Catch up post

Found this note from Jack the other day.  Love him and his grammar.

These two are becoming true buddies especially now as Luke starts to see himself as a big boy and one of the brothers, not so much as the little baby of the family.  It is fun to watch their relationship bloom!

Nolan graduates from Preschool next week!!

Got my first pair of diamond solitaire earrings.  I am loving them and haven't even taken them off since getting them. 

27 weeks with Story!  Go, Belly, Go!

My 2 Jacks!  The boys were all fighting over who got to push Great Grandpa Jack at Nolan's TBall game.

Female family members!  So nice to be around them this past weekend.  Makes me even more excited to have a daughter. This is my cousin Emma, Aunt Shelli, Mom, Sister and me.

The Graduate and her proud Mama.  How gorgeous are they!?

What a weekend!

Had lots of family in town for Aunt Sam's college graduation from UNC. She got her major in Dietetics and minor in Hospitality and Tourism. She is such a smartie and we couldn't be more proud of her! More pics from that to follow. For now here are some that I have readily available :)

My mom got me these AMAZING ankle boots while we were at the mall on Thursday of last week.  We had dinner at CA Pizza Kitchen and shopped a bit with Aunt Sam too.  I stayed up late that night in my closet inventing ways to wear them with my big belly and limited maternity wardrobe.

Luke is such a buddy going to all his big brothers' baseball games.  He is THE cutest!

Swoon!!

After the graduation ceremony in Greeley, we went to this cool sculpture park to burn some little boy energy before heading to The Bent Fork for lunch to celebrate the graduate.  It's a Lawson totem pole!

My mom, Grandma Shannon, at Red Rocks.  She makes 50 look downright appealing.  I hope it's genetic.

Warren and Jack each took a turn staying at the hotel with Grandma and Grandpa.  Hotel life suits Warren quite well.  He LOVES room service and hotel pools.

Cozy in bed with hot chocolate.  Jack stayed with them the night prior and had an equally good time.  They are lucky boys!

I will be back with more pictures from the family time! It is such a cozy feeling to be around family. Being around my mom and sister and Aunt Shelli and Cousin Emma really makes me even more excited to have my own daughter on the way. There's something about that female bond that is really special.

Teacher Appreciation Day and more

Almost done planning Warren's 10th birthday party! Handing out invites later this week. This is really happening!! Double digits, wow!

I love making special invitations and birthday mailers!

Nolan with his tulips for Miss Tina and Miss Tania this morning.

Some lucky teachers were about to get flowers from 3 handsome dudes for teacher appreciation day!  Swoon!

Snuck this air freshener into Bryan's car this morning after getting it cleaned so that Grandma and Grandpa can use it this weekend.  Aunt Samantha graduates from college this Saturday! 

Daddy Time Sunday Fundays

Most Sundays lately Bryan has been taking Warren and Jack for several hours, leaving me home to catch up with only two easy snuggle bugs. This past Sunday they went hiking in Golden, took in a car show, and had lunch. What a good Daddy they have!

Root Root Root for the Rockies!

We went to the Rockies game yesterday as a family. So much fun and so many great pictures and memories.

Waiting their turn!

Pitching some heat!

Cheese!

Luke is up to bat!

Best way to travel around the park, waiting for the elevator to go check out the rooftop.

The whole Lawson lineup...minus Story!

Jack attack!  What a beautiful day, doesn't get any better than this.

Rally caps on!  The Rockies scored EIGHT points in the 5th inning!

Out past bedtime under the lights taking in an exciting game- one happy kid!

Can't wait to go back on May 18th for Little League Day...which happens to be Luke's birthday. Can't think of a better way for him to spend his 2nd birthday!

Spring Time

Spring is definitely in full force.

The belly is blooming at 24 weeks.  My belly button hurts.

Luke loves playing in his Bilbo toy.

My Lilac is blooming!

I'm loving bright colors and long wavy hair :)

Luke is loving all the time spent at baseball fields. I'll let the pictures do the talking!

This was all yesterday.

Well, last night was the first night we truly had to divide and conquer the Little League schedule. Jack and Nolan both had games at the exact same time at different places. Here I am on the way to Jack's game with Warren and Luke. Bryan of course went to Nolan's game since he is coaching him.

Couple of coin nerds, up until way past bedtime going through Bryan's old coin collection and getting back into state quarter boards new and old. 

These two.  Words can't even capture their bond haha... 

This guy is pretty special too, serving as my alarm clock every day.  Can't find his snooze button yet.

And now today I went to get Rock Pile tickets to the Rockies game since the boys have an early release day from school, but they were sold out. So we will just go get Spiderman icecream from Baskin Robins and watch the game at home. Then Warren has a baseball game tonight! Oy...

Newly Minted

We were going to go to a cool park playground and kill some time before lunch and our scheduled Denver Mint tour. But then the boys stumbled upon this beach volleyball court and happily played for 2 hours. Sand, sunshine, snacks and sticks. It was a good time.

Then we headed to a Pho restaurant for lunch. Yummy!

And then finally off to the tour downtown. This pictures makes me go "whoa!" Totally never imagined in a million years I'd be this lucky.

Warren scored a couple silver dollar baseball hall of fame coins and a board to start the state park quarter collection. He officially has the coin collection bug like his Dad!
