a week in pa... it's never long enough!
before moving, i had to take the opportunity to visit my family in Pa (being only a 4 hour drive!)... i actually had this week already planned to visit Emily and help her organize her house! WE HAD A BLAST and did AMAZING work on her house!! and the cousin's got to play!
Tuesday night we hit the Body Boot Camp at the YMCA in Denver... and we lived through it :)
M and C... chillin'
WILL... what a stud! Before taking this picture, i said... "Wow, Will... you look like a Mini-Justin!" he walks away after i took the picture... and said... "Mini-Justin?" and Caitlin comes in and said... "Yeah... you know... Justin Bieber!!"
cousins... Will, Caitlin, Micah, Enoch, Isaac, Brinley, Ada
Em and I donating a TON of clothes we cleaned out of her house... ahhhh, what a good feeling!
Sua's getting into to the action...
5k race... runnin' with the Chick-fil-a team... cause that's how we roll! (BEST surprise EVER... Jdawg drove up to see me run across the finish line... i actually spotted him as we started the race. What a darling Hubby i have!)
Grammy and Papa ended "Grammy CAMP" by taking the kids to see BRAVE! (they painted these Angry Bird shirts!)
so cute...
Auntie Shelly being silly!
Pepper's such a good sport...
At Amy and Kevin's new place... checking it out!
Caitlin and Will wanted to check out these "crops"...

August 2011
We can hardly believe that summer is almost over! Wow, where did the time go?? Here are a few pictures of what our last two weeks have looked like :)
Brinley is so in love with playing "dress up!" she's being very creative! my personal fav...
our neighbor gave us this little baby pool last summer, we decided to break it out one afternoon.
J putting the final touches on the kitchen paint... what a stud!
random place to sleep...?
I put this together for Will- so he could build his Leggos and keep the little 'maps' safe and in order!
Thursday night (July 28th) the Young Women in our ward hosted a baby sitting night! parents could drop off their kids at 6:30 and go have a date till 8pm! I think i was the first one to sign up! what a special treat it was for us to get out, esp since the kids and i were leaving to go to Pa the next day... my view from the table... *Sigh*
As always, we had such a fun time in Pa, we feel very blessed to be able to see my side of the family as much as we do... and also to be able to come up and help my mom before and during her surgery! It went fast but always so good to come 'home'.
Will had a good time with Papa mowing the lawn! papa even let him drive around by himself (on a very low speed, of course! Made Will's day!)
Caitlin and Enoch
Chester "The Pimp"... chilling in his window, Brinley shared the color pencils with him. O, how nice!
Will and Chester!
Uncle B
Mommy and Caitlin, she was helping me 'paint' gum paste on the leaves so they would stick to the cake!
Amy- working her fondant magic
Grammy cutting pineapple for the party
Papa all ready to go!
Caitlin, Enoch and Ada
treats for the kiddos
THE CAKE:
The Birthday Boy! Happy 7, Enoch!
Kevin... "Look at THIS!"
Grammy, Ada and Brinley
Emily helped the kids make Grammy a get well card to take and hang in her hospital room
We adopted Chester from my parents.... here he is all ready to go to his new home in VA!
Here's a little Flash Back: these two pictures were taken in the summer of 2001 after Brandon brought him home the first time! (they actually told us he was a girl. and "her" name was Tiger Lilly, Tiger for short. Then when we found out it was a boy, and we changed it to Tigger, and that lasted for 2 minutes. Then we thought an old creepy man's name would be funny... Chester! Then later Brandon nick-named him "The Pimp!" It's just kinda stuck over the years.
The kids and i drove home Thursday night and Friday afternoon we went to lunch with Daddy!
later that night, our cute neighbor Alyssa came over with some gifts for the kids, she was cleaning out her room and thought ours would enjoy her old things! For Will: a kid sized guitar!
For Caitlin, a collection of "American Girl" books! :) So, So sweet of her to think of us!
It's always exciting for me to organize something, Justin helped me hang these shelves in my craft room. :) now to fill them.
Brinley's back to dressing up... Mr. Potato Head's glasses are always a favorite...
the animals are all still getting used to each other, Chester and Dodger hanging out in our closet...
next week we have a family day trip to the beach planned- we can't wait! stay tuned!
