18 MONTHS!!!

Today, Dutch is 18 months old!!! He has brought so much joy into our lives, it is hard to imagine life before him!

He is into EVERYTHING these days - climbing, eating things that he shouldn't, etc. In fact, just this past Thursday, we spent a few hours in the ER due to him falling off a chair and his tooth going thru his bottom lip. After a few stitches, we came home and he acted as if nothing happened!

It is hard to believe how fast time has gone by and before we know it Dutch will be an amazing BIG BROTHER!!

Boo in the Zoo

We had a great time at Boo in the Zoo this year. It was Dutch's first time for Halloween. I'm not quite sure the he felt all that comfortable with everyone dressed up, but he enjoyed being with his cousins! We tried and tried to get some good pictures of the kids...this is what we got!

Pumpkin Patch

This year, my sister and I decided we would take our kids to Denver Downs Pumpkin Patch. We had a great time and the kids really enjoyed it!

Work in progress

After months of deliberating, we finally decided to add onto our house. We love the downtown area and really wanted to stay, so we figured why not make our house what we want it to be and continue to stay there. I must say, it is a work in progress and tests our patience everyday. And although I love decorating, choosing carpets/hardwoods, paint colors, etc, I have definitely already told my mom I would enjoy it better if someone just made the choices for me. I know that is not truly the case, but it is a lot of work and too many decisions! Just call me when it's ready to be furnished :)

Here are a few pictures from our construction progress. Our little man is such a BIG helper!
