Fun at the farm

Caden will be THREE in a couple days and he LOVES tractors! We hung out at his great aunt and uncles (aka Bill and Barb's) and good thing there were all kinds of tractors there! You may remember Caden's beautiful sister a few months ago. These kids are great!



What's really cool is that these rocks are the foundation of the barn that was torn down earlier this spring. This farm is where his Grandpa Martin grew up!



Caden wasn't too sure about some of this. He definitely kept a close eye on me! What a good looking family!



Caden was in his element on the tractors!



Thankfully we got these pics in before the weather turned gray & wet. There were still some beautiful colors at the farm!


I LOVE this one! Caden loves bugs and he spotted this grasshopper on the driveway. I didn't realize it was still alive until I starting snapping pics!


Happy 3rd birthday, Caden! I hope you have a great day!

beautiful princess is FIVE

Today, Macy turned five. I still can't believe it. Seriously, when did she go from a baby, to a chubby toddler, to such a big girl??? Sometimes, I think she acts A LOT older than she is....sigh....I wish time would slow down.

Macy and I had a great day today. We went out for lunch, shopped, stopped at Scratch bakery, took some pictures, and got her EARS PIERCED! She was so excited and did great! Plus, she looks pretty cute too. I don't know how I ended up with such a girly-girl, but I love it.

Macy, we LOVE you. You are such a beautiful and important part of our family. We can't wait to continue to watch you grow....(we are also quite thankful that you have three brothers and a protective dad to watch over you!!!!!)

Sorry for the many, many pictures.....I LOVE taking her picture!!

Chels & Dan

Yesterday I got to do my first engagement pics! Chels and Dan were great and I was luckily enough to have Kyle help me out too. :) Chelsey is Tara's sister...aunt to those great little guys you've seen on my blog before. Chels asked if I'd take her wedding/engagement pics. To be honest, I'm still a little nervous since taking pics is just a hobby of mine, but I think it'll be fun!

I took quite a few pics (definitely more than the "two" that Dan thought would be enough) and here are a few of my favorites. You can tell that they are very happy together!

Jess & I have been trying to make a date to take pics forever and this afternoon finally worked out for us! Are these boys gorgeous or what?!?!? SO proud to call these little guys my nephews! :)


Jaxon and Austin look like they could pose for a magazine!




Jaxon got a little goofy with us....he did NOT want to show his teeth! Silly boy!


These boys have A LOT of energy! Running and climbing constantly! :) Jess is one busy mama!


Since the boys smiled so well, they got to go see the water. It never fails...boys LOVE to throw rocks in water!


Check out the hands in the pockets!


Gotta love sunlight as it's setting....these boys are golden! Love you, Jaxon & Austin!

Curren had his final football game today. The really cool thing is that they get to play in the dome! Here's a pic of Curren after his game. Curren's team went 6-0. Way to go, boys!

That's Curren making the tackle. He had quite a few good hits this year. For his first year ever playing football, he did great!

Curren had quite the fan club....thanks to so many of our family for joining us!

A few weeks ago, we went and watched Bryce play for CF. I think Curren (#23) has a ways to go to catch his big cousin! :)

Although it was a lot of fun watching Curren and his team play football this year, we are very excited to watch him run next year!

brothers

Check out the hands on these boys. ADORABLE! They have such a sweet bond!


It's only been a few months since I saw these boys, but I can't believe how much Hudson has grown up! He's such a big boy now!


Tara and Justin live in town in Waverly, but have these amazing woods in their backyard. I could tell that the boys love to play back there!


Oh, Hud, you make me smile...


Hudson and his "apples" and the mini-Curren :)


Happy Anniversary, guys! You have a beautiful family!


While I was with Tara & fam, the rest of my family was checking out some old tractors plowing the field across the street from the Matthias farm. What's really cool is that this is Tara's grandpa! He definitely has great taste in tractors! :) I've seen many of these old tractors in parades in Denver, but it was cool to see them in action!

There was also this old steam-engine tractor with a very old plow. I think Myles thought it was a train with the way it sounded. :)
