One day we went to a an Island called Isla Mujeres and spent the day at a place called Garrafon Discovery. First we went shopping for a few hours and then headed to Garrafon Discovery where we spent the day zip lining, watching dolphins swim, swimming and even snorkeling, Snorkeling was a big deal for me because the first time I tried I kinda of had a panic attack and have not attempted it again! This time I made it for almost 30 minutes.

The cute dolphins!

Michelle and Scott also spent the day on the Island with us.

Stacy snorkeling.

On the boat ride back from the Island they asked for volunteers for a competition and of course I volunteered Stacy. The contest was putting a coin in your butt (outside of your shorts of course) and then hoping forward and dropping the coin in a small glass.

Stacy was the first one to go and the ONLY one to complete the mission....he won a bottle of Tequila.

On our last night we went and show the hotels production of Grease and then went out for a while with Michelle and Scott.

The weather was perfect the entire trip we did not get any rain until the day we were leaving.

The day before we left we asked the hotel photographer to take a picture of us on the beach. Before we new it he had taken over 50 picture. Here are a few of them:

Sunday Fun Days

During the few weeks before and after the Democratic National Convention Stacy was working most of the Sundays. Tegan and I started a tradition of going to Starbucks after church. He has really enjoyed it and gets super excited when they call his name for his hot chocolate.

The Sara Evans Concert

On September 14th my mom and I went to the Sara Evans concert for my birthday. It was at the Budweiser Event Center in Louisville. We had a blast and Sara Evans put on a great concert!

Arvada Harvest Day Parade

Last weekend Stacy, Tegan and I met Tegan's little girlfriend from school, Jackie and her parents, Dave and Amy at the Arvada Harvest Day Parade. Tegan and Jackie were supper excited to see each other outside of school.

Jackie and Tegan loved all of the candy at the parade!

True Love!

Tegan was a dancing machine at the parade.

Time to cool off.

We had lots of fun at the parade and I managed to get a really short video of Tegan and Jackie.

Happy Birthday Jewels

Jewel's 11th Birthday was on September 5th and we went to Casa Bonita for Dinner!

Another Birthday Celebration

On Labor Day our neighbors Matt, Juliette and Baby Richie came over to BBQ and celebrate my birthday. Juliette made me a yummy German Chocolate Cake!

Tegan's Obstacle Course

One of Tegan's new things to do is take all of the pillows off of the couch and make obstacle course! We really have no idea why but it keeps him really busy!

Then he will pretend to sleep and snore for while...it is pretty amusing to watch.

Here's a short video.

Grapes, Grapes and more Grapes!

Stacy was working the weekend before last so Sunday evening Tegan and I headed over to my parents. My mom has a grape arbor in her backyard and started making grape jelly a few years ago. I decided to try and learn how to make and can the jelly. It turned out great but is a ton of work! Maybe next summer I will make something out of the apples on our apple tree.

Sprinkler Park

On Sunday Tegan was back to feeling great so we headed down to the Sprinkler Park.

As soon as we get there Tegan is straight in the water.

Waiting for the water....

Lunch Break

Happy Birthday to me.

My 28th Birthday was on Friday August 29th. We had originally planned on going out to dinner with my parents, Jewels and Marlene to Benihanas. Our plans changed a little bit due to Tegan not feeling well. We got a call from daycare on Friday that he had a 103 temp. I called Stacy and he was on his way to get him. We only live 5 minutes from the daycare! Once he got there they said Tegan had just got done having a seizure. Stacy took him straight to the doctor which is actually across the street from daycare. They checked him out and just said it was another febrile seizure. Apparently there is nothing we can do about it either...just try to keep his temp. down when he gets fevers! It is really frustrating. To make things more aggravating I was in Colo. Springs for a training and all I wanted to do was be home with him. It happened at noon and I did not get home till 5pm. So needless to say our plans changed a bit! We ended up having pizza and everyone came over to our house. It was actually the perfect birthday celebration in my mind!

Check out Tegan's cheeks ready to blow out the candles!

Sometimes a mommy just has to take kisses.

Marlene, Jewels and Tegan. My mom was taking all of the pictures during the night and somehow I ended up with no pictures of her or Jeff!

Jewels and Tegan cuddling at the end of the night.

Lots of pee pee going on!

Our days lately are spent with Tegan in the nude and the potty very close!

He has been doing very well going potty and he is so proud of himself! It is so cute to here him start singing the pee pee potty song and tell his pee pee goodbye. He has even gone #2 in the potty three times.

It has been a little bit of an adjustment for him to wear big boy undies! We did have somewhat of a success the other night. We were in the front yard watering the flowers and he had his undies on. All the sudden Tegan started saying, "Potty Potty." I did not have time to to get the potty so before I knew it he had his undies down and was helping me water the flowers!
