Memorial Day at the Anderson Farm

 When Tim was working the AIA Ultimate Training Camp in Minneapolis, I took the boys for a road trip with friends to see some friends! I asked the boys to back some things for the van ride and they all got their safety goggles:)

 Kendra borrowed her mom's Suberban and off we went: 2 moms and 6 kiddos!

Britta and Steven moved from Fargo to Litchfield last year. Kendra is moving from Fargo to California this week so it was both a reunion and a farewell:) :(

 There is so much to do at the farm!! Hiking, animals, frogs to catch...

 Golf cart rides...

 Chickens to catch! 

We even got to watch a parade...

 And had lots of time to catch up!! I love these dear friends!!

Crosby's June 2013 Update

He's a charmer! Cros has won the hearts of many out here in FoCo. One fun thing from this past month is that his vocabulary continues to grow leaps and bounds. My favorite is when he tried to say Coops and it comes out "Choops" or "Poo Poop"!!

Look at that sweet face:)

 A one year old boy takes on a chocolate cupcake!

 Another hair cut...made him look so much older

 We keep a pretty tight nap schedule in the afternoon but occasionally in the morning Cros just gets too tuckered out to wait:)

 He still LOVES swinging...for how active he is, I'm surprised by how long he will just sit and sway.

 A random quirk...Crosby loves the small broom and dustpan that we brought for our apartment. He frequently sweeps for us! 

 Love that smile!!

 I think I've posted a pic of all the boys with our roommate Levi. I'm so surprised by how interested all three of them are in him. They love trying to make him smile and giving him attention.

Crosby adores dogs. Any time we are at the park and he sees a dog that is all he wants to do. He pets them, hugs them, begs for kisses. Seriously...too bad Tim and I are NOT dog people!!

A Couple Pre-Colorado Favs

 Here are a couple of random pics from the past month or so...

 Holding hands with Hadley on the way to the park. 

 Sam's Club. Mom conquers the list with Cros and Tim takes the big boys to watch a video on one of the big TVs. In and out in 20 mintues.

 More fun doing our park tour! I think we only have 2 or 3 left for us when we get back. 

 Home-made Popsicles and red hats.  

 Cros loves dogs and our neighbor has three of them. Carter just discovered a hole in the fence and tries to help him spy on the dogs. It is so fun watching him be the big brother.

Buffalo Gap Ranch

Our staff team all went out to dinner at a local ranch restaurant. The steaks were great, the scenery was beautiful and the kids were very entertained!

Here are the project kids: Carter, Alex Duey, Aubrey Duey, Liv Jones and Cooper (stealing the show front and center!)

A quick family shot...Cooper loves the camera more than Carter these days

The boys got their first REAL horse rides! Cowboy Wayne was riding his horse Foxy after dinner and asked if the boys wanted a ride. They loved it!!

And a trip to the ranch isn't complete without sitting in a tractor too! What a fun night:)
