COMPANY!!!! Oh no!!! (Carys)

Look at those long eyelashes!!!! Lucky girl

Working hard in the sand box

Carys tried Trace's hat on for size...

I love how she sucks her left thumb upside down..

Trying to get a couple of one year olds to pose is fun!

Kissing Carys bye bye... I think she was ready for that moment

Saying goodbye to Sarah! Trace loved all of her yummy meals!

Cant forget Matt!

Away we went...

...to Colorado! We had a great time visiting our friends Matt, Sarah and Carys. (I have to get permission from Sarah to post pics of them so they may come later)
Our flight out was suppose to be a 2:45 minute direct flight. Due to a large storm that was in Denver at the time of our arrival we had to circle for 45 minutes, that led to running low on fuel so a "quick" jump to Amarillo Texas... refueled... then back to Denver... This turned our trip into a 7 hour two stop trip!!! I had graham bunnies with me and raisins since I fed Trace before we left and planned to feed him again a few hours later upon our arrival. I learned my lesson to stay over prepared in the food department.
Our return trip involved a 2 1/2 hour delay. So instead of arriving back to Nashville at 9:45pm it was 12:15am making our arrival home around 1:00 AM!!! Awful. Sarah sent lots of food with me so at least Trace had something to eat this time. He was SO tired but did not sleep one second on the plane either direction!!!
Regardless we had a GREAT time. Friday we all went over to the mountains and had lunch in the town of Estes Park. A cute little resort town by the park. Saturday the guys went to play golf and Sarah and I took the kids to the park and went to see Jason, Lisa, Drew and Taylor Held. It was a short visit but it was great to see them. Hopefully on our next trip we can pencil in more time with the Helds! Sunday the boys watched the kids so Sarah and I could do a little shopping and have lunch. Overall it was a great weekend! Thanks for hosting us. We cant wait to return the favor!!!

mom, can we get off this plane now?
Why do they only have pink stuff here???

seriously?

Daddy and Trace in the mountains!!! SO CUTE

I got Trace a new cup and gave it to him on Saturday morning. It is a Mickey Mouse sippy cup. The child has not put it down ever since. It went to and from Target on Saturday and today he went to Miss Beth's house to visit (and to snack!). Needless to say Trace Loves Mickey Mouse!!!

We had a great time at the Beach with Aunt Kristen, Grandma, Aunt Michelle, Laura, Leah and Samantha! We missed Daddy so much! Trace LOVED the sand throwing it, eating it, running on the beach everything. He loved being with all of his ladies! I loved getting to spend so much time with him.

Happy 4th of July!

What are these things mommy put on my feet....

: )



We had a great 4th of July. We relaxed all day and went to our friends house for a cookout around 4:00. They had lots of little ones and friends over. The weather was perfect and after the cookout the fireworks began. Trace went down to sleep around 8 so he slept through the fireworks again this year... Most of the little ones were pretty scared them so maybe it is best that he sleeps through them till he is a little bigger. Today we took him to get a much needed hair cut. No pictures since the hair cut.... this week Trace and I are headed to the beach! It will just be Trace and ALL of his ladies... Grandma, Aunt KK, Aunt Shell, Laura, Leah and Samantha... I'm sure no spoiling will take place!

Off to Grandmas

Trace was not impressed with the pool Grandma got him.
my blocks are wet!

Aunt KK!

John was out of town so Trace and I headed to Grandma's house a couple weeks ago. We spent time with Grandma, Grandpa Ed, Aunt KK and Grandpa too.

I didnt do a very good job taking pictures with everyone.
