colorado

wow. is it just me or do the days just seem to fly by for everyone? i can't believe that it's been almost two weeks since i took my solo vacation to denver! it was such an unbelievable trip. catching up with old college buddies, hanging and laughing with my best friend since the sixth grade, and just relaxing and enjoying my family. 

 yes, it was a wonderful trip.

  I haven't seen Steve in Steph in over five years! Since that time they have gotten married and had this cute little girl who is just over one! how did we let so much time pass by before catching up? It was so worth it though!

And seriously? I love this cute kid. My best friend since the sixth grade has the most fun and adorable little boy and i got to spend the day with them, tagging along for the bbq challenge up in Frisco, Co. Not only was i in the best company, but i got to eat the yummiest food all day long. Score!

love spending time with them!

  And nothing beats a relaxing day just hanging with family. And you can count on my niece and nephew to always be there to keep you laughing and entertain you. 

Love the special trips I get to make back home. Even though I was missing my kiddos the entire time, it was so nice to catch up with old friends, play with little ones and just be with family. Nothing beats family!

hope you all are having a good week so far!!

my appologies

i am writing to say i am very sorry for the lack of posts and pictures the last few days. my husband was out of town last weekend and i spent most of it planting and weeding and hopefully making a bountiful garden in the process. however, i believe the outside heat and too much sun lead me to get a horrible migraine sunday that lasted till yesterday! pregnancy and migraines equal no bueno! but i did want to post this favorite picture of mine of Miss Sabrina at the lake a few weeks ago. i just love her cute smile!!

  hope you all are having a wonderful weeks so far! i have plenty of pictures to post soon! promise! :)

branson butterflies

while we were in Branson we decided to check out the Butterfly Palace. It was a really fun place with cool insects and frogs and oh my the butterflies! there were so many and so fun to watch! we had a blast checking them all out and got excited when one ventured to land on your shoulder or head.

  our butterfly watchers ready for action!

hope you all have a wonderful and beautiful weekend! happy friday!!

wordless(ish) wednesday

When we told people we were heading to Branson,MO. this weekend, almost everybody told us to visit Silver Dollar City. It's a large amusement park that is themed in the old mining time and has lots of rides and shops and shows. I was a little hesitant going at first because, hello! we have lots of little people with us! But everyone told us it would be worth it and boy were they right!

  and just so you know. my three year old is fearless. seriously, if this kid was tall enough to ride it, he rode it. love the drive for adventure in this guy!

  we had a blast at Silver Dollar City. And you can just bet that we will be making another trip back there soon! You can see more pictures from our trip here. 

 Happy Wednesday!
