Birthday!

I celebrated my 34th Birthday this past weekend with my parents and brother.  Mike had to go back to work the day of my birthday which was a bit of a bummer.  We got to go out on a date night to my favorite local restaurant though the night before!  So that made up for it:)  The day of my birthday we went to Boulder for dinner at The Med and then dessert at Piece, Love, Chocolate!  It is the most phenomenal chocolate shop in Boulder.  I used to go there a lot after my baby appointments;)  It has been such a fun weekend and I'm looking forward now to make a quick trip to California for a fitness convention.  This has been a wonderful summer!  I'm really looking forward to enjoying the last month of summer before we start getting snow storms!

I was so happy Joe could join us after passing his EMT test!

Emmett will never look at the camera!

Anniversary Trip

Mike and I made a quick trip up to Beaver Creek for our 3rd wedding anniversary on July 22nd:)  We had Emmett with us so it wasn't exactly relaxing but we had a great time!  Emmett had his first experience in a mountain side hot tub!  He loved it and it was so nice to take in some mountain time.  We walked around Vail and Beaver Creek during the day and then we celebrated with dinner at the resort's restaurant. It was a wonderful trip and we loved getting up to our favorite mountain resort.

These boys know how to relax

Summer Fun

It's been a busy summer since Memorial Day weekend on!  We are having fun and enjoying some beautiful weather this time of year:)  We went to the lake over Memorial weekend, then had my Dad come visit over Father's Day weekend.  We spent some time in Vail with him and enjoyed the mountains.  Today I went with my friend Sabrina and her little girl to a Wildlife Sanctuary.  We are having so much fun and Emmett is loving every minute of it!  He is at such a fun age and I love getting out and about with him!  Looking forward to the rest of the summer with this little guy!

1st Birthday Party

We brought in Emmett's birthday with a bang!!!  I had so much fun celebrating his first year of life.  So amazing what this year has been.  I can't believe he is one and we have survived ;)  

My parents, grandma, sister, brother in law, nephew, and Mike's parents all flew in for the party.  We had around 35 people at the party.  It was so much fun!  I loved planning and decorating for this party.  We had a circus theme party for everyone.  Emmett was a champ and went all day with no nap and stayed up until around 8pm!  He is such a lil party animal!  Thank you to everyone that made this day so special!  And thank you God for our amazing gift!  I can't imagine our life without him!  He is so precious to us!

I love my boys!

Let the circus begin.  I recruited all family members to help me decorate:)  I had a vision and thanks to Pinterest some great ideas!

The candy table (cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, popcorn, lemonade, and all kinds of candy)

I loved the dessert table!

We put up banners in the kitchen

Kate and Mike gave a circus feel to the family room with streamers

1 year old pictures

My friend Joe took pictures of Emmett in Wash Park for his 1 year old pics.  I loved being outside and getting in on a few of them too!  So sweet of my friend! Our lil guy turned one on May 1st. Thank you God for this precious gift!

1st Haircut

We took Emmett for his first hair cut right before his birthday party.  We went to Sports Clips.  I had no idea why Mike liked going to this salon but I quickly found out;)  Of course there is a tv on every wall playing a sporting event!  How naive of me!  I just figured there were sports pics all around the salon!  Ha!

Emmett was a champ and sat perfectly still throughout the whole procedure.  He looked so grown up when they finished up his hair cut.  Can't believe he is old enough to be getting a hair cut already!
