They're both Walking!!

Here's Caleb walking around outside where we played a softball game.

Doesn't this capture my life? :) They can now both walk without us helping them and they prefer to walk rather than crawl now

Caleb

Caleb makes this funny face a lot now, especially when he is pushing the red wagon.

We all had a great time at the Taste of Colorado on Labor Day

Enjoying the Summer

They love to clap and it's so precious! This is Caleb clapping

They both love push cars, but Caleb especially loves sticks and Noah loves leaves. But this massive golf club was a dream come true for Caleb.

They can push each other in their cars and they laugh and giggle. They trade off and I think they're starting to learn which side of the car is forward now :)

They love their red wagon and we ride and play with it daily. This was a rare time when they didn't have clothes on for some reason. They love to wave and say hi to the neighbors

This swing is great to have in the backyard and it is also a daily thing. Although, one day the old rope broke and they went on a wild ride vertically in the air...thankfully their seat belt kept them in and we were right there to get them out. We just got it back up and replaced the ropes, so they're happy about that again!

This car is so adorable. Grandpa and Grandma Mayles got it at a garage sale and they love riding in it together. They also love to climb all over it when it's in the yard and push it around on the grass.

This is absolutely adorable and almost everytime they ride in it someone is putting his arm around his brother! :) Too precious

St. Mary's Glacier Hike and Photoshoot

After this hike we now have backpacks that can hold the boys since we realized these baby bjorns were just a little snug now!

Around the new house

Our First House!!

We couldn't be happier with our first house, it is everything we could want. We feel so blessed and fortunate to get to live here.

We did some remodeling to update the house before we moved in. Jonathan and his brother Denys tiled the entry way, kitchen, laundry room and lower bathroom. We had it painted and re-carpeted and put in new kitchen countertops. It has been a fun transformation and it is nice to finally have it decorated.

This sunroom is our favorite room (except for me, my studio wins) but we love to relax in here, the brick used to be the outside of the house and the previous owners built the addition in 1982. I would like to paint the brick, but Jonathan says he likes the sports bar feel is gives behind the tv!
Denys and Jonathan did a beautiful job tiling the kitchen, I love it!!

My creative haven. I just started oil painting today for the first time in who knows how long... almost 2 years!! So, this red canvas is no longer red and a beach scene is going over it and most of it is sky now.

The boys love the backyard, and no longer enjoy being corraled :) They now have a little slide they love going down!

This enormous tree is our favorite part of the backyard. We have a swing that looks like a caperpillar that hold 2, that hangs from the branch. The boys love it.
