Happy Father's Day


Too often I do not take the time to tell Ben how thankful we are for him and all he does for our family. I always knew he would be a good father based on the kind of man he is, but he has truly surpassed my expectations in every way with the boys. He is so kind, involved, loving and attentive to them. He never gets frusterated, never gets short with them and always has a smile and kind word to say to them, it is truly truly amazing. I am so thankful for all his patience and love for our children, they could not ask for a better daddy and I just know they will grow up to be honorable men with Ben as their example. Happy Father's Day, Ben. God knew what he was doing when he made you a daddy. Love you! This picture just says it all-- Ben continues to smile despite being in the middle of a two year old melt down :)

Rollin's 1 Year Stats!


Rollin is a BIG boy, just like Everett. We had his one year appointment and his stats are: 26 lbs, 1 oz (93%), 32 inches long (97%) and 18 1/4 head (60%). He is crawling like crazy, going up stairs, pulling up and standing supported. No walking yet, but hopefully soon!

First Birthday and Trip to Boulder!!





We can hardly believe our little man is now one! Time flies. This past year has been full of so many wonderful things and experiences and some trying times for our family. Right now we are in a very good place! We spent a few days out in Boulder celebrating Rollin's big day, we had a lovely time. We arrived in Denver (the boys were great on the flight!) and spent the night at a wonderful resort in Colorado Springs called Cheyenne Mountain Resort- we had such fun as a family and surprisenly the boys did great sleeping in the hotel room together. The next morning, we drove up to Denver and met Jenni and the girls at the Denver zoo. Everett and Rollin could not get enough of their cousins, it was so fun to see them interact. We spent the next few days in Boulder going to the pool, going to dinner, having a BBQ for Rollin's birthday and just getting to spend some time visiting with Jenni, Will and the girls- we also go to spend family time together each morning when the boys got up at 6 a.m.(!) Boulder time due to the time change. We got them in the car and headed for bagels at our favorite place, Mos- we were the first customers each morning :) Here are some photos of our trip!
