Week 30

We met up with a friend at the Colorado Railroad Museum. Paxton was in train heaven. 

Cory plays on a co-ed softball team and they have games every Friday night. I realized I hadn't taken any pictures of him this season….oops! Here is a few I got in before I had to go back to chasing after my kiddos.

I won FREE tickets to a Rockies game! The seats were right behind home plate too. We were stoked! It was a good game and we all had a lot of fun. We had to leave early so I could get to a clients photo session and I later heard that Sara Evans performed a little concert after the game! I was so bummed that I missed it! 

We had the T-Ball end of the season party! There was pizza, popsicles, and trophies!

A local park has a little train that runs throughout the summer. A ticket is just .75 and the kids rode it 5 times! A nice, easy, and cheap activity!

Summer is winding down. I can't believe in just a few weeks the kids will be in school!

Week 27

Happy 4th of July!

One of my most favorite holidays! I absolutely LOVE buying the kids some patriotic outfits. I went a little bit over-board this year and even bought the flip-flops, sunglasses and hat/hair accessory too! I can't help it… it's so much FUN!

We started our holiday with a bike parade in our neighborhood. The kids get to decorate their bike/scooter/wagon and parade up and down the streets in our 'hood. The best decorated wins a prize. We seriously have the best community who puts on some FUN events!

Here's my cuties with their decked out rides for the parade!

Then we headed to our neighborhood pool. Our HOA puts on a BBQ, raffle and lots of games for kids and adults. We spent the whole afternoon there and Cory got a pretty bad sunburn, but other than that we all had a blast!

Later that evening we headed out to the lake to watch the fireworks. It was super windy and raining. It was a long wait. But fortunately about 10 minutes before the fireworks launced, the rain stopped and the wind died down and we were able to enjoy the show. 

We got home pretty late, but the kids really wanted to do some sparklers. So we busted them out and let the kids have fun for 10 minutes and then we were mean and made them go to bed.

Alexis had another T-Ball game. Cory told me it was going to be an over-cast night so I grabbed the camera. Perfect lighting condition for a sport that's played in full sun. It was windy and quite cold though, the game ended just in time when the rain moved in and down poured.

Week 20

Cory got to go to preschool with Alexis for the day. They had a Father's Day party. He came home with lots of hand-made gifts. Too cute.

The moms from preschool all got together and had a end of school year party for the kids at the park. There was tons of yummy food and tons of happy kiddos running around. Summer is almost here!

(this was the little siblings table- most of these kiddos will be in preschool together next school year!)

PAXTON IS THREE!

We threw him a birthday party at the park. It was fire-truck themed. I had a lot of fun putting this one together. We even had our local Fire Department come out with their fire truck and let the kids play on it. It was a surprise for Paxton and he loved it. It was a wonderful party with the best family and friends a kid could ask for. 

Inspiration hit me and I spontaneously took Alexis out for a photo session. I will be getting the first one printed on canvas and hung in her room. 

It's been so nice out in the evenings. I am loving being able to play outside with the kids when Cory gets home.

Alexis started T-Ball! Cory is her coach. I'm excited to see how this season will go. This is her first T-Ball season. We're hoping she'll love it!

And let's end with a cute bath shot of my super cute boy!
