This week was another busy one. In the summer time we just have so much more going on. I'm not complaining though, it sure makes up for all of the boredom we endure during the winter.
My sister and I decided to buy annual zoo memberships this year. We have already been twice and we are really enjoying it. Ashlyn just loves the zoo. It's a little bit of a drive, but so worth it. We pack picnic lunches and have found the perfect picnic spot. The best part of having a membership is that we don't have to stay very long to get our money's worth. We go first thing in the morning and leave before it gets too crowded or too hot.

On Friday night, Joey and Ashlyn went to a Rockies game with Joey's friend and his daughter. Joey said they all had a blast. He said Ashlyn's favorite part was the seventh inning stretch when they all got to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". He said she was singing along too. He asked her what she wanted to eat, and her one request was a pretzel. Sounds like they had a great time.
Saturday we went to a wedding for a friend of Joey's. The wedding was in the mountains and it was just beautiful. It was right next to a river and we enjoyed all of the wonderful scenery. It made me very excited to get up to the family cabin in two weeks.
The other highlight of this weekend was Ashlyn getting her first Jeep Wrangler. My Mom and me went to a bunch of neighborhood garage sales this weekend and scored some killer deals. One of the things we found was a Power Wheels Jeep for a fraction of the price. On Sunday, we brought Ashlyn over to my parents to try it out. They have a very big driveway that is perfect for driving around. She fell in love instantly and we had to practically drag her away from it. I think we had just as much fun as she did watching her. I am imagining she will be getting lots of good use out of that toy.
We have another busy week with a very busy weekend ahead of us. Ashlyn's and Dawson's Uncle Adam and Aunt Jane are coming for a visit. Dawson is excited to meet them for the first time. I am running an a 5k this weekend. It is my first race since I had Dawson and I have been training very hard for it. I hope it goes well considering I took almost a year off from running. This week is also birthday week with my brother's, sister's, and grandma's birthdays all this week. Throw in Father's Day and a graduation party and we have got a lot going on. I am sure I will have lots of great pictures to post.

Ashlyn and Dawson cuddled in bed together.
Ashlyn and Auntie waiting to feed the giraffes. The giraffes at the zoo have gone "green". They are trying to have them eat healthier, so they only feed them lettuce in the morning. I don't think they like it nearly as well as the crackers. 
All of the giraffes coming out. 
Ashlyn holding out her lettuce waiting for a giraffe. 
This giraffe headed right over to her. 
Ashlyn posing for the camera.
Such a little model.

As I have mentioned before, the hippos are Ashlyn's favorite and they are the one animal she always wants to see. Every time we see them they are just sleeping in the sun. We were so excited to actually see them doing something else. We got to watch them eat, which I have to admit was quite disgusting to watch. They are very messy eaters!

My sweet, sweet girl
Dawson got to ride in his stroller like a big boy for the first time. He loved it!

I think I must kiss him a hundred times a day.

Seriously, could he be any cuter???

Taking the Jeep for a ride
I love this one because it captures the joy she was experiencing. 
Backing it up. She mastered that very quickly. 
She had some very important calls to make. 
She insisted on wearing Dad's hat just like he does.
