So Cute!

We switched day care providers. Ashley's next door neighbor watches Austin during the day at her house. Austin loves playing with her daughter Kaelynn. They are so cute! Everyday they take a walk to get the mail and they both hold hands all the way to the mailbox.

Spray park

We took Austin to the spray park in the neighborhood across the street.

He loves the water!

Austin's favorite food is bananas!

My Little Rock Star!

Austin loves to listen to music with a good beat. As soon as I turn on the radio, his head starts nodding in sync with the song. He's so cute!

First Kiss

Tubing

We went tubing down the St. Vrain River on Saturday. It was a blast! We all took tubes down with the exception of Andy. Andy rode the river in an inflatable raft with Austin. They braved all the rapids! Austin was so stinkin' cute in the raft. I think he liked it. He absolutely loves the water.

We hiked Ten Falls Trail in Oregon and saw some amazing waterfalls. As seen in the picture, the most amazing thing was getting to hike behind several of the waterfalls. You could almost reach out and touch the falls. It felt like we were in Hawaii...the foliage was so lush and green and dense.

Now that I live in Colorado I miss the 'green'. Growing up in Texas, I never thought it was green until I moved here and now I miss all the trees. Most people don't think of Denver as a desert, but it most definitely is. Every tree in Denver is planted- trees don't grow naturally here. Although, the best part about Denver are the sunny blue skies and puffy white clouds. As cheesy as that sounds, I would miss it if I moved. As beautiful as Portland is, they don't get hardly any sun for 6 months out of the year. On the other hand, Denver is the second sunniest state behind Florida. Can't complain about that!

Just Beginning

So here we go. Unfortunately creating a blog means I have to write. I am not much of a writer. It really isn't my thing. I write and then rewite and rewrite until I can't remember what I even wanted to write about in the first place. My poor edit and delete button get used way too often. I have a hard time finalizing anything or deciding on something that I think will sound okay. I have too many thoughts in my head to focus and can't possibly get everything down on paper. My writing ends up broken and jumbled and pieced together. So I apologize in advance for my unorganized thoughts but hopefully you can see the bigger picture.

Okay, this is for all our friends and family who don't have a myspace or facebook. I feel a little bit of deja vu since this will be quite similar to those pages. I love photography so instead of writing to update you on our life, I will post lots and lots of photos to keep you updated on what we are doing.
