Summer has been really good to us. We have spent most of our time outside doing lots of little projects starting with getting our garden going. And to our surprise it is doing really well our tomato plants are pretty much taking over the garden. Our next project was building a shed and I say our because of course I am there for moral support and I did help hold things up so Dan could nail the pieces together. Our other little projects have been to clean the weeds out of the rock, and just the everyday things you do to keep the yard looking groomed. Dan does a really good job with all the outdoor things at our home, and keeps thinking of new ways to improve our home inside and out. As for summer fun we have been busy hanging out at the spray park, playing at playgrounds including the one in our back yard, and hanging out in our swimming pool to stay cool as the weather her keeps getting hotter and hotter.
Our newest addition to the Dunn collection of toys is a toy hauler!! This weekend we went down to Utah a purchased a toy hauler so our little family can enjoy some fun in the outdoors but yet still feel the comforts of home. Since we went down to Utah we decided to take some time to hang with family . Jace loves his cousins Colter and Parker and just last week while out on a run he kept asking to see his Parker. He also loves his granny and gramps and just the other day at wendys he saw a lady and yelled thats my granny. So needless to say Jace was so happy to spend the weekend with all his favorite peoples!! We had fun shopping in Utah and then we enjoyed staying in Rock Sprigs camping in our new toy hauler and hanging with family. While we were there Jace saw Parkers "motorcycle" which is a little 50 and he jumped on it and began making he best motorcycle noise. He really wanted to ride the bike really bad so Dan took Jace on a little ride. He told me when it was all done that he wanted to buy the motorcycle!!! He is to cute. Life is good for us we are blessed beyond measure. We are happy to still be within a days drive to our family and really enjoy our time with them. We love summer and plan to spend the rest of these beautiful days (when not working that is) camping and just hanging out and enjoying the sunshine!!

Family Picture Time

Here are some new family photos!! We are so lucky to have a friend who has a secret talent for taking pictures. Unfortunately for us every time we think we should do pics Jace gets sick or decides he is going to wake up so early that by 9 in the morning he is sir crouch. We made it through thought thanks to having the help of the photographers husband and of course Jaces best friend. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we are. Coming soon will be some pics of Jace without his cheesy parents=) Thank you so much Kasey for spending a Holiday morning with us you rock.

May and June update

It is so crazy how fast time goes!! I got to thinking the other day how much has happened in the last two months. So sorry this might bore some of you but I thought it appropriate to give a little update on the Dunn family.
Lets start with May, on May 2nd I did my first ever half marathon which is 13.2 miles. I was super excited to do it and even got to spend the night in Fort Collins all by myself which was a blessing but yet a stress because I missed my little family. Now about the race. I had to wake up at 3:30am to be at the bus by 4 am to then stand and wait in the mountains for the race to start. Luckily I got on the right bus and they got lost so I did not have to wait to long in the 25 degree weather. I finished the race in an 1:55 my goal was 1:45 so I was only 10 min off which means Dan is still the title holder in our family. For me though that was the fastest I had run in my whole running experience the clocked me at and 8min 45 sec mile. All in all I was super tired but so glad I set a goal and finished it!! May came and went really fast for the Dunn's we spent lots of time hanging with friends and playing outside when the weather permitted.

As for June we started lots of projects. For instance working on our yard, planting a garden and Dan decided we need a shed so he has been putting that together on nights when it is not raining. I have been helping him as much as possible but this year my allergies have kicked my butt and of course Jace is more curious than ever and wants to be mom and dads big helper.

To end June we helped Dan's parents move to there official retirement spot in Nephi Utah, played in Colorado at a Motor cross event , and on Dans birthday our yard got flocked with pink flamingos!!!(shhhh I know who did it but I will never tell).

So I wanted to save the best news for last.......We found out we are expecting a new addition to our family on Dec 31st!!!! Currently I am 15 weeks and things are going good. I am tired as ever but food loves me and I love food so life is good. We will find out what we are having in August so be on the look out for those results soon.
We have been so blessed and I know I say that a lot but I find myself pondering all that I have and feel so grateful to have so much love around me.
