A Big Catch Up!

More photos! And probably too many!! Sumer has been so busy and fun and I just love taking photos, clearly :) New house projects, swimming, playing outside, visits & fun with Nana/Papa/Nana B, the birth of baby Aidan, playing at the park, visiting baby Turner, and many silly moments have been keeping us busy! School is back for me tomorrow and while I'm excited to see the kids again, the summer seemed too short! More fun moments to come in the fall though!
Playing peek-a-boo with Nana B (my mom's mom/my nana)
Puzzle with Nana...Madison is really good at it now. Thanks for teaching her Nana!
Madison's first pedicure
"Shocking! I'm at Starbucks with Nana!!"
Walking on Pearl Street with Nana and Nana B
Thanks for putting up our wall decoration dad!
Madison was shocked that Papa was SO high in the air! She kept saying "Oh no Papa!"
Falling down during ring around the rosie!
Our little daredevil jumping to daddy during swim class
"Hi guys!" (Papa, Nana, Nana B, and Mommy were all watching through the window)
Not sure what this mad little face was about, but I think it had to do with the fact that Madison wanted to keep sliding and everyone was ready to go in... :)
My dad relaxing by the fountain in our backyard
Thanks for teaching her this Papa...not!! Oh well, guess grandparents are allowed to break the rules sometimes. He was letting her jump off the counter into his arms.
Crusin' with Nana
SO excited to be in Costco!
Welcome Baby Turner Hancock to the world! Our good friends Dru and Pete welcomed an adorable baby boy on July 18th. We were so happy to meet him and spend time with Dru, Emery, and Turner!
Cute big sister, Emery
More babies!! Welcome beautiful baby Aidan Stockton! Our dear friends Sarah and Justin welcomed Aidan on August 9th and I was lucky enough to be at the hospital with Sarah's parents while we anxiously awaited Aidan's arrival! I got to the hospital on Monday night when Sarah was admitted and her parents and I finally heard that first cry through the door at 5:14am!!
A proud Grandma! (Sarah's mom, Sue)
He was SO worth the wait to hold!! I was so happy and honored to be there :)
Proud daddy, Justin
Swinging at Nana and Papa's house...the first thing Madison asks to do when she gets there
Looks a little confused here :)
Madison and her Nana B
Loving on Nana B the day she left...don't go home yet Nana B!!
Nana B, Madison, and Mel
Frozen yogurt at the airport...such a silly girl! She is always thinking of the most creative ways to be silly :)
Watching for Nana B to go down the escalator
Madison was so sad when Nana B left :( We LOVED having her here and wish she could live here to see us more :(
Madison and Matt meet baby Aidan...so peaceful!!
Madison did not like that I was holding another baby...at all! She kept saying, "Mommy hold you!!" :)
Kissing baby Aidan...can't wait for these kids to play together someday!
Matt admiring baby Aidan
Little Picassos, Madison and Elliot
I had just brushed Madison's hair, and she thought that it was so funny to mess it up!
Matt and Madison went on a bike ride and to lunch together the other weekend...I snuck up on them and it was too cute seeing them sit together :)
Little summer girl!
Mommys night out with Bethany and the girls! Don't worry these are not all mine :)
Another silly moment! Madison put on Matt's hat and thought it was too funny to have it on backwards!
Looks like she a little rapper!
A beautiful evening sunset driving into Boulder
Fun times at the park with Quinn and Elliot
My mom gets to meet baby Aidan...poor little guy was hungry though!
Pizza mouth...another silly moment she though of all by herself :)
And another one...3 pacifiers at once :)
Walking on the path behind our house...you can see the corner of our house behind the trees. This field is the park/Elementary school field...they are doing a few upgrades, hence the huge garbage can! A great view though of the Flatirons!
Elliot was so nice to let Madison ride his new Strider bike! Madison loved it and we really need to get her one! It doesnt have pedals and so it helps the kids to balance and learn to ride a bike the real way :)
Madison loved it!
Chillin on our bed while we got ready for the Broncos game
My first Broncos game! I have lived in Colorado for 12 years and never been to a Broncos game...it was a great time!
Club level seats with Drew and Bethany that we got from an office neighbor of Matt's
Broncos touchdown!! They won!
Headed out on a walk to the park behind our house...had to cover up her pale baby skin!
Such a little monkey!
Our little climber!
Such a big girl!
Madison climbed this whole thing by herself! Matt was simply spotting her! I always say that I will be shocked if Madison is not some sort of an athlete!
She kept wanting to go higher...
Fun family morning
When we got home from our walk, Madison wanted to keep going, so she got in her bike cart and patiently waited for dad to take her on a bike ride :)
Strawberry ice cream! Surprisingly, it did not fall off the cone!
Lovin' her cone!
Over and under...
Running...
Tickling her own belly :)
