Happy Birthday Daddy!

Rob's 30th birthday is today! We had his family party last night...I enjoy comparing pictures from a year ago right now so...here are a few from last year when Austin wasn't quite two weeks old and this year!



Austin was Daddy's best present last year...

Same place...a little different looking though! Austin's a bit bigger and I think Rob and I look a little more rested!

Can I play you a birthday song Daddy?


Last year, me, Paul, Austin, and Abigail helping Rob blow his candles out...

This year, same group, although Austin was really trying to get his hands into the cake!

Austin having a little leftover of his birthday ice cream cake along with the rest of us. No peanut butter blizzard cake for Austin yet! Needless to say, he's a big fan of ice cream cake!

Hanging with the Arthurs...

Jenelle, one of my best friends, and her two boys Owen and Ian came to visit yesterday...they were unable to come to Austin's birthday party because of the weather so we had lunch yesterday and played!! It was so fun to see them and catch up! Austin and Ian are only 6 weeks apart so if we have anything to say about it, they will be the best of friends too!!


Austin, Ian, and Owen playing!

They gave Austin a drum for his birthday which just might be his favorite present!

Jenelle and I less than 48 hours before Austin was born!


Now a year later with our two boys!! Luckily, we are a bit skinnier!!!

Rockies home opener!!

I was so excited to head the my first Rockies home opener this year!! What a perfect day!! Rob, Austin, and I went with my parents to the game and then we all headed to Houston's for dinner afterward. Houston's is my FAVORITE restaurant and they finally opened one in Denver.

The game was a blast. Austin was a little unsure at first with all the noise but quickly adjusted and did great!! It was fun to see all the festivities and the Rockies won to top it off!



Opening festivities!

Austin and me waiting for the game to start!

Checking out the game with Daddy...


Daddy, can I please have some of your hot dog??

Austin's 1st birthday party!

Austin's 1st birthday party was a blast!! We had it at MY GYM which was perfect as Austin loves it there!! Thanks for everyone for coming!! We are so glad you were able to celebrate with us...there are so many pictures but here are a few of the highlights!!


Austin with cousins Paul and Abigail...let's get this party started!

All the kids listening for the rules to the game...

Austin during the birthday march...he wasn't so sure about it but once he started moving in the wagon he was better!


All the kids before cake...bring it on!

Austin thinks we're crazy when singing the birthday song!

Back at our house for pizza...hanging with both Grandma Hunt and Grandma Leaycraft

Austin LOVES his Daddy!! We had a showing on Sunday so we took Daddy lunch...which was perfect as the course was closed because of the snow and he was doing inventory!!!


What do you think about these golf balls, Daddy??

Here, I'll help you scan the inventory Daddy!
