Busy Summer

Our first summer with Layton is slated to be a full one. It has become more important to Evan and I to be more active and help create fun memories for Layton; similar to the ones we both grew up with!

Our summer activities include:
1. Co-ed Softball
2. Mommy and Me swim class
3. Lake House weekends
4. Spending time with friends and family at summer outings
5. Farming

We enjoyed our second and third b-b-ques this weekend. Memorial Day weekend started us off with a kbob cookout in Greeley, CO at Evan's Uncle Larry's and Aunt Patti's. We had a nice time and enjoyed the screened in porch; free from bugs! Memorial Day weekend also included a shopping trip - yeah for Layton, he spent most of the day in the stroller with us going through stores and never once complained!! Evan and I even got away for 2 1/2 hours to go and see the new Star Trek!

Back to this weekend; Friday night was a b-b-que pork at Lobmeyer's with a ton of their family it was a nice time. Saturday night Ty and Randy hosted a party for Randy's birthday; another fun evening. Layton does so well when we stay our past his bedtime, we take his jammies and get him ready for bed and put him to sleep wherever we are. He is then ready for bed upon arriving home!

Have a great week and more summer updates and photos to come!

Where has the past month gone! Layton is growing and changing and is the most adorable boy in the county (all parents say that but really he is!) He rolled over a week ago, held his own bottle and is learning how to make "new" noises. One of his favorite games right now is to mimick the noise you just made, he listens, ponders about 30 seconds, then tries it out himself - and is very good!

It's about time for the next round of shots, he will be 4 months old Sunday! He is still sleeping through the night and teeth are surly on the horizon as much as he drools and chews; nursing is still going well, we may start him on ceral over the next few weeks..more stories and photos to come with that!

Hope you all had a nice Mother's Day - we celebrated the weekend in Woodston with my family and made it back to Towner Sunday evening to share dinner with Evan's mom. Layton is one lucky little boy getting to see both grandmas, great-grandma and Mom all in one day!

Mother's Day 2009 - we were back with my family in Woodston.
