Where'd the Time Go?

Joe's 5th birthday is coming up at the end of the week and I've been reflecting a lot on how much he's changed since his birth.  Tonight, Joe really surprised my Mom and I at church when he read the word "cat" by himself.  He then proceeded to read 5 more words: bat, top, sit, dog, mop.  What happened to my newborn who finally slept through the night at 6 months, my baby that didn't roll over until 9 months, my toddler that said "hoggot" for hotdog? 

It was bittersweet...

Joe's Field Trip to Morrison Nature Center

This past Wednesday, Joe and his pre-kindergarten class took a field trip to Morrison Nature Center.  Mama, Grammy, Grandma and Grandpa came too!

The snake the kids got to pet.

Joe was all about it!

Nature hike and scavenger hunt.

I found a leaf...I can cross it out!

And there's the tree stump I was looking for.

There's the Joe we all know.

What a great day!

Our 7th Anniversary

For our 7th Wedding Anniversary, Josh and I went to the Foo Fighters Concert last Sunday night.  The photo below shows Dave Grohl (lead singer).  It was a lot of fun!

First Snow

So we woke up this past Saturday to snow outside.  Just four days earlier it was in the 80s.  That's Colorado for you.  The boys snuggled up for snacks and a movie . . . welcome Fall!

Westland's Park

 

This past week, the boys and I went to Westland's Park with some friends.  We had a great time enjoying the fall weather!
