47th times a charm

Well, if I had half a brain, I would never have tried to put all this in one post. This post has caused more anxiety than the last year of parenting...and that is saying A LOT! It will still be in some random order I am sure despite my best efforts of trying to stay chronological, but hopefully it is close. So, I am starting out back in May and we are traveling super speed through the summer. Sorry to Britt in advance because somehow her pics got deleted. OK...here we go.

Cute boys don't ya think!



Okay, so this is where I started two months ago thinking I wasn't too far behind.

But, maybe next week I will post about Lane's birthday, my birthday, my dad's birthday, our trip to Cody over Labor Day, and the awesome time we are having here in Colorado. Yeah right. It is almost 1am, nearly 4 hours past my bedtime, and I'll be lucky if I get back to this within a month. We'll see:)
