June was a slower month...we were actually home the whole time! We are loving this summer in Colorado, as it's the first one that we have really been able to get out and enjoy! Here is the recap of June's festivities.....
Visit from CiCi
Although there are no pictures to prove it, CiCi came to visit and we had a great time! She helped me plant flowers since I couldn't seem to find the time to do it myself (thanks CiCi!), and she went with Peyton and me to Denver to see the pulmonologist....and we also made time to stop and shop on the way there :)
First Visit to the Zoo this Year
We've been telling Lawson for awhile now that we'd go to the zoo, and we finally got around to going! Our zoo here is great and we try to go as much as we can. And wouldn't you know it, the most popular exhibit there is the.....Giraffes! It is the best, and we got to introduce our little giraffe to the real things :)
Up Close & Personal with the Giraffes!
Hmm, maybe he's hesitant because it looks just like the big stuffed giraffe in his room....but this one's moving :)
Not sure if you can tell, but he is all decked out....Safari hat, giraffe on his shirt, and his pants are a bunch of little brown giraffes! Dressed for the occasion!
We got to pet a cute baby Wallaby :)
The Great Grizzly bear
Lawson and the Moose!
Birthday Parties!
Peyton got to go to his friend, Hope's, 1st birthday party, and Lawson got to go to his friend, Rockwell's, 3rd birthday party at the fire station! Both parties were lots of fun and we are thankful for such great friends!
Hope is Peyton's first friend....So cute!!!
Seven Falls
We did some hiking up at Seven Falls (it's an attraction here due to the....you guessed it, seven water falls that cascade down the mountain). There are quite a few steep stairs, so we both took our "kid backpacks" and headed up. Once we reached the top of the falls we kept going a mile or so to the peak that overlooked the city....it was gorgeous and pictures do not do it justice but we took some anyway........
Peyton just chillin' on mommy's back! He also chewed the heck out of that strap :)
Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to the best daddy ever! We had great time going to church and just hanging out. It was a great day :)
Doing what daddies do best...playing with his boys and rigged up the cozy coupe and wagon so that one is pulling the other....brilliant!
Lawson Update
-Graduated the "Cottontails" Soccer Class & started the "Hoppers" class outside and without mommy....such a big boy now! However, we are still working on our listening skills when it comes to following the coach's directions :)
-Pretty much potty trained....finally!
-Playing outside alot! Below is a picture of him playing with his new water and sand table from Cici & Papa
Excited that he just built a big tower all by himself!
Can't believe that big boy in the shades is my baby!
Lawson with his soccer coach and good friend, McKenna!
Peyton Update
-New Glasses! As you might have already noticed in the above pics, Peyton got new glasses! These are much more kid friendly and way more practical....and we think they are cute too :) He continues to keep them on pretty well...he only takes them off when he's bored or mad :)
-Walking more than Crawling...finally! He is all over the place these days, and with that comes more falling as well, but so far no major injuries. It doesn't help that we have 4 sets of stairs!
-He is saying new words! Here are the ones we understand as of now: Dada, Mama, Baby, Bebe (for his buddy bear), Ba (for ball) , Gaga (Dog)
