Date night!

Yeah for date nights! Drew and I have been able to go out a few times this summer just the two of us...thanks for Buddy, Gigi and Aunt Kelly. This date we went and hiked Adam's Falls in Grand Lake...on our way home we saw these two huge bull moose. The other one is bedded down so you can barely see him. We had a great time (even though Dax went a bit ballistic while we were gone, refusing to take a bottle...he loves his mommy). I love my husband and really cherish these times we get together.

3 months old!

Dax-a-do is 3 months old! Everyone told me that after two months things would get easier...I am happy to report that they are correct. Dax hit 2 months and life got so much easier. He is not sleeping 9-10 hours at night, taking great naps during they day, and smiling like a maniac...those these pictures would say otherwise. He seems to be a bit camera shy, and gets pretty focused on the thing in his face rather than his crazy parents who are doing all they can to get him to smile for the camera. He is such a joy and a true reward from the LORD!

Impossible prayer answered!

Not sure why I haven't blogged about this...God definitely deserves praise for this! This spring we had a speaker on campus encouraging us to make an impossible prayer list and really pray in faith. So that night we did. On our way home Drew and discussed what we each had on our list. We each put a family vehicle on our list, because with Dax coming soon we could barely fit our stoller into the trunk...let alone everything else we would need when we travel with him. Well, we spent time praying together as we drove home from Nav Night and asked God to provide us with a family vehicle. THE NEXT MORNING my dad called (he did this secretly between he and Drew) and asked Drew if we were in the market for a family vehicle. NO ONE knew we had just prayed for this the night before, so Drew nearly fell off the bed when my dad asked him that. Drew said we just started praying for one and my dad said, "well, I bought a new Sequoia and instead of trading my old one in I thought you might like to have it since your family is expanding." So when they came out to meet Dax for the first time the surprised me by giving us this 8 passenger amazing vehicle...leather interior, heated seats, sun roof...AMAZING! God continues to do immeasuralby more than we could ask or imagine.

The joys of motherhood

This is one of the MANY times that Dax has spit up down my shirt. Its funny how he finds a way to miss the burp cloth and spit up all over me. Oh well...its only a season...right?

Dax-a-Doodle is 2 months!

Its hard to believe 2 months have already gone by! We love Dax so much and are having more fun with him as each day passes by. He is becoming so interactive now. He is smiling and cooing all the time...I could sit with him forever and just "talk" to him.

Haugs come to visit!

My sister, her husband and their four kids came to visit us in Colorado just before the 4th of July. We had a great time with them...Jack got taken to the hospital after a wild ride on a sheep during Muttin Bustin at the Granby Rodeo...he did get first place though. The first pictures are daddy just being silly with Dax...we were laughing at all the hysterical things we could take pictures of since he can't say "no" yet. He is so fun!
