June

June was our first month in AZ! We pulled into our new home on June 1st! Its been so wonderful. Its seriously a dream come true. We still keep pinching our selves that all of this is really happening. We love it. 

Kyle's first stop as he was driving the moving van was Dr. Pepper with Vanilla from QT. 


Waking up for the first time in our new house! 


Making slides out of the empty wardrobe boxes. It was a good time! 


Could they be any cuter? I took this picture the night before we left on our cruise. I looked at this picture a lot while we were gone. I love these two so much! 


My handsome Dentist at work. His license came while we were on our Cruise. So two days after we got back he jumped in and hasn't looked back. He has been rocking it! He loves it and he is so good at it. I have been so proud of him. Although he is working a lot and we really miss him!


Lots of swimming and playing has been wearing Jules out. 


How cute is this? Even with Juliet's missing bangs! 


Juliet had my phone in the car on the drive to Arizona. I have a bunch of pictures just like these. I wanted to document them so I can remember how cute her little picture always were. She loves to take pictures! 



We have loved playing in our backyard. There is so much wonderful potential back there. Its going to be so fun to transform it into what we really want it to be. 





Abby is always wanting to make us laugh! She is so funny and so cute! I put Abby in a 4 week summer kindergarten prep class. She blossomed so much in those four weeks. I was so nervous to see how she would react to it, but I shouldn't have worried. She loved it! She can be so shy. She even told me one day after school "I don't really like talking to people". But she loves to learn. Seriously loves it. So she did really well. It got me really excited for her to start kindergarten. I'm scared out of my mind about it too. I am going to miss her so much. I'm so not ready to start this new phase. Can't my kids just stay little and at home forever?!?!



Waking Jane up from a nap so we could pick up Abby from her summer school class. She is the cutest. When we got back from our cruise she wouldn't even let me hold her. She was so mad at me. She wanted anyone but me. She was even ok with Kyle holding her. But not me. That night she woke up screaming at 1:00am. I went and got her and snuggled her for about a half hour. She kept sitting up and smiling at me and talking to me. And then snuggling me. It was wonderful! I put her back down and she went right back to sleep. Then next morning she was back to being my girl. It was nice to be forgiven for leaving. 



He let me take a first day of work picture. He looked so professional and amazing. I couldn't be more proud of him. 


Dancing, in dress ups while watchign 






The girls are loving our new house. Its so big and empty so they have tons of room to run and play. 



Jane loves the cupboards. She loves to empty them and crawl in them. The kitchen is so big! The majority of the cupboards are totally empty. Its crazy. 


I love these pictures where I can capture them playing. I always want to remember it. 


Choosing paint colors for our room. The paint in our house is the most horrible tan color. It looks more pink than anything else. We chose the lighter shade in this picture and it looks AMAZING!! I love it! 


I got some free labor to help me paint Abby and Juliet's room. I love the color and it looks so good now that I have the room all put together. 


This girl loves to read! 


Lots of trips to Home Depot! 


Seriously this girl is the coolest! 


I painted our room with a fixer upper marathon in the background. It was awesome! 


Always hanging on my clothes and always asking me for snacks. They are lucky they are so cute and lucky that I love them so much.


Welcome to our backyard resort! I love summer time! 



There is so much space to play in this house! They love it!


Lacee and her friends stopped by one afternoon and played for a little bit. Juliet had fun bossing them around. 


Juliet took this picture of us. She said "say seaweed" from octonauts. I love her! 


Our first month in Arizona down. And it was pretty awesome. I'm a big fan! 

May 2016

Here are is the monthly photo dump from May. In between the packing, moving and general celebrating we did a lot of other fun stuff. May was one of those months that I wanted to soak up every moment and I wanted it to be over as soon as possible. Its so funny to feel both of those emotions so strongly. Jane was feeling so much better in May and it was so wonderful to have our sweet baby back. 

Sad Jules. Her sad face can break your heart! 


We had so much fun playing outside and watching all the green sneak back into the world. Spring really is magical. 


Mothers Day 2016. I am so blessed! Kyle and I both spoke in church on Mother's Day. It was a fun experience. Kyle rocked it. He is the sweetest man. We are the luckiest girls in the world. 



Kyle and I were both able to get to the temple in the last few weeks. It was wonderful to get in the Denver Temple one last time. All temples are so beautiful. 


We made it to one last Rockies game. It was pretty fun. It was a beautiful day. Abby and Jules were more obsessed with eating as many snacks as possible than they were in actually paying attention to the game. But we still had a good time. The girls are all at really fun ages. Family outings are getting more and more fun. 


We had to go one last time to our favorite park in Reunion. We seriously love this park. 


We went mini golfing. I actually best Kyle! Go me! 


I love reading to my girls. 


We got so spoiled around graduation. Sean came up from Pueblo and took us GoKart racing. It was so fun! I didn't want to be that girl that really stunk it up when we were racing. And I was pretty good at holding my own. Kyle was of course incredible! We had a blast. 




Kyle went to TopGolf with his dental school friends. He is really going to miss those guys. He didn't get a picture of them all together but he took a picture of the food the got. That sounds about right. Ha Ha! 



Kyle and I ran a 5k at the school. Just the two of us. It was so much fun! We ran our little hearts out. It was my fastest 5k ever! It felt amazing. I love running. 



We took lots of long walks enjoying that view behind our house. 



We went to Vail with Tim and Kelly. That was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the pool and walking through the mountains and Vail Village. I love Vail. I'm going to miss them like crazy. 


My sweet baby starting to smile again at the beginning of May. 


Juliet is the best to just lay down and take a nap when she needs it. 


Abby is the best big sister. She was made to be the oldest and she plays the role very well. We love you Abby!


Team Brown eyes got up early one morning and snuggled with me. I love them. 


I think these two are going to become good buddies while Abby is in school. Jane just adores both her big sisters. 


Well... sometimes. ;)


We had an outdoor picnic one day. 


Juliet bit the heads off of a bunch of dolls one day. Really creepy. And then I taped Anna's head to Elsa's hand. I thought I was pretty funny. Ha ha! 


Piggy tails! She is seriously the cutest. 



The twins got baptized Mothers Day weekend so my grandparents and Aunt Janeen came out to Colorado. We had mothers day dinner at Jolene's house. It was so fun! Rhubarb pie for the win!! We sent this picture to my mom. Just to rub it in a little bit. 


More pictures from the Rockies game. 




I love Jane's face in this picture. The cotton candy was a big hit. 



More pictures from our fun night at the park in Reunion. 




Our family after mini golfing. 


Eating dinner! I can't get over these sweet girls. Life is good with them. 


This little baby loves being outside. I loved seeing her little hand prints on the concrete. 



Eating popcorn and watching a movie together. 


The starting line at the 5k.



My average pace, and mile splits! Its a little off because I didn't stop it right after I crossed. I forgot for a minute or so. 


Snuggling in bed one morning in Vail. Its a lot easier to fit all of us in King bed then it is in our small queen bed. 


The view from our room! 


I was able to have a really fun shower for Kaity at Maggianos. It was fun to get everyone together and celebrate Kaity and her baby girl! 


And one last sweet picture of my darling baby. She is the sweetest! 



May was a great month. Our last in Colorado and it did not disappoint!
