Telluride

We were able to go to Jim's wedding in September (thanks again mom!) in Telluride, CO. It was great to meet Jim's wife and baby boy and see lots of old friends.

We're Back!!!

We're back on the blog after a long break. Eventually I will post more pictures (and change the name, since the reference to Denver no longer applies), but this will have to do for now. Enjoy...

Deacon's First Haircut

I was somewhat dreading this day, but I knew it had to come. We couldn't fight it anymore, Deacon desperately needed a new fad. He had such beautiful hair, but he started to develop a bit of a "Donald Trump" poof so it had to go. It is amazing how much more he and Carter look alike now and how big he looks. He has also been trying to go to bathroom on the toilet lately....scary!

Let's Match

I never, ever make the boys wear matching outfits, but yesterday I just couldn't resist. Most people don't know this about me, but I have a huge obsession with Gingham (especially Buffalo Check Gingham), stripes, polka dots and toile. I always have loved these prints and patterns and always will. Given my deep love for gingham I had to do it. They boys had fun matching for the day and one lady at the mall actually asked me if they were twins...uh, seriously? She was the perfume lady, and after she made that comment I understood why she was the perfume lady.

Dunkin Donuts

For several months now, Brent and the boys have been going to Dunkin Donuts every Saturday and Sunday morning for a donut run. It has kinda become "their thing" and all of the ladies at the donut shop love them (so i'm told), and give the boys free donut holes while they are waiting for Brent to check out. So cute, so fun and so fattening!!!!

C-A-R-T-E-R

Carter has been playing a lot with his Doodle pad lately and his new drawing obsession is letters. The other day he wrote his name for the very first time on his doodle pad so I had him do it again so I could share it with everyone. My writing is at the top (and in a straight line), Carter's is below.....that should be obvious.

As most of you know, Carter is obsessed about drawing and often carries around a piece of paper or his doodle pad so that he can create beautiful works of art (or stick figures without neck or bodies) and so naturally now Deacon is obsessed with drawing. They both have had doodle pads attached to their hips for the last few weeks and it is so funny, because if Carter draws something and wants me to look at it, then Deacon has to scribble on his pad and makes me look. I am worried that I might get a serious case of whiplash. It is very cute....

Grandma's Old Furniture

Some of you may recognize this piece of furniture. That's right, this is grandma & grandpa G's old hutch from the dining room. I took the doors off (saving them for a later project) and painted the rest of it. I moved it to the living room and love how it turned out. I think even Brent was a little bit impressed. Thought you all might like to see it!!!
