Casey's Trip

Casey, my best friend from college came out to visit us at the end of June. Her main purpose for visiting was to be here for Tyler's baptism and be his Godmother, but we stretched the time so we could fit in a little fun also. We had a blast touring Colorado and shopping in about every possible place north of Denver. I already miss her so much.

Welcome to Colorado, Casey!

The Budweiser Brewery tour...

Visiting the Clydesdale's...

"The Godmother"...

She even went to a puppet show with us...

Tyler strolling around the zoo...

This was Tyler's look all week as we toted him from place to place. Are we there yet?

Low Rider...

Here is my "Gangsta" son rollin' in the living room. His pants are so big on him as he walks around the room running over puppets and car tracks.

Shopping...

At Home Depot the other day Andy and Tyler went looking for tools. Tyler got to ride in the car cart and he had so much fun looking forward. In the regular carts, when he has to look at me, he always wants to turn around and look the other way so this worked out great. From now on we will be looking for the forward facing carts!

Zoom, zoom, zoom...

And away we go!

Play Date at the Park...

Here are a few pictures of Tyler at his play date at Edora Park the other day. We are trying to get together weekly with other mommies and kiddos around Tyler's age. It is so fun to see them play together and it is great for me to have some adult conversation!

Tyler swinging with Mommy...

Having a good ole time...

Tyler and his buddy Sam.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'...

We had a very productive weekend getting ready for summer and one of the things we did was get our bikes ready to go. We had to make them "kid friendly" by adding the seat to the back of Andy's mountain bike. I guess he won't be going off-roading anytime soon. This is a sign that we are not that young anymore...when you have to add a baby seat to your spiffy mountain bike. I find it very cute though!

Tyler seems to really like his new seat and his helmet. We went out for a ride and he did really well!

Hangin' with Grandpa...

My Dad came out to visit us over Memorial weekend and we had so much fun. Tyler was on his best behavior (not hard for such a happy kid) and we were able to visit downtown and just hang out at the house. Grandpa and Tyler became good friends and we can't wait for him to come back and visit us!

Twisting on the swing...
