Colorado Visitors

My sister came to Colorado for the very first time this summer! Jennifer and Ken flew down to visit us, on their way to their son's military graduation service. I am so glad that they came, even if it was only for a few days. We had a wonderful time together and were able to do a lot while they were here. We rode the Cog Railroad to the top of Pike's Peak, visited Garden of the Gods, got hair cuts from Jennifer, and we went to the mountains for a few nights. We stayed at a beautiful new condo at the base of Copper Mountain. We rode the lift and ate our lunch at the top. We also rode our bikes on Vail Pass, and celebrated Keira's 7th birthday with a pizza party.

A Wonderful Blessing!

The Lord is blessing our family with another baby! We are all so excited and can't wait to meet him/her at the end of February.

New Hobby

At the end of summer 2010, Drew and I took up a new hobby. Some friends convinced us to try golf. Drew was instantly hooked, and I now enjoy it too. Even if I am not a great player, I still enjoy getting outside and spending some time with my hubby in beautiful places.
This year, for our 16th anniversary, we went to the mountains with another couple to go golfing. We went to Fox Hollow in Denver, then headed up to Eagle. We played at Aspen Golf Club, Roaring Fork, Eagle Vail, and Rifle Falls. We were able to leave our girls with some friends from church, and although we missed our girls, it was great to have a weekend away together as a couple.

Teva Mountain Games

We headed up to Vail the first weekend in June for our annual trip to the TEVA Mountain Games. We all had a wonderful long weekend to enjoy the mountains and the games. We did all of our usual activities of biking, playing in the fountain, watching the games, and just spending time with each other. I hope that the girls will remember this family tradition fondly as I do.

Silly Faces

Just for fun!

Natalie's 2nd Birthday

Natalie enjoyed her birthday party this year. She was so excited to eat cupcakes, play with her friend, Baily, and open presents. She squealed when opening every package. What a joy it has been to have her in our family, we are so thankful for her energetic personality.

Girly Girls

Oh, how I love my girly girls. They love all things girl! Nail polish, fancy dresses, tea, hair bows, baby dolls, and pink! What a blessing to have three precious girls.
