Ashlyn had a great first week at school. She came home everyday in such a great mood. She has made lots of friends and already adores her teacher. One of her friends that she went to her old school with goes there too. She was very excited to see her in her class. I am really liking the Montessori method so far. It really teaches kids to be responsible for themselves. They must finish an activity and put it away before starting something new. Joey and I were noticing after the first day Ashlyn was picking up after herself without being asked. I can't wait to see what else she learns this year.
We spent another weekend at the cabin As usual we had an absolute blast! Katy agreed to watch Dawson for a little bit on Saturday, and we took a ride on the Prowler up Tincup Pass. I had never been before and it was just beautiful. Ashlyn really liked it too. We are planning on going up there Labor Day weekend for what will probably be our last time for the summer. We will sure miss it this winter!
I am in the process of training for my first half marathon with my sister. I am so unbelievably excited about it. The race is October 8th. Last week, I faced my first running injury. As I log more miles, I become more susceptible to injury. Being injured is the worst. I have a training regimen that I have to keep up with and I can't while I'm in pain. I did feel good enough to run while up at the cabin. There is nothing like running 3 miles at 10,000 feet. It's challenging but very exhilarating! I pray that I continue to heal quickly so I can still do my half marathon that I'm so looking forward to.
Ashly has really been practicing riding her bike. Joey takes her outside every night so they can do "lessons". She has so much fun. She's only ridden her bike a handful of times, but she is already getting so good at it. I bought her a very cheap bike at a garage sale to see how she liked it. After seeing how much she enjoys her bike, Joey and I decided we are going to let her pick out her own bike very soon.
Dawson has a new favorite pastime- his jumperoo. He just loves that thing! He will jump in it for 45 minutes straight. Ashlyn never cared for it, so we are getting quite a kick out of watching Dawson just go crazy in it. His other favorite thing to do is pull himself up on furniture. He is just growing up so fast!
Here we are at the Continental Divide.
This is what it looks like at timber line. It is just gorgeous up there.
Ashlyn had fun exploring a bit.
We start them very young in Broncos Country.
Getting a bike lesson
She looks so big.
Riding all by herself 
Here was Dawson jumping before bed. It was hard to get a picture to show how much he likes it.
How did my sweet boy get so big so fast???
He looks very shocked in this picture.
Smiling away
