rockies, indians, and barbies

So for the past couple of weeks we have been pretty busy. We've gotten to do lots of fun stuff and get ready for our big move into our house! We're still keeping our fingers crossed that everything works out, but hopefully we'll be closing on Monday at 4, finally! Here's a look in picture of some of the things we've done.

We got to babysit Calvin for Sarah and Roger so they could go to the temple. It was a lot of fun and Shyler is playing better with her cousin and other babies. It was also a reminder that we don't want another one yet. She's catching up to him, soon she'll be taller than him! He does have 6 months on her though.

We tried swimming again. This time it was a warm sunny day and Shyler liked the water much better. Here's a tip, don't take a baby straight into the middle of the pool. They like to ease into it.

On Thursday the 17th, Amanda and Shyler drove down to Castle Rock to visit Lexi and Dre Lund and Shannon Read met us there. The little ones had fun playing, but didn't really play with each other. One day they actually will. Lexi is rolling all over and just starting to sit on her own. It was neat to see what Shyler will be doing in just a few weeks.

Last weekend we did a lot of packing, we tried to pack Shyler, but she didn't want to be packed just yet.

On Tuesday the 22, Shyler got to go to her first baseball game. It was a great game to watch because the Rockies beat the Dodgers 10-1. Shyler missed the 6-8th innings while she slept, but we still had a great time.

Then on Thursday we headed up to Cheyenne for Frontier Days. We stayed with Amanda's Friend Becky and her husband Cody. In the morning we got to enjoy the free pancake breakfast along with 10,000 other people. After the breakfast we walked around downtown and even toured the state capital.

We went to the Indian village and watched some traditional Native American dancing, went inside a real tepee and Shyler climbed the tree!
Our week is almost over. On Sat. we went to Tim's little sister's bridal shower. Karen and Andreas are getting married on Aug. 16. One of the games we played was to create a wedding dress for Barbie. Tim's mom, Shyler and I tried, but sadly we were not voted into the top 3, Maybe next time.
So that is some of our crazy life lately. We are excited for tomorrow and as soon as we sign our life away with a house and a mortgage we'll let you all know and even put up some pictures. If you're around and free and want to help, we'll be moving in on Sat. Aug 2!
