June 2010

I really have been trying to take a picture and find something wonderful each day.  The problem now becomes actually posting all these great pics and experiences.  So here is the month of June:

Jayce loves it when Shaden shares his yogurt.

Chris and the boys playing.

We took the boys swimming in the apartment complex pool.  Shaden loved it.  He started to get brave and was sort of jumping from the step to Chris.

We bought new desks.  Here is Chris eating ice cream at his.

Chris bought me a Kindle for Mother's Day and my birthday.  We decided to go with the Kindle over the ipad because I wanted it to read books and the Kindle isn't backlit and the Kindle was half the price of the ipad.  We have no more room in our place for more books and the boys keep taking the books we have on bookshelves out.  I LOVE the Kindle.  Also, Amazon has awesome customer service.  We purchased the Kindle a week before they lowered the price, so I called up and they gave me a refund for the difference with no problem.  I was off the phone within 5 minutes.

Shaden says he is "SO Cool" in his sunglasses.

No paparazzi please.

Chris and I went to the Homecoming Ball for his battalion.  Everyone looked amazing, the food was great, and we had a lot of fun.

Shaden likes to try and pick up Jayce.  Jayce isn't too thrilled with this.

Some interior shots of our new car.  We were picking up some stuff left at my grandparents' house.

Jayce found one of the Mr. Potato Head's mouth pieces.

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!  So much fun!  A very interactive zoo.  Shaden fed the giraffes and got to hold a baby kangaroo.  Shaden loved the baby Orangutan.

  Those are some of the fun things that happened during June.

Little Things- Days ??????

Okay, its almost a month later.  Life got busy this last month.  I will post some more pics in a little bit, but for now here is a bit of what's been going on...

-We upgraded our car!  A "used" 2010 Ford Flex Limited.  Dark Midnight Blue.  LOVE IT!  Seats 7.
-Jayce got his first 2 teeth and has decided baby food is boring and only wants the food we eat or a bottle.
-Shaden tells us "I'm Fine!" when he falls down.  He loves to dance.  He isn't too sure he likes that Jayce can get around now.
-We went to the Military Homecoming Ball.  It was fun and the soldiers look sharp in their dress uniforms and the ladies look beautiful in their fancy dresses.

Family naptime.
Jayce is on part of my lap.  Chris's head is on the other part.  And Shaden is on Chris's chest.

While car shopping Shaden told the dealer "I LOVE Balloons!"  So he got one.  It was one of his first complete sentences.  :)

Little Things- Day 28

I didn't take pictures for a few days, but on Memorial Day we went to another barbeque up in Denver. It was with friends of mine from high school. It was fun to visit with them and hear what amazing things they were all doing with their lives. Thanks again to Joanna and her parents for the invite and the terrific Bison Burgers. Yum!

Little Things- Day 27

We went up to my parents' house for a barbecue. The boys love to play outside and it was such a nice day.







Funny little story... For Shaden's 1st birthday my parents got him a little ATV, then for Christmas they got him a powered one. He took one ride on the powered one, screamed, and wouldn't go near either one for a few months. When the weather started to warm up he decided the non-powered one was great again. Now he tells us that the powered one is Jayce's ATV. If we ask if he wants to ride it he says, "No. Jayce ride ATV."

We went to Sam's and after putting away the groceries the boys decided to play in one of the boxes.
At the bottom of the box it reads "Always Cage Free." :)

Our patio is a nice place to go and sit outside... and eat rocks.

Still Here

Yes, I am still here and I have been taking my pictures each day. I just haven't gotten a chance to post. And now I have a head cold so I'm going to bed. Pics to be posted soon.
