (after a bump to the mouth!)
David loved his "go-go" cake!

Liam first set of friends...
we couldn't ask for anyone better!

Anything car...or truck...or tractor...or anything that flies
was a big hit this year!

We are SO thankful Ronnie and Gayle could make it!
Here's Gayle getting some lovin' from our cuddler!
A "go-go" pillow!
Who could ask for more!!

Happy Father's Day!

When I married you, I knew you'd be a great dad to our children.
What I didn't know, was just HOW great a dad you would be.

Two years ago you held this tiny miracle on your chest
to warm him when he couldn't warm himself.

He wants nothing more than to be close to you still.

Six months ago, you helped this small wonder
get healthy so we could bring him home.

And today, he smiles every time he sees you.

Our boys have the biggest blessing of all...

YOU for their DADDY!

Thank you for being the man to show our boys
how to be men of God.

I love you.

Catch up time...

I know it's been well over a month since I've really blogged (besides the pictures here and there!).

So here's a update:

*Bill is done with work for the summer! YEAH! It's been WONDERFUL having him home. David has become incredibly attached to his daddy and wants to make sure daddy goes everywhere he goes! He gets very sad when we leave without daddy - it's heart breaking :(

* The boys and I walk 3 times a week with some of the mom's from the group I attend during the school year. It's been great getting to know the other families better!

* David is growing like a weed! He's 35 inches tall (50th percentile) and weighs 26 lbs (20-something percentile). He eats everything we eat and LOVES fruit! We sometimes wait to give it to him until he eats the rest of his meal! Can't complain about that!!

* Liam is getting bigger and stronger every day! He's rolling over both ways and we often find him far away from where we laid him down! Almost time to put the gate up on the stairs again! He sits up and is loving this new view of his world!

*As of last night, the boys are now sharing a room! We a two bedroom house, we had to wait until Liam was sleeping through the night AND the boys were waking up about the same time before we could move Liam out of our room! Now our laundry might get put away in a timely manner (kind of hard to put stuff away in the dark with a sleeping baby!)

The next 2 weeks of posts will be pictures from our adventures over the last month!

Enjoy!
