Fort Collins visit - September 2008

We went up to Ft. Collins to visit our friends Dave, Jamie and their two boys - Jack and Isaac. After lunch in old town we stopped off at this park that has jumping water. Peyton didn't stop saying 'water' the rest of the day.

Watering the flowers - September 2008



Peyton pitched in by watering some flowers in the backyard...

August 2008

Getting ready to dig in!!
I think I'll just try squishing the frosting between my fingers...
We had fun at Maya and AJ's 1st birthday party!!

Here's the birthday girl, Maya. Somehow we missed a picture of AJ...

Ava and I are showing off our sunglass styles. Ava is about 5 months older than me, she'll be turning 2 soon!!

I am rockin' these sunglasses!

I Love Daddy! August 2008


5th Wedding Anniversary - Glenwood Springs, August 2nd, 2008

For our 5th anniversary, Greg and I stayed at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs. It has some great history and is a beautiful hotel. Unfortunately, we found out that it's not the best place to stay in the summer as there is NO air conditioning (this is not information that you can find until you get there). We just happened to be there on the hottest weekend of the year...lovely
We hiked up to Hanging Lake, which is just amazing. It's just about the perfect hike!



You just have to love Colorado!

Grandma and Grandpa's cabin - July 2008

Peyton and mommy enjoying the cabin...
The boys - Ryan (Greg's younger brother), Tyler (nephew), Carl (Tyler's dad, Greg's older brother), and Lee (grandpa) - enjoying their beer and frizbee golf.

Peyton with her cousins Corey and Riley (Uncle Ryan and Aunt Christi's boys) having fun on the swing that Grandpa built.

David's Wedding - July 19, 2008

Do I make a pretty flower girl, or what?! Surprisingly, Miss Peyton made it down the aisle behind her 3 cousins - that was a pretty big deal for a 16 month old!!

Anna and I with baby brother. I am really not sure why I didn't get ANY of the height gene in my family!! So unfair...

The parties before David's big day - July 17-18, 2008


Eating pizza at the family party on Thursday. We had family from Indiana, North Carolina, Texas, Chicago, and New Mexico
At the rehearsal dinner Peyton discovered just how yummy ketchup is!!



Relaxing before the big debut as a flower girl...

Denver Zoo - July 2008

Two days and two train rides!! This one was a little shorter though...

Say Ahhh....


Just hangin'

Georgetown Railroad - July 2008

Snack time!! Abby, Katie, Avery, and Peyton climbing on the rocks waiting to get on the railroad.
There's Aunt Anna with Katie and Abby!

Having fun with my North Carolina cousins!!

Peyton had a great time playing with her cousins for a week before Uncle David's wedding! From the left - Katie, Peyton, Avery, and Abby (and yes, my sister actually has one of each in the hair color department - one brunette, one redhead, and one blonde!)

Peyton had a fabulous time running around the poop in the intertube. Without it, she started going too fast and just fell in the water...
