I said I'm proud to be....and Reece's 1st birthday!

Labor Day weekend was a busy one...Rockies game Friday, train museum Saturday, CSU vs CU game and Reece's first birthday party on Sunday!! But it was oh so fun!!

I said I'm proud to be a CSU Ram!!

Reece, our goddaughter's 1st birthday!!

Could she be any cuter?!?!?


Always the smiler!! We love you Reecey!

Austin played in the sand...

Whew! What a day!! All worn out...all this play is hard work! Mommy enjoyed her cuddle time with me too!

Aunt Nicole and Nyah cuddling too!

Train museum...

The day after we went to the Rockies game with Rob's family, Austin and I headed to the train museum with Grandpa Hunt and cousin Paul!

Take me out to the ballgame....

The Rockies will always have a special place in our hearts...the day we found out we were expecting Austin, we'd gone to a Rockies game!! Last year, we took him to his first game on the "anniversary" of us finding out. This year we had to postpone it for a couple of weeks and then we got to go twice! We had a family afternoon one Thursday and went and then the next week, we went with Rob's family. Here are some highlights!



Of course, we're prejudiced, but could he be any cuter in a Rockies shirt and hat!

Hanging with cousins Paul and Abigail before the game...

Say cheese!

Love this pic of us...A can barely keep his eyes open....

...and he's out!

This is where he takes after me...being able to fall asleep anywhere!

Family afternoon...now explain this to me again Dad....

Me and my little man!

What a month!

What a month...Austin has gone from walking to running practically!! We closed on our old house on the 17th and were "homeless" for 10 days which meant all of our belongings had to go into PODS. Jack and Bev graciously opened their home to us for the 10 days! We stayed in their basement. Rob played in the Colorado Open and I had the wonderful opportunity to caddy for him for the first time!! I had an AWESOME time and it was fun to spend a little more time with him too! Our goddaughter Reece was baptized at the end of July. And we closed on our new house on July 28th so we've been busy unpacking and getting things set up since! Today was my first day back at school too!


So proud of himself!! Our little walker...I know everyone says not to rush it, but we are so glad he's walking!!

Don't worry, we checked to make sure Austin was out!!

I'm just checking the packing job Mom...why do you seem so worried?!?!?


Hanging out with Grandpa Leaycraft in the POD...

This packing stuff is hard work!!!

Mommy is going to teach me to float on my back if it's the last thing she does!!!!


I LOVE swimming!!!

And I LOVE my Daddy!!

We headed to the ice cream social at Civic Green park, where we met friends Jonathon and Madelyn! And Austin got to sit in the fire truck for the first time....you can tell he was VERY impressed!

Is this the new setup for my highchair?? What more could a guy want!?!?!?!?

I'll load that for you!

CLOSING DAY...on our old house!!! We have a similar picture of Rob and I the day we moved in!

Austin wasn't too sure what to think of all the empty rooms the morning we moved out....

Daddy giving the little man a golf lesson at Jack and Bev's...where we stayed for 10 days! We can never thank them enough!

Look at me!


Look at that grip! How long will it be before he's beating Mommy?? Maybe next summer!

Austin LOVED the sand box at Jack and Bev's! And Jack loved playing with Austin!


He got a lot of baths while we were there....

Jack makes YUMMY ribs!

Bev taught Austin to dust his hand off!

Austin greeting us after the round at the Colorado Open!

Family picture at the Colorado Open! Where I got to caddy for Rob for the first time! Don't I look official!?!?!?

LOVE this shot! Makes my heart melt! I love my men!


Nyah and Reece at Reece's baptism!

What a handsome little man!

Reece, Jason, Nicole, and Nyah

Our little monkey...moving in and climbing boxes!

Where do you think you're going?

Watching a BabyFaith DVD with Grandma Hunt...so he wouldn't climb boxes!

That smile is going to get Austin out of a lot of trouble, we're afraid....
