Swim Date

On July 24th we went swimming with a family from the church we have been attending. They have two little boys one is three and a half and the other is only 5 days older than Will, they love playing together a lot so we have had a lot of play dates.




Will going swimming in his float on land. He doesn't care for the water much but loves playing with his float.








They have this big barrel that fills with water then when it is completely filled it dumps all the water out in a rush. It startles me almost every time.


Joshua decided it would be fun to be under it. He was a little nervous at first but loved it and did it again and again.

Guess what!!!

My baby sister is engaged!!!

I am so happy for her and wish her the best in her engagement, planning, wedding, and marriage!!!


Isn't she beautiful!!!

Look out here comes Will!

Will is now able to climb the stairs and has been able to for about a week. He also pulls himself to standing quite a bit now but still has the wobbly legs so it will be some time before he starts walking the furniture. He does get up on his knees a lot now so he can get to the things he wants to touch and play with. He loves crawling up the stars and is so proud of himself when he starts to go up them. When I go to grab him he giggles like he got away with something. One other first... Yesterday he finally understood what please means and can now say it in sign language if you ask him to, I love it!!

Father's Day

For Father's Day this year I took the boys to the dollar store and had Joshua pick out something he thought his dad would like. The first thing he said he wanted to get Michael was a book. Of course all they had were kids books or books for women so I tried to get him interested in something else. We were in the same isle as the office supplies so he picked up some pencils and said Daddy needed those, they had High School Musical on them :) As he was walking around the store he saw a box mix of cookies then a box mix of a cake and said Daddy NEEDED a cake for Father's Day. We walked around some more and he found a huge party hat and later some M & M's. I think he did pretty good!

New Belgium

On June 11th Michael's cousin and her boyfriend came to town to tour the breweries and invited us to go along. We found ourselves a sitter and went out to have fun. The tour was fun, we had a great tour guide and enjoyed the company of our friends. I didn't know that the tour was free when you start out. They give you one token for a free beer from the counter and as you tour they give you more beer to sample. At the end we could take our pictures on a stationary bike they had. They had a gift shop of course and you could buy beer if you wanted to but we didn't, we just enjoyed the free date. At the end of the tour they had post cards you could fill out if you wanted to and they would send them any where you wanted. Michael sent one to me.

A slide you could go down a the end of the tour. I chose not to since I get dizzy easily

Childrens Garden

June 11th Michael's Grandparents and Aunt were in Cheyenne so we drove up to see them all. That afternoon we took the boys to the Children's Garden in Cheyenne. It is so beautiful and Joshua had a blast, Will took a nap in the stroller. They had several sand play areas, a puppet theater, some places to play chess and other games, a pond, you could plant flowers (if you brought your own), Joshua and I even had a potato sack race. I plan on going back there a lot this year.

Water table

June 8th we bought the boys a water table. We were trying to think of something they would both enjoy that would be cheaper than going to the pool all the time. Joshua had so much fun playing with it that day and has played with it a few days since then.
