We have such a CUTIE!

AJ brings us so much joy and so many smiles! Words can't explain how blessed we feel to be parents of such a great little boy. Here are just a few pictures to show some of the things he has been "up to" lately.

AJ loves to be daring! He is now standing on his little red car. "Look Mom! No hands! But I'll close my eyes in case I fall. "

AJ eats his very own bbq chicken leg! "Yeah- this is yummy!"

One day I took care of Ty and AJ. These two boys get along so well. They make each other laugh all the time. Whatever Ty does, AJ tries to do. Whatever AJ has, Ty wants and AJ usually gives it to him without a fight. (Ty is much bigger, AJ doesn't stand a chance)



A few weeks ago we had our backyard landscaped. It looks so much nicer. Now there is a safe place for AJ to run and play. Well, he is supposed to play on the grass, but the steps look like fun too. It's a good thing we got the new Baby Guard Fence.

AJ discovers how fun puddles can be.

Ahh- here's the grass. "Look mom, I am getting the hang of walking on grass!"

Tiff and Brian's Wedding

Tiffany and Brian are now Married! April 29th was the big day. We are so excited for the two of them. The wedding day was a beautiful day, tons of fun, and VERY busy. Because Walt and I had our hands full with our duties of being part of the wedding (me a Bride's maid and AJ the ring bearer) and being parents to a 15 month old "runner" we didn't get to take many pictures. In fact, we have very few. We are relying on friends and family to give us cd's or emails including pictures from the whole day. Here are just a few of the pictures I DO have.
Here we are: Siena, Me, Tiffany, and Tracie at the Hotel Diamond. What a beautiful Bride!

Here is AJ at the end of the big day. Yes, he was supposed to be the ring bearer, but he never did make it down the aisle. He ran back to Daddy once he noticed all the people looking right at him. He sure was cute though. (Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of him with his clothes ON. I sure hope someone will give us a couple.)

Our Trip to Denver

At the very beginning of April, Walt, AJ, and I flew to Denver to visit our dear, dear friends Bryan and Megan. We stayed in their lovely home for 4 day. They were such great hosts. Bryan and Megan drove us all around; we saw and did so many thing in and around town. Thank you so much Bryan and Megan for such a wonderful time! (I am so sorry it has taken me over a month to get these pictures on my blog.)

Bryan, Megan, and Berkley in front of their charming home. Megan did an amazing job of decorating and making it "Home." We saw pictures of her Sacramento "Family" all over the walls.

AJ get acquainted with Berkley. He loves dogs. Berkley was so good at putting up with AJ always petting him or taking his ball away.

Our first full day, Bryan and Megan took us to the Butterfly Pavilion. There were so many butterflies and other insects to look at. AJ had a great time.


Here we are in front of the capital. AJ hasn't even been to the capital building in Sacramento yet.
One day we went hiking in Boulder. This was a great day trip. The views were so amazing. We hiked the trail to the "Flat Irons." We all took turns pushing or carrying AJ up and down the mountain. What a workout! AJ had a blast. He even did a little "hiking" by himself.Here is AJ and Aunt Megan on our Hike. What a great Time!

Thanks again Bryan and Megan for being such great hosts and WONDERFUL friends. We can't wait for you to come back to Sac for a visit.
