aMAYzing

It's been such a random and fun month.  "Crazy busy" doesn't even BEGIN to scratch the surface!

Here's been our month (plus) in a nutshell.  =)


Life is good when you come home to 3 large boxes of Pampered Chef stuff.  Jen's party was VERY successful.  =)

We spent our traditional Memorial Day weekend in Estes Park.



Greg is playing softball with his work friends up in Highlands Ranch this Summer - and LOVING it!

We went crawdad fishing one night up at Palmer Lake with Jen's fam.  Brian's the expert fisherman.  ;)

Noah always loves and wants to help us cook.

Painting with watercolors was a HUGE hit!

Noah and Mommy went on many a coffee/chocolate milk date.

He just keeps getting more and more adorable!

Mimi brought Noah back some Mickey ears and shirt from her Vegas trip - another HUGE hit!

LOVES playing outside with his new bug catching kit.

We had a picnic and watched the AFA graduation air show.  SO awesome!

Being a cheese and having fun with new toys in the bath.

Took Noah to his first Sky Sox game!  He loved it.  =)

Looking studly for the girls in Sunday School.  ;)


Some more about our month without photos:

* Jen's been prepping for VBS at church.  It's gonna be very different this year, but she's looking SO forward to it!
* We've been loving our Small Group at church and have been doing a LOT of stuff with them. 
* Jen's been playing Bunco with her new friends at church.  She's still keeping with the "winning a prize every game" theme.  =)
* Greg's been studying every spare moment for his CFA test.  He's burned out and ready to be done.  =(
* We've had fun out at Auntie and Bob's house.  Noah LOVES to explore and run around and collect sticks for the fire.  =)
* We're off to Arkansas soon!  Noah's thrilled to be riding in a "big airplane!"

Not sure if we missed anything or not.  We've done so much, so we MAY have.  ;)

Loving Mother's Day!

(By Jen)

I love being a Mom, and I love who my Mom is.  So pretty much, it's a good day all around for me.  =)

So remember this post when I was crafty (in a roundabout sort of way) with my Mother's Day gift to my Mom on her first Mother's Day as a Grandparent?   Well THIS year, two of her gifts from us included more of my craftiness - a homemade tea towel with Noah's picture on it, and a handprint flower in fingerpaints for her!




It was so easy and so fun that I had to make one of each of those for myself too.  ;)

We had such a great morning at church this morning, a lovely lunch out afterwards, and Noah spoiled me with such fun gifts.  Here is a pic of the flowers and card he made for me and a little drawing he made for me in Sunday School:



I love being a Mom to this little guy!  He truly is THE best boy in the whole wide world!  =)
