I Need A Napkin

It has become very apparent to me over the last few weeks that Joseph is beoming my little "Monk". He loves playing, and enjoys eating but as soon as he has a mess anywhere on him you had better be ready with a napkin to clean it up or it's meltdown city.

I was remembering the other day when Joseph and I were fingering painting a few weeks ago and he was having a blast but everytime he got paint on his fingers we had to wipe it off instantly. It took quite a while to finish that paint mastrepiece (But it was so much fun to see how happy he was.)

I Love my little Monk so much. He is the greatest joy in my life.

Fun In The Sun

Last week for play group we went to this AWESOME park that had a bunch of little pools for the kids to play in, and they had a blast.

Issac throughly enjoying being splashed by Joseph. He couldn't stop laughing it was so cute.

Reaching New Heights

So a few weeks ago I had this GREAT idea. I wanted to conquer my fear of heights, so I thought it would be fun to climb a rock wall. (WHAT WAS I THINKING??) I got Sarah, Jen, and Jessica to go with me. I wasn't to nervous until I saw THE WALL and I immediately changed my mind, but my loving friends(totally still love you all :)told me they would leave me there if I didn't at least try it. I did it and once I got past the sweaty hands, butterflies in my stomach, and my racing heart I had a BLAST! Sarah and I making our ascent.
Here we are halfway up at 34ft.

I finally made it! 67ft. up, it's the highest wall in the state.

Way to go Jessica, You are a rockstar!

FOUR!!

On Memorial Day we had a great family day. In the morning we went frisbee golfing and by we I mean Ben and Sam, I was busy chasing Joseph. Later that day we relaxed at home and Ben caught up on some much needed rest. Sam and Ben getting ready to toss.

Look at me Mommy! I'm king of the hill.

I love to splash in the puddles.

Play Ball

Ben and I got a chance to see the Rockies play the Mets a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. I hadn't been to a game in years and I had forgotten how much fun they could be. We had great seats, they were up just high enough and we could see the whole field, and 20min. into the game we had 2 home run balls land within 200ft. of where we were sitting(No we weren't lucky enough to catch one), but we still had a great time.
