Fun in the sun

Last saturday we went to my brother and sister in laws house to hang out and we ended up going swimming at their community pool. We had such a good time and it was nice to enjoy the wonderful hot Colorado sun.
Garrison just turned 1 and I am planning on posting pics of his 1 year birthday when I get them back. He was such a mess digging into his cake and it was so adorable. He is such a good little boy and we are having so much fun with him.

FEVER!

So Garrison has been cutting his 1 year molars and therefore running a fever. Poor guy has been so hot that I have been having him run around in just his diaper. He looks so darn cute! Hopefully this passes soon because he has been so miserable and hasn't been napping well either. I can tell he doesn't feel good because he has been cuddling with me and that only happens when he doesn't feel well.

Birthday present!

So my birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I got the greatest present... my in-laws were sweet enough to send me money for a cut and color. I haven't had my hair done since our wedding and I was itching to get something done but we just never had the money for it. Jared was behind the scenes of course and let them know that I had wanted this for a long time but we just couldn't afford it. I went to my favorite hair stylist in the world, my friend Crystal (who I absolutely adore) and she hooked me up. I have been going to her for the last 7 years. Jared heard me mention her name once or twice and one day when I was in the other room he grabbed my phone and got her number without me knowing. I had no clue, but he called her up and set up a hair appointment for me. What a wonderful birthday surprise. Thanks Jared:)

Getting into EVERYTHING!

He is such a happy little guy. He is always laughing and smiling:)
So handsome. I can't believe he's mine. I just adore that little face!
Guess who got into mommy's purse...
I was putting groceries away and before I knew it he was in the fridge trying to eat an orange:)


So Garrison will be 11 months old on Friday and he is getting into everything. As you will see in the pictures, he likes to play with anything that isn't a toy. He has a million toys but would rather play with everything else instead. I can't believe he will be a year next month. OH MY GOSH time flies.

Goodbye 20's!

So today is the last day of my 20's. That's right, tomorrow I turn 30! I can't believe how fast time goes. I can remember when I thought 30 was SO OLD and I don't feel that different than I did when I turned 22. When my older sisters turned 30, they cried. I can honestly say that I'm not depressed to be turning 30. I'm actually kind of excited. The 20's were great don't get me wrong, they had their ups and downs but I am looking forward to my 30's! BRING IT ON:)

St. Parick's Day Parade!

He loved being on our shoulders.

Today we went to the St. Parick's Day parade with our friends the Jardines and had a great time. The boys loved all the floats and music. We borrowed my sister-in-laws mini van so we could all go together. We were there past the boys nap time so as you can imagine they crashed on the way home.
