Vegas Baby!!!

Marc, Lisa & Maddie went to visit Lisa's family in Vegas a few weekends ago, and I just had to share the wonderful pictures!! Maddie will be 7 months old on the 25th and we can't believe how fast she is growing!! She is eating baby food and crawling...next she will be asking for makeup and a car...ahhhhhh!!!

We will be visiting Newport Beach with Papa, Bic, Marc, Lee Lee & Maddie in September and I will be sure to post the millions of pictures we are sure to have!!! I will also be posting some recent pictures of Benny as I think he is feeling a little left out!!! He is walking all over the place and loves to talk and EAT everything in site - he is also Totally fearless and will most likely be our little dare devil...god help us!!!

Our Little Orange Belt!!!

Chris earned his orange belt in karate last week and he was sooo excited!!! He has really been loving his classes and it's clear that his self esteem and confidence is building with every class! Pardon the grainy pictures as I forgot my camera and had to use my camera phone. We are so proud of our little man!

WE LOVE OUR FAMILY!!!!

We had the amazing pleasure of being able to take a week off and visit our family...finally...in Grand Junction, Colorado and the surrounding areas and we had a FANTASTIC time! It had been about 2 years since we saw everyone and we had a chance to see all of the family - what a blast!!! We just wanted the Colorado crew to know how lucky we feel to have such wonderful family up there! You are truly all a blessing in our lives and words just can't express how special you all are to us!! Thank you for such an amazing visit - can't wait to see you again next year...this time we make it all the way to Telluride!!! LOVE YOU!! Bud, LN, Toph & Benny!!
