Hangin with the Lucius Boys...

Colin decided that he wants to sit up like a big boy. He sat up (not perfectly, but pretty well) for 2 minutes!!!!

Austin decided to take a cheesy/adorable picture with hid little bro. We love playing with these boys...

It's a task that requires a lot of energy...a lot of love....

and a lot of cuteness!!!! Here is Austin trying on some of daddy's cool kicks
And now he's cruising around the house.


Back to just hanging out. Almost time to go to bed. XOXOXO

Colin is 4 months old!!!

We just returned from Colin's 4 month doctors appointment.
Talk about a big boy!! He is 26.75 in long (95th percentile), 17 lbs 3 oz (90th percentile), and his head is 17.5 in (95th percentile). The doc says he is one solid little baby!
Mom's biceps are getting bigger by the day and her back is getting more sore. He's my little chunk!
Austin is so gentle with his little brother.
Here's Austin eating his first ear of corn. It took him nearly an hour.
Melissa took me to the Mile High Music Festival to celebrate my 28th Birthday.
Here's Melissa's little girl Hayden Jean at 3 weeks old. How adorable is that bonnet?
Joel and I got some time away from the boys the enjoy the relaxing festival.

4th of July Weekend

Here's the view from Uncle Jon and Aunt Carol's porch. Their horse ranch is in Westcliffe Colorado, 160 miles south of Denver in the Sangre de Christo Mountain Range. "Spectacular", that's all I have to say! It was a wonderful 4th of July weekend.

Here is the main house

and below is the stable that is home to 8 horses, 2 donkeys, 7 dogs, 2 cats and one ginney pig! GG and Austin in the stables
GG, Uncle Jon and a not so happy Austin riding the ATV


The grandma's had to join forces to keep a watchful eye over Austin. There was no shortage of entertainment! Uncle Jon made sure of that. Here we are watching the fireworks over the pasture.
It was way past Austin's bedtime!

We did some relaxing as well!

Mama loves her boys!

Here's everyone enjoying baby back ribs, yummy!

So enjoyable.

The Alaska Family

Aunt Monte and Uncle/Cousin Brett hosted a 2.5 week Alaskan vacation for my parents. Here's my mom with Monte and Brett and their two Dorkies, Lucy and Linus (dachshund/yorkie mix, aka...cutest dogs ever!).

Grandma and Grandpa enjoying the breath taking views of Alaska.

This is my 1st cousin Robby with my adorable 2nd cousin Alyssa! Alyssa was the flower girl in mine and Joel's wedding. She's fluent in both English and Japanese at the age of 6!!!!
