Instagrams - Mid-July through early October

Holy crap. My fingers might actually fall off after the amount of clicking it took to get all these photos individually in here. Lesson learned, I need to update this MONTHLY, not quarterly.  I couldn't take the time to sort them all so I just uploaded them in order by date, oldest to newest. This is only the ones I Instagrammed...there are about a billion more on my phone. 

The biggest news in the last month is that Carl got a job with Tesla Motors!!! He applied there for the first time over 3 years ago. They've only ever had 3 techs for this 7-state region and decided to add a fourth. Carl just happened to know the right people at the right time and the rest is history. It seems pretty perfect so far. They aren't flat rate which means he is paid hourly for the first time in car world and the benefits blow anything we've ever had out of the water. 

The boys warship the ground their daddy walks on. So it is no surprise that Tesla is the new obsession around here. Some of the Model S's come with this fold down third row for kids in the trunk. They think it is so insanely fun.

We were up in the mountains last weekend for one of my photo shoots and found the Tesla Superchargers in Silverthorne. These are pretty awesome!
Carson and his friends have started telling secrets when I'm around. :(
I need more pillows.
Team tee ball party after summer season was over. The Green Dragons....get it?
Sophie, planning to eat me while also keeping me from working. Why wouldn't she stand RIGHT THERE?
I found this one of me and Carl on the iPad from one of the boys.
Our neighborhood got hit really hard with the first round of rain this summer. That water should've stayed at the far end in the drainage area and came all the way up past where we were, through the playground and to the street.
Back to school night for Kindergarten. (I have more from this night I need to find)
Our first trip to Red Rocks for a show. My mom got me tickets to Brian Regan for my bday.
We've been going to the BMX track a lot. Carson has a new BMX bike since this photo was taken. (And as a side note, I type BMW every time I try to type BMX.)
Shooting my dorky self.
Weekend drive to the mountains.
Someone found a lip crayon in my bag and somehow figured out it was lipstick instead of a real crayon.
Max is my little shopping buddy.
Carson took a while to ease into not getting naps at school anymore and would fall asleep everyday in random spots when we got home. 
Carson's first love letter from a girl at school.
I die.
After three hours at the BMX track. Sweaty helmet hair.
At Jumpoline on a day off school.
Fall tee ball. They're the Blue Blades this time.
A Sunday hike at Castlewood Canyon State Park. I LOOOVED this place!
The boys sent this to Carl on his first day of work at Tesla.
I so wish this was taken with my real camera. :(
I seriously can't try to do anything physical with Max around. He is so rough and a total wrestler!
See, shopping buddy, sleeping on the job.
Waiting to go into Carson's first parent teacher conference.
At our favorite mountain park in Georgetown.
Carl teases me all the time about my love for stripes. He saw how I had dressed myself and the boys and found himself a striped shirt to join in. He insisted we document this.....
At the Children's Museum while "Bubba" is at school. 
I get on a work call and have to just hope whatever is going on around the corner isn't too tough to clean up. The lid off the eggs freaked me OUT.
Max hiding in the back of the closet, pooping. He peed on the potty a couple times about a week ago, but still isn't really acting like he is ready. I learned to let them do it when they are ready the hard way with Carson so I'm not forcing anything.
Carl and the boys took off bright and early for the monthly cars and coffee car show this weekend. Carl insisted I stay home and have some time to myself so it was a boys day.
I miss the days when the boys were little and I'd get stuck with them asleep on me. There's nothing better than this.
We spent Sunday at Cherry Creek Reservoir hiking around. It was a PERFECT day.
My bathing babes.
