I can’t decide which was more busy, August or September! We had stuff planned for every moment of every weekend it seemed. We started the month with Rich & Melissa’s baby, Harper’s 2nd birthday! It was nice to see some of my Denver coworker’s outside of work for once. 
The next weekend, I had arranged for Ryan and I to sneak off to Breckenridge for the weekend once again and made sure that I planned our weekend to coincide with Oktoberfest! Can you believe it, Ryan even got me to drink beer (and I liked it!)?
Another weekend and it was our good friend Tommy’s girlfriend, Heather’s birthday. We joined a group of the old McLane crew in Westminster for that party.
One of Caleb’s dad’s closest friends also had a little boy about a month after I had Caleb, and while the couple is not together any longer, she and I keep in touch as much as we can. We hadn’t gotten the boys together since Caleb’s last birthday, so it was long overdue and I met up with her in downtown Denver one day so the boys could play. I was amazed, little Alex can already ride a bike with no training wheels!
Just before my little sis, Rachael’s birthday, Jordan and I got our braces from the orthodontist. Yep, I am a 29-year-old brace face. And it’s no fun, but I’ll live. The doc promised me that we’d only have them for 6 months, so I figured what-the-heck. 
Unfortunately, that same week, we planned to spend time at the cabin with Jason and Rachael Williams, so they had to endure my whining and non-friendly self while I adjusted to this crazy contraption in my mouth. Nolan and Danielle joined us for a night as well. But, it was still nice to see them all and the kiddos, at least from our perspective!!
Another thing I had wanted to take Caleb to see but hadn’t gotten around to it until this year was "A Day Out With Thomas." I had heard about it years past but had missed the opportunity to get tickets, etc. so I finally bought them early this year. The unexpected treat was that I got take my niece, Winter along with us! It was so great to see the cousins together, since they are only 17 days apart in age. They LOVED riding the train and seeing all of the sites at the Railway Museum in Golden.
We finished out the month with Danielle’s 23rd birthday during the Broncos vs. Kansas City game at their house. I don’t want to talk about that game, thank you, but we had a good time none the less.
Ready for pictures? There’s a BUNCH!!
