Bragging Rights

Okay so I know that I am partial, but I quite possibly have the cutest nephew in the world. My lovely sister and Craig make one good looking kiddo! Jamie sends me about a picture a day of Jax and I have been known to show anyone who will take a moment nearly every single picture I have of the little man. Here a few of my favorites that I have received in the last few weeks.

Love you, baby J!

Baby's first Halloween!

Proud big sister and Jax.Have you ever seen a happier baby?!

 Really cannot tell that Jax is their first grandchild, huh?!

Such a good momma!



Raking Leaves

Today was a lazy day around the house. We were going to head up to the mountains to see Dan's family, but decided to hang back due to the weather. It gave us an opportunity to do a few things around the house that we were lagging on like raking up the leaves. Which I don't think I have had to do in quite a long time!

Jane and Tom's Wedding

On Sunday, we went to the most elegant and beautiful wedding. Our friends Jane and Tom got married at the Greenbriar Inn in Boulder. The weather was perfect. Jane had told me that they had based their vows based upon writing love letters to one another and had not shared their writings until the ceremony. I feel so privledged to have been a part of their special day. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn! Oh and they had a magician at their wedding - how cool is that?! Even more awesome, the magician was Lamot from Shorty's!

Rock Creek Farms

Our friends Alex and Courtney took us to Rock Creek Farms to pick out pumpkins. We decided to take Jack because we wanted him to meet their black lab, Moose. The interaction between the two doggies was hilarious to watch. Moose is a very laid back, well behaved dog, and very large. And then here is Jack, small, full of energy, and maybe not so well behaved.

Here are a few pictures of Jack.

And Puppy Makes 3

Dan and I have been wanting to get a dog for a long time. I really wanted one last year when we lived in Boulder, but Dan wanted to wait until we could have a yard. No matter what I said, he wouldn't budge. So instead, we bought a house with a yard! In June we bought the house and we moved in the later half of July. Our first week in the house we doggy-sat for Lucy and Charlotte (Jonathan and Kathy's dogs). They were so much fun that we decided it was time to start looking for one of our own. Originally, we had wanted a chocolate lab. I am not sure why or how we knew that was the breed we wanted, but we did. We also knew what we would name our dog - Jack. Yes, this is the name of Jamie and Craig's son, but we have witness' that we selected this name first :)

Anyway, we began casually looking for dogs at the humane society and asking around about breeds. Dan's parents have a blue heeler and we have been so impressed with her behavior and personality. I mentioned to Wayne that I wanted a dog who was as disciplined as Trudy. He then said back to me, the behavior is in the breed, not the dog. And there became our quest to find an Australian Cattle Dog - Blue Heeler/Red Heeler.

We had gone on a hike with our friends Alex and Courtney who have a black lab mix who they got from a shelter who brought the dogs to PetCo. On our way home from the hike we had run some errands and passed by the 'Puppy Adoptions Today' sign at PetCo. Dan asked me if I wanted to go check it out. As we parked Dan asked me, 'you know the rules, right?' In which I replied, 'we are gonna get one!'

And less than an hour later, we brought Jack home :)
