Sweet Summer Time!

Life has been pretty busy this summer! I have no idea how it happens but every summer we seem to be jam packed! All we want to do is go camping or plan a trip but somehow it's hard to fit it in! This summer has truly been no exception, even without a ton of weddings we have found ourselves busy every weekend. Here's just a quick look at what the Alexander Summer has had in store for us! Hope you're having a great summer!

Attended a friend's gorgeous Wedding In Berthoud, CO 

Congrats Rachel & Phil! 

Had some ridiculous photo shoots with friends...

Thankfully we came away with a few good pictures!

And tried REALLY hard to get a good group shot of all

Adam's High School Friends... 

This is as close as we got...

The day after the wedding we headed to Boulder to watch Cody jump out of an airplane!

Unfortunately due to a flat tire on the plane he couldn't go... 

So we had a nice lunch and ran around Boulder instead! Much safer. :) 

My brother Cody & Dad at The Lazy Dog's rooftop patio!

In celebration of the 4th of July we went to a Rockies Fireworks Game!

The Fireworks were SOOO good!

The next morning we headed to Brush to see Adam's family and take in all the Brush 4th of July activities!

This is me and Giz in the car on our way! He's excited!

Our first day in Brush was mostly spent playing in the sprinklers with Lilly (I haven't talked about Lilly on here yet, she is our only niece, she's two and she is so stinkin cute!

So we take a LOT of pictures of her! Just fair warning!)

Drying off after the sprinklers... 

 Goofy Uncle Adam rockin Lilly's shades!

See so stinkin cute right!?

Playing with Uncle Adam in the backyard! SO hot out! 

We ended our weekend in Brush with a pancake breakfast by the library and the Brush 4th of July Parade! (I didnt take a picture of the pancakes... Sorry I know you're disappointed, maybe next year) 

My favorite float this year!

 And like any other small town parade you just never know what you're going to see...

Firemen in diapers??? I dunno.

The family watching the parade! 

Adam and I at the parade... We were SOOO Hot!

And finally our most recent weekend adventure: Old School Track & Field Day!!

(A friend puts this fun event together every year! Such a blast! Dress up, drink and play games like field day in elementary school... well kind of, if you add beer pong and flip cup!)

Adam and I with our best friends Christine & Zach

The Ladies! Carolyn is the one with the pink tiger print shorts, 

she throws this crazy event every year!

And of course what Field Day would be complete with out Hula Hoops?

A Blog Post on Keeping Up with Blogging and Unicorn Diaries...

Ok so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I tend to overload myself with far too many things to keep up with on a daily basis... So that seems to be what is happening here, too many internet websites to keep up with. I started with Facebook, loved it. So then I got a Shutterfly account for my pictures and decided I needed a Shutterfly "Share Site" to share all my pictures with friends and family, loved it. And then lastly I decided to start this blog to share my HUGE wealth of knowledge with the world, and yes I love it! But it's a little hard to keep up with all of them. So as I've been focusing on the blog my Shutterfly site has been suffering, and of course while getting that back up to speed my blog has suffered... such a debacle, I guess I'll just have to do the best I can. I don't want to drop any of these sites because they all serve very different purposes, so I'll have to settle for semi regular blog posts.

I promise I wont let this turn into another one of the I dunno 50 diaries I started as a kid. I always had the best of intentions, start a diary to log all my deepest darkest secrets, a place to store all my dreams, desires, hopes for the future and a place to look back at everything that was happening to me at that point in my life. I would dive into this project writing every single day... for like 2 weeks... and then I would start to stress: what happens if someone finds this, I shouldn't write that in here, oh that's too hard to explain, I don't have enough time, etc. So slowly the diary would be left alone with no entries. Months would go by before I thought about it, and then I would decide it's time to start a diary again, maybe a pretty new shiny diary with a unicorn or something cheesy on the front will inspire me to take up writing again. Nope, a few weeks later the shiny new unicorn diary was right next to the old My Little Ponies diary that I gave up months before. So this is my promise to myself not to let that happen here. This blog isn't really a diary and no I wont be writing about my deepest darkest secrets. But it is a place for me to express my thoughts and feelings. A place for me to look back on years from now and remember what is was like to be 27, married, with no kids and only our animals depending on us. I like to think that looking back on this blog will remind me of many different facets of my past life. So even if I don't post everyday I promise to keep up with this blog, even if I'm the only one reading it. So move out of the way unicorn diary this time I really wont let this slip between the cracks!
