Firefighter Tanner
These are pictures my Dad sent of Tanner's graduation on Thursday.
So proud of my brother for his accomplishments and finding a profession he loves.
Sending much love from Vegas to you!

Colton wore his firefighter pjs and we read his fire truck books tonight in honor of Uncle Tanner. |
our week @28months
Colton was still recovering Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so we hung out around the house and didn't do swim lessons. Wednesday night we went to Andrea's to hang out and the kids played. Thursday and Friday he returned to swim class.
It's incredibly warm...112-118 degrees this week so if we do anything it happens in the morning and come home for lunch then nap for Colton and rest time for me. The afternoons tend to get a bit long with a toddler that has so much energy, yet we manage and find creative, cool things to do indoors. :)

sick little guy. @28months
We had a sick little boy last weekend. :(
His fever started around dinner time on Thursday and it didn't stop rising until it hit 103.8 on Saturday evening.
After calling the doctor at midnight on Friday when it was 103.5
to a doctor's office visit to be told it was a virus and possibly roseola if a rash shows up later
to the fever breaking on Sunday at 1:00pm
to a rash (sure enough!) Monday morning
to the rash spreading all over his body by Wednesday
....it's been a long week of our little guy not feeling well.

Friday morning snuggles with Momma. |

he was interested in playing outside Friday morning for about 20 minutes. Then he wanted "couch. Momma." to rest. |

We watched hours of Thomas the train and Imagination Movers since all he wanted was to be held on the couch. |

Sunday morning (left) asleep on the couch and on Mommy. Sunday evening (right) happy boy once the fever broke! |

Colton fell asleep holding onto his bus Sunday morning while snuggling with Daddy. |

Sunday afternoon. Doesn't this just break your heart?? It did ours. So hard when your baby is sick. |

Sunday evening. You can tell he feels so much better. And that he had lots of experience with the thermometer over the past few days. He wanted to take his own "tem-r-chure". Such a cutie. |

Sunday before bed. Our little monkey. :) |

summer time! @28 weeks.
This week Colton had swim lessons at 9am and it worked so much better with our schedule. Well, kinda. Mommy and Colton were very social this week with lots of fun activities after swim class so we still were racing to get home for nap at a decent hour. But it's summer! And it was such a great week!
Friday we were supposed to go to the splash park with Amy, Andrea, and kids but Colton had a fever. :(
In the midst of it all....Wes is starting the 3rd and final summer for Week of Hope. Tuesday he dropped all the items we've been storing in the garage (thank goodness...now more space for baby stuff!!) off at the church. Wednesday morning he met with the summer staff. Thursday he took his Memorial Day weekend comp day and helped the summer staff get things situated at the church and made a huge Costco run. (So thankful he did this. I shopped at Costco with the summer staff last year and had Colton in tow. It was rough.) This year's summer staff are the sweetest married couple--Kristin and Paul. We had them over for dinner Thursday and Friday night. Saturday morning before work, Wes went again with them to Costco to finish up the items needed for the week.
Phew. It's been busy and so fun. Have I mentioned how much I love summer??
We can't wait to see what God has planned for this final summer for Week of Hope in Las Vegas. Big things. I just know it.

Monday I had accidentally left some gummy life savers on the counter during Colton's nap. He had 4--and saved this last green one in his hand for over an hour. I thought it was adorable. |

He colored & held the green "can-nee". He had a snack. He played cars. He watched a tv show. And still...the "can-nee" stayed put in his cute little hand. |
