Denver

We went to visit the Schossow's at the end of June. It's been no fun having family live so far away, but I do have to say that Denver in June was awesome for the AZ people!!

Such a nice welcome!!

We had such a great time. We spent so much time outdoors. And I just cannot get over those boys- such awesome cousin bonding!

The boys discovered ladybugs!!

We ventured to the Aquarium.

 It's Nemo and Dory!!

 Even the nighttime routine is fun with your cousins.

Nick and Brandon were able to fit in a round of golf.  Too bad the surroundings weren't nice to look at. :-)  (Nice swing, babe!)

 Park time is a must with toddlers.

My favorite place we visited was the Chatfield Botanical Garden.  It was so amazingly beautiful!  Being from AZ, I'm used to cacti in a botanical garden.  I'll take this one any day!  I could have wandered around for hours.  So picture perfect!! I never got a picture to do it justice, but so many flowers were in bloom. There were also animals to see and a little play area for the kids.

We got to hang out with our friends, the Langs, and had a great time catching up.  Denver snatched them away from AZ, too.  Hmm, I hope this isn't becoming a pattern.

Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye.  Asher and Toby were beyond adorable together! Asher still asks about seeing Aunt B, Uncle Nick, Toby and Levi almost daily.  

We love you guys and hope to see you again soon!!

Summer Vacation 2015

Birthday Celebration

With Asher's birthday being in June, I figure we have 2 ways we can go for a party:  water fun outdoors (and even with water this is pushing it), or hiding out in the AC.  We ventured outside this year to the water table (thanks Aunt A and B!!), baby pool and sprinkler.  Since the majority of the kids in our life are under 4, this was great!

Asher really "got it" this year that it was his birthday and he was being celebrated.  He. loved. it.
