The Sandbox

I am a little behind on our posts. Father's Day weekend Jamie decided it was time to build Cole a sandbox. He was starting to get bored in the backyard and absolutely loved when we went to a friend's house and they had one. Jamie doesn't mess around when he builds so of course Cole got the deluxe edition. He absolutely loves it and we spend many hours outdoors in the evenings now watching him dig :)

Helping Dad build the cover to keep the cats out.

Observing the construction.

Ready to help with his Carharts and stay hydrated with his Vitamin Water

Totally digging it and the cool turtle pool even fits inside!

Omaha/Dubuque

First came the plane ride...

Then the 1.5 hour delay in Denver...

Gotta love me some Satrbucks...

Happy Camper!

Finally in the Dubuque and on the John Deere!!

Memorial Day Weekend

We went for a gorgeous hike on Memorial Day on what is called the Drinking Horse Trail. First hike of the year since the weather has been so cruddy so we were all itching to get out!

A little bit unsure about being outside of the backpack!



We saw some people with goats along the way. Yes, goats as pets. Only in Montana!!





The dinosaur park is one of our new favorite places. We can now walk there since they have finished paving the backroads in our subdivision and we get to avoid the busy streets. Cole seems to enjoy it a ton and we all love to be outside!!

First time almost all by himself!

Such determination on his face :)

Holy cow can you tell they are related....

First Ice Cream Cone

Cole has had ice cream before but yesterday was the first time I actually let him hold the cone. Needless to say he loved it!

1st haircut and fun with friends!

Cole and his buddy Geno!
