Catch up....

So here is a brief summary of what we've been up to the last couple weeks.  So much has taken place, so many pictures, but no time to post & write about everything.  Wish I had more time.  Let's see, some highlights for sure are: Max finally crawls at 9 months old (he has his big sister beat by 2 months, yes our kids are late with the crawling/walking stuff), Bart & I celebrated another year of life and are so thankful for our many blessings, and good times with friends.

My helper Zoe set the table all by herself

I'm impressed!

Daddy's Birthday Dinner

Zoe was very eager to blow the candles out and eat some carrot cake

2 Days Later, Daddy cooked for Mommy by taking us all out for dinner

And cheesecake for dessert...yumm!

Max was soooo crashed when we got home

Nothing could wake this sleep boy

One of my best friends from college came over to watch the kiddos so we could go on a date.  Rach & Zoe enjoyed an evening of playing ponies.  Can't say I missed anything.  :)

Downtown Denver

Zoe's friends having a birthday party (I thought this was pretty cute)...and have I mentioned Zoe is obsessed with birthday parties?!?!  Well, she is. 

Max reading up on the latest style trends...or getting ready to shred my magazine to pieces.  What a mess!

Max the crawler

Zoe is really into coloring and painting lately...I love to see her use her creative side.

And Max LOVES when Daddy gets out the guitar and plays.  Future musician?

Such a fun play date with the Reimers!

Sweet Baby Gage

So sweet, Celine & son Gage

What a blessing it is to be so close to Celine & her family.  Our kiddos are about the same age, so its so nice to share similar mommy stories/laughs/frustrations/etc. with not only someone who is going through it at the same time, but a good friend too.  Celine is a wonderful mommy & is such a beautiful person inside and out. 

Love these pics...Lane is pushing Zoe around in his car.  What a sweetheart.

Zoe is thoroughly enjoying this
