Better Late Than Never?

I've really enjoyed reading the blogs of my friends and family.  Getting information about their little ones, vacations, and general goings-on has allowed me to feel more a part of their lives even when I can't be there in person.  So, in that spirit I'm starting a blog.  Our girls, Atley and Caris, seem to change and grow so much in just a week that I'm sure I could post something everyday.  That said, the girls and I also enjoy getting out of the house and running around town, so I probably won't actually post that often. 

This has been a crazy few days with lots of time in the car, under the sun, and without naps.  We started the madness by going to my niece's birthday party and my nephew's baseball game on Saturday.

On Sunday Gam, Gap (my parents), Caris, and I went to a Motocross race in Denver.  My cousin's son, Justin Bogle, is an excellent rider.  Unfortunately, since he lives in Oklahoma and rarely races in our area we only get to see him ride occasionally.  We enjoyed watching him win (all of his races) with style.

On Monday I met two of my college girlfriends and their kiddos at the zoo for a little bit of birthday fun (mine).  Since Carolyn is a professional photographer, I left my camera at home and let the her do some amazing work.   Hard not to say, "ahhh" when looking at this pic, huh?

We rounded out the last two days by hitting the pool Tuesday afternoon and going to Atley's first movie theatre-movie on Wednesday.  Needless to say, we're staying home today.  Between the whining, crying, tantrum throwing, and general bad mood, I'm pretty sure nap time is a must today.  Oh, Atley and Caris have been a little cranky too.
