The first summer afternoon

I think summer is finally here! It was in the 80s today! It was really windy too, so we decided to hang out in the backyard with our new bubble machine, Cole's favorite new toy - hula hoops - and the kiddie pool. It was so nice just to spend some time together and Olivia loves to stay home and play. Here are some pictures!

Colvin in his car! Vroom, vroom!

Molly, the fat beagle.

Hmmm...what is this?

My turn to wear the hat! Yay!

Daddy's turn to wear the hat! :)

Having fun!

9 years and counting....

Happy Anniversary to the best hubby in the world! I can hardly believe it's been this long (I feel a little like an old lady)! In the best of times and the worst of times, we have made it through it all. We are complete together. Here's to the last 9 years and the next 90 years.

I'll love you forever.

Daddy's faux tramp stamp

Never thought about putting on sunscreen here... Planting sunflowers today, Gary had his rear end up in the air while digging the holes and look what happened. His shirt needed to be a little longer. :)

Planting Sunflowers and Pumpkins

A couple weeks ago, we started some pumpkin and sunflower seeds inside the house after the ones Olivia brought home from school failed to transplant well. This weekend, the weather was nice enough for us to plant them. The kids played outside on the playset and Daddy and Mommy worked on moving rocks and mulch to plant them all. Here are a few pics.

What do I do with this stuff?

Yah, this is kind of fun.

American Girls

We decided to visit the American Girl store in Denver to get Olivia a new outfit for her doll, Emily and a matching one for herself. But we walked out of there with a 'friend' for Emily and Olivia. Her name is Lanie (the blonde doll) and Olivia just loves them both. Here are a couple of pictures.

The Mmmmmm Aahhhhhhh Song

One of the therapists that works with Colvin sang a song that Colvin loves! It's the Mmmmmm Aaahhhhh Song. I don't know the real name of it, but Colvin thinks it's the best. Here's Lisa singing it to Cole.
