Denver Visit (picture heavy)

We had a nice holiday weekend visiting Aunt Kiki in Denver. The weather was perfect all weekend and we were able to do quite a bit while we were there!

Adi did great on the plane! She is becoming an expert traveler.

We enjoyed dessert at Pinkberry one night! YUM.

We took a free bus the first day we were there. Every time Adi saw a bus she said, "Adi on the bus!" I think she enjoyed her ride.

Aunt Kiki took her swimming in her pool!

We went and did some outdoor shopping one day with Ryan.

A great part of the trip was that we were lucky enough to see my Aunt Kris and cousins Susan and Shane and their incredibly sweet kids!!! Adi was in love with Abby. I've never seen a little girl so sweet and sensitive with a young one as she was!!!

We spent a morning in Boulder. It was beautiful and busy. It was the day before their big run there, so there was tons of activity. It was the perfect day for enjoying the beautiful landscape and amazing weather.

I just love this picture and she was getting such a kick out of going up and down Aunt Kiki's elevator.

The night before we left we went and had sushi out on a patio to enjoy another wonderful evening. Adi, just like her daddy thoroughly enjoyed her sticky rice and miso soup. She had a couple bites of a veggie roll but wasn't overly impressed with the roll. I tell you what though that girl can throw back a serious amount of sticky rice!!

Thanks for having us Kel we had a terrific time!

Pedi for the girls!

We went to get our nails done this morning and Adi was VERY READY to get pampered as well (she was just going to get a quick paint job). I talked it up and she was acting exciting about doing it. When we got there they said she was too young, so mommy painted them while Gigi was finishing up!

Our Weekend in Pictures

Gigi's birthday lunch.

Adi's babushka (aka nae-ne)

Her new crocks (she is obsessed with taking them on and off). She loves it that she can do it herself.

Swimming with grandpa in the 2/3 drained pool.

Giving daddy a "CHEESE"

Happy Anniversary (in JP)!

Brandon!

Happy Anniversary!!! I wish we were together today, but we'll be sure to celebrate when you get back. You are just an amazing husband and I COULDN'T be more happy to call you mine!

If I was even remotely technically inclined I would have a nice little youtube video that plays here, but I'm not. :) So head to the link and check out this song. It perfectly describes how I feel about us. I love you so much!

Lyrics to Where I Land :

You’re different from the way I thought you’d be
But here you are in front of me
So full of light I watch it overflow
A lovely mystery

And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve

You have a way of stirring up my soul
Did you know
When you hold me in your arms the way you do
It feels like coming home

And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve
And when I cannot stand
You are where I land

And when the years have stolen youth away
I will stay
You will be the keeper of my heart
Until my final day

You’re different from the way I thought you’d be
But here you are in front of me
So full of light I watch it overflow
A lovely mystery

And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve

You have a way of stirring up my soul
Did you know
When you hold me in your arms the way you do
It feels like coming home

And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve
And when I cannot stand
You are where I land

And when the years have stolen youth away
I will stay
You will be the keeper of my heart
Until my final day

Farm Fresh!

We had a Farm Fresh morning with Grandma and Grandpa. We headed out to the peach festival at Schnepf's Farm. We picked fresh peaches and apricots (Grandpa and Adi had to sample a few while we were picking). Adi even got to ride a pony! I really kind of thought she would freak out when I put her on, but she was all about it! We headed over to Joe's Farm Grill for lunch; and had a delicious burger and fries. We miss you and love you very much daddy! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Playing at the Park

We figured since it was going to be 90 today we should hit up the park with the Rich's this morning! The kids had a blast and the bugs were in full force. I'm it is going to be awful this year with the mass amounts of rain we have had! Enjoy!

WONDERFUL Mother's Day

It was a wonderful mother's day weekend. It was great spending the weekend with family and friends. Here are some pictures of Lindsey, Olivia, Adi, and I at our church's mother's day brunch.




Here's one of me and my sweet little girl! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being her mommy.


The best mother's day gift of all was that I was able to get baptized this weekend. Baptism is about publicly identifying with Christ. It is an act of obedience. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision to align oneself with Christ and what He lived and died for. That inward decision to align myself with Christ was a decision I made as an adult, therefore, my infant baptism wasn't obedient to what God calls us to do. I couldn't be happier today and feel truly alive with Christ's Spirit!


I hope you all had a great mother's day as well!

Neighborhood Outing

It is nice that our little neighborhood has so many young moms! Since we didn't have any rain today we all decided to seize the day and go to the zoo. It was a little chilly, but we had a great time with a picnic lunch and all.
