unexpected visit

I had decided that I didn't want to make any plans with friends for Saturday because Josh had been out of town all week and I was ready to just spend some time with my cute little family. So Saturday morning we got a call from one of Josh's aunts saying that one of his other aunts and uncles and their kids were in town for the day from Omaha! We had no idea that they were going to be in town and were excited to get the invite. I knew I didn't make plans for a reason ;) We hadn't seen them since we lived in Omaha two years ago so it was a lot of fun! We all went to a metal park, to city park in Fort Collins and rode the trolley and out to some amazing pizza. I am so glad that we were able to see them!

So there are lots of pictures on this post. And I tried my best to narrow them down, and there are still lots. But I just couldn't resist how cute she looks in this gingham dress that daddy picked out for her! She is 7 weeks old and I still can't get enough of her cuteness. I am one lucky mama!

 And Josh likes to get her to stand and work out those legs.

 We call this one the flamingo ;)

the fourth festivities

This Fourth of July did not have much planning ahead, but we ended up having a great weekend! We started it off with friends enjoying Lamar's donuts and then going to the Fort Collins parade. Brindisi and I both found four leaf clovers which we felt was quite awesome!

These two are the cutest!

Sleeping through the parade

My parents made an impromptu drive up to see us and we went out to lunch and enjoyed a fun game of adult mini golf! It is in between putt putt golf and actual golf. There are two over sized golf clubs that you use and you hit a small tennis ball through a 9 hole course. It was a ton of fun and requires a little bit of golf skill. Since I have never played real golf it made for quite the game, although I did have a little bit of beginners luck :) It was a ton of fun and apparently it is the only course like it in the US!

I love her concentrating face!

This was an epic fail of a hit. Bounced right off that rock :)

Still sleeping through all the fun ;)

I just love this guy!

I love this guy too :)

This was my first hit of my second hole! ALMOST a hole in one! Best shot of the game :)

Saturday we played some bocce ball and lets just say my parents kicked our butts! Josh and I were really off of our game. But we had a ton of fun. Skyler slept through almost all of our fun and festivities but she did get to spend lots of time snuggling Ama and Papi, which is probably her favorite pass time. It was a great weekend!
