First Day of School (Sept 2013)

Baxter began preschool on September 3rd!!!  My my...where has the time gone?
He really loves going to school and meeting new friends. 
And Mom enjoys having a few mornings to herself.  LIFE IS GOOD!
 
Breakfast with Daddy! 
 Getting pumped up on the deck before heading down to town.
A little play time before heading into school. 
 He has his name tag on, but he's not sure what comes next.
His wonderful teacher greets each child at the door. 
 

Treasure (August 2013)

Baxter says...."Mom, I have an idea."  (and whispers) "Wanna go find some treasure?!"  That's right, we have discovered rich treasure grounds near our home and visit the area frequently.


It's so much fun to have such great adventures with our amazing little boy.

  

Great Gatsby Party (August 2013)

As the summer season came to an end, we celebrated with friends at the Outing Club by attending a Great Gatsby party.  Such a memorable event!

Camping On The Beach (August 2013)

It was a blast to camp on the beach at Lake McConaughy with our Denver friends. 

Our new "family-size" tent that gave us plenty of room to spread out.  
Having an air mattress and a new CARS sleeping bag ensured
a good night's sleep for our little camper. 
Baxter loved running around with the other kids, playing beach games, swimming, roasting marshmallows and even took his bike into the water a few times.  Crazy kid!
Harvey too enjoyed the beach ~found comfort in the car, the tent and at water's edge.

GOOD TIMES!!!
