They grow up so fast

We went to an outdoor History Museum in Littleton last week with our friends Hunter and Z. It is an old working farm with all the gardens and animals. Hunter and I got a little carried away with taking the following pictures....we just thought they are so cute. The dynamics of the day were much more typical for our fabulous 2 year olds than the pictures captured however. Sam ended up with booboos and learning to yell No at Z, and he had his first "going home early" experience after pushing Sam down a few times. They are such kids.

The adorable picture of them holding hands running behind the outhouse was followed by Z thinking he was out of sight and turning to shove Sam to the ground....it was the beginning. I'm sure that this is only the beginning of their flirtatious love-hate friendship!!

It must be LOVE:)

Daddy's weekend

We spent this last weekend at the car show and car races....plenty of horse power to go around. But we had a blast and have the proof....

The red car doing the burnout is our friend Chris's race car!!

Loving our CSA

This last Friday marked the beginning of our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) vegetable delivery. We are so excited to be a part of the Grant Family Farms. This time of year in Colorado produces nothing but beautiful GREEN leafy produce. So, we are experimenting with all the ways to have salad or cook our greens. We are enjoying the challenge and look forward to the other colors later in the season!!!!

Sam figured how to get her boots on all by herself!!!
She's a big help in the garden, especially with the water!!

Big Girl

One foot at a time, arms full of Babies, the little blonde curls bounced up the stairs. All clean and ready for sleepy night. Straight into the new Big Girl room that still needs fresh paint. Up into the Big Girl Bed......to dream all night of independence and Big Girl aspirations.

Where is my little baby girl? That's correct, she put herself to bed last night in a Big bed. Of course Dad did see her on the floor curled up this morning but she woke up and played until we came to get her as usual.
