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....

FIRST STEPS!!!!!!!!

Austin took his first steps yesterday!!!!! YEAH!!! Finally!! Both Rob and I were here for it so it couldn't have been more perfect! He walked back and forth between us multiply times so we're sure our lives are over once again as we know them!!

Rob got this one as he was going down!!

We think he'll be running soon!!

What a big boy!!!
We're so proud of you, Austin!!!

4th of July in Estes!!

Rob, Austin, and I headed up to Estes last Wednesday night. Austin and I went up for a long weekend while Rob had to leave Friday morning. We had a fun family day the three of us on Thursday and Rob and I were also able to have a date night!! Austin and I stayed in Estes and celebrated the 4th!


Where did that hummingbird go??

We walked down to the driving range and Austin got his first lesson!!

A family picture at the Browns! It's hard to believe it's been 9 years since Rob and I met on the 4th at the Browns!!


Uncle Ray-Ray and Aunt Juju with us!



Little man and me waiting for the parade to start at the YMCA! We rode in the parade in Grandpa Leaycraft's model A!

I love this picture of my parents!

We got to hang out with Heather and Caleb on Friday! Heather and I went to CSU together and I hadn't seen her in about 5 years! It was fun to catch up and meet Caleb...we're going to get together again SOON!!!!

Austin and Caleb giving each other a little love!
