The whole month of JULY

This month flew by.
This month the camera acted up.
This month I was super busy with school.
This month Tae got 4 more teeth, learned to furniture walk, ate cheese, said Kiki (kitty), hi, & dude, and climbed the stairs!

We went to Wisconsin last weekend. We have calculated that Tae has flown around 10,000 miles already. He used to be a terrific flyer.... but now that he is very mobile, he is very frustrated on the plane. It also didn't help that he came back with the croup. Thanks to a sick relative that came over to visit and didn't warn us. IT SUCKS because Tae is really miserable right now. Other than that, the trip was nice.

My Typical Weekend?

Saturday: Go to "Tipsys" to look for Gluten -Free beer. The store claims to have over 1800 different types of beer. Dada is calling BS.

Sunday Morning: A little Packer football. Watch out Favre!

Sunday Afternoon: Attend my first Gay Parade. The Hawaiian shirt fits in just fine with this crowd.
Gawd, I hope that belly doesn't scar me ...

First Summer Day

Madeline, Tae, James, and Justin

Madeline, Tae, and Justin (and Sea Turtle)

BOY... I am all pooped!


To celebrate Tae's first Summer day, we went to the pool with all his friends. It was fun watching Tae splash and look very serious as Justin and Madeline took turns taking him around the pool!

The Big Weekend!

The Stadium Stampede- Invesco Mile High Stadium!

This is Tae's Serious Race Face!

Good Job Da Da, Good Job Son!


Boy I am pooped..... snooze.


Saturday we had a nice little birthday party for the banker. It ended up being around 90 degrees with some nice breeze. The babysitter that was supposed to take care of Tae flaked out on us... actually she just bailed out early. So it was a little challenging to get ready with Baby Tae wanting constant attention. He is teething, has an ear infection, has goopy eyes, and wants to walk. I was just sooooo busy that I forgot to take pictures. For that I am regretful.

Sunday was Banker's first Da Da Day. Banker and Tae participated in the Stadium Stampede at the Mile High Stadium. It was their first race together. It was a gorgeous day and once again, Tae beat daddy by a second or two.

Lunch with Tae's Fiance

I forgot to post the pictures of beautiful Madeline. She loves Baby Tae and wonders if he is her fiance. We had lunch at the Peach Garden and visited the new bookstore and icre-cream store!

Don't drop me Madeline!

Gotta catch up on the nap.

Children's Museum of Denver

Today we went to the Children's Museum. Baby Tae seemed really happy to just sit, watch, and observe. He is a little too young for the really good stuff but it didn't stop us from having some fun! We love new experiences and being out of the house! Enjoying another gorgeous day in Colorado.

I think this is a nest, and the fake grass feels very odd!

Next meal?

The first few moments at the museum.... just observing.

The Caterpillar spins and spins...

These stars make music when you pound on it!

Baby Aspens!

Ahoy Mates!
(He makes me a little nervous with all this standing!)
