Summer Fun

We're trying to utilize the amenities in our apartment complex while the weather is so nice. We've been spending some time at the park and the pool. The weather here has been amazing and we're told it is supposed to stay nice through October. We definitely don't miss the 100+ weather in Las Vegas right now!

If Ian were a cartoon character....

We decided if Ian were a cartoon character he would be Mater from Cars, notice the similarities in their teeth!

Colorado Rapids Game

Last night we went up to Denver to see the Colorado Rapids play. We decided to get dinner first at PF Changs. Ian and Dustin watched the baseball game...... Then Ian turned his chopstick into a baseball bat.

The game was a lot of fun. They gave Ian and Ava both a soccer ball when we first got into the stadium. The Rapids played Chivas USA and won 4-0. It was a really great game. Ian was able to follow what was going on a little bit, but everytime a plane flew over he was sure to see that. I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of the player, I guess we were having too much fun watching the game. A little boy in front of us who was 5 or 6 said it best at the end of the game, "this team is too easy." With a win like that he was right!

Here's a tired Ian walking out to the car after the game.

A Fun Week Makes One Really Long Post

Dustin's parents Sandy and Gary also came out to visit us on July 24th. They stayed for a whole week and we had a blast! We started out Saturday morning going to a Pioneer Day activity at City Park. We had lunch and they had free rides for the kids. Surprisingly we got Ian on most of the little kid rides.














Sandy hung out with Ava while we went on a few rides.














While riding on this car all he kept saying was "Go Fast" over and over.

Here you will notice he is pointing down, because he wanted to get off. The little girl next to him was nice enough to ride with him, since it's too small for adults.

I had to include this picture to show the bizzare weather in Pueblo. This is a hailstone Gary picked up from the grass outside our house. There is a saying here, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes". It is so true the weather changes So quickly here. Also the day of this storm Sandy and Gary treated me to a much needed massage and when we went to the spa there were branches and leaves all over the ground from the hailstorm, and a bunch of people's cars had been dented. It was crazy.

Tuesday we went to the Zoo, and Ian cried until Gary would take him on the Merry-Go-Round.

Ava's first trip to the zoo.

The Giraffes are Ian's favorite.

Gary and Ian fed the Giraffes some crackers.

Wednesday and Thursday we went down to the Riverwalk.

We tried to get some pictures of Ian and Ava but Ian didn't want to hold her.

They headed home on Friday, but not before we got some cute photos of them with the kids.

We painted Ava's toes for the first time.

We had such a great time this week. Thanks for coming out and for all your help with Ian and Ava!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Croft

Dustin's Grandparents came out to visit us on the 24th of July. Unfortunately I only got one picture of them. They drove out in their RV and stayed for the weekend. It was great seeing them. Ava's middle name is after Dustin's Grandma, so it was great that she could see her namesake. Thanks for driving out to see us!

Ava's Outfits

Here is a small sample of Ava's outfits. She has so many 0-3 months clothes. There will be more photos to come. Thanks to all who donated to her wardrobe.
