It really is incredible...

This morning when I was putting Anderson down for his morning nap - he was falling asleep in my arms and I started to tear up. He's so precious, and it really is incredible how my sister and brother-in-law actually CREATED him!! He is the sweetest, most well behaved baby - I am really gonna miss hanging out with him every day :o(

He's always full of smiles!!

And puts everything in his mouth these days.... EVERYTHING!!

I LOVE this outfit! The hood is soo cute!

Bald little baby!!

Lola.... stuck on the roof.... well, sorta....

Lola is seriously the craziest, coolest cat! Yesterday she got onto the roof and started meowing - we couldn't figure out where it was coming from and where she was until I finally looked up on the roof!!

She looked like she didn't know how she got up there or how she was gonna get down...

Robin grabbed a ladder - but she wouldn't come to her....

Finally she ran across the roof of the garage and came down the fence....

Crazy cat....

More time with Anderson...

Car rides aren't always his favorite, but he usually falls asleep...... this time he's holdng the giraffe's leg - so precious!

TUMMY TIME!!! - He's gettin better!!

He's getting so big, he can stand on his own with just a little support from his mat - Brad was NOT holding him!!! He's growing so fast right before my eyes!

I love feeding him - he's such a sweet boy....

This one's my favorite! He's got chubby cheeks like his mama :o)

So far in Denver....

Okay - so last night Robin and I went to this crazy workout up at Red Rocks Ampitheatre and it was so intense! I LOVED it!! I mean the pictures don't even show how crazy the workout really is - the leader is in incredible shape and he doesn't rest for the entire 2 1/2 hours!! I swear!!! Check the pictures on the website and you'll get a small taste... But seriously, experience of a lifetime - as far as working out goes! ;o) We only stayed for an hour and a half cuz we had to get home for Brad to watch the b-ball game with some buddies, but that hour and a half was CRAZY!!!!!

Anyhow... onto my little handsome man! I just can't get over how much cuter he is in person!!! I'm not kidding you, pictures DO NOT do him justice!!! Here are a few we've taken in the past couple days... Robin really gets him laughing!!

First few days in Denver...

Anderson loves playing on his little mat!! He is soooo entertained on this mat!

Lola, the cat who LOVES to floss her teeth!

Lola, their cat, goes crazy when Robin starts brushing her teeth in the morning - because she knows she gets to play with the floss after Robin is done flossing...

I guess you never have to worry about forgetting to floss!!

Anderson's smile is so precious! We had him laughing this morning :o)

Took a road trip to Garden of the Gods and Anderson fell asleep holding the rings that hang over his car seat handle...

~Garden of the Gods~

Kissing Camels - and on our way home a funnel cloud! Such great weather while I'm here! ;o)

Jen & Josh

MARRIED!!!!

Jen Gets Married Tomorrow!!!

My sister gets MARRIED tomorrow!!!!!!!

Two years ago, she was about to turn thirty and feeling like she was never going to meet anyone (as we all have felt at one point or another in our lives). So my mom and I got on Craigslist. I had made a few personal ads for myself and had some success, some weirdos, and some duds. So I was pretty Craigslist savvy. My mom and I wrote out an ad for Jen and watched as the emails PILED in!! - Now we didn't tell her we put an ad up right away - until we came across Josh's email. I thought, I've got to tell her - he is GREAT! He's funny, believes in God, has his priorities in line, well traveled, someone she'd be attracted to, adventurous - He was the perfect match-up!!

So I called her - explained that I just wanted her to be happy... so Mom and I posted a personal ad on Craigslist. At first she was NOT happy! But I interrupted her and asked her to listen to the email I was about to read aloud to her (this being an email from Josh)... as I read the email explaining his background, some of the goals he had in life, experiences he'd had - she laughed through the whole reading. I emailed him back and set up a day for them to meet - and let them take it from there. After her first date, she immediately came home and it was apparent she fell in love with his quirky personality and whit.

And it went from there... I could not have picked a better man for my sister!!! I am so happy for the both of them!!

My life - lately....

Lately my life has been... oh, how can I explain it... AMAZING! I have a great family and great friends - including my boyfriend too :o)

I became an Auntie x 2 this year! Well not really... Azy had a baby boy and I like to think I'm his Auntie too!!

My nephew Anderson is soooo incredibly cute! And I haven't even met him yet!!! I go to Denver in about 2 weeks!!! I CANNOT wait! And I'll be posting TONS of pictures for viewing ;o)

My weight... I've only lost 18 pounds, but I'm on my way to my goal of losing 47 more! And hopefully I can be good about documenting it on here for you all to see!
