What a Wonderful Weekend!

Happy Monday to you all! The hubby and I had a great weekend and were blessed with gorgeous weather as the cherry on top. Probably the most exciting part of our weekend is that we've finally found an amazing church that we just love!! You can check out their website by clicking HERE if you are interested. Yesterday afternoon, my friend Joy and her family invited us to join them for a short hike and a picnic. Hmmm......hiking.......food........of course you can count us in!! ;-)

Not too shabby of a view for a picnic, huh!?

Joy and Dave's adorable daughter, Amanda. Her personality and sense of humor are equally as cute as she is!!!

On our way home, this HUGE guy was just hangin' out alongside the road, eating some grass. My husband knows me so well that as I scrambled to grab my camera in the backseat, he was pulling off to the side of the road. We both jumped out and just watched this guy for a while. Amazing creature, isn't he!!??

Colorado Mountain Mamas

My great friend, Joy (who also happened to be our realtor and helped us get our wonderful house here in CO!), is the owner and founder of a spectacular organization called Colorado Mountain Mamas. This is an organization where mothers of young children get together on a regular basis to hike the many gorgeous trails we have at our disposal here in the Denver area. What a great opportunity for moms and children to get out in the great outdoors and socialize!! To view the Colorado Mountain Mamas website CLICK HERE.

Joy invited me to join their hike yesterday, which happened to be with the "Hiking with Babies" group. YEA babies!!! :-) Here are some photos of these wonderful ladies and their little ones...

And one of me with the ladies. My baby is sooo NOT the cutest one!! ;-)

Thank you all for welcoming me yesterday!! I had such a great time meeting all of you and your precious babies. I will be emailing you these pictures plus many more later today!

Yesterday's Hike

We took the dogs on a hike yesterday and as almost an afterthought, I grabbed the point and shoot camera as we ran out the door. Once we got up there, I was really kicking myself for not bringing along my good camera because the views were just amazing and it was such a gorgeous day. Oh well, these pics still turned out pretty good and since this hike was only about 2 miles from our house, I'm guessing we'll be back. :-)

Bailey tested out her new backpack for the first time and she carried the water for her and her sister. She didn't seem to mind it at all, so I think Ms. Kelsee will be getting one next!

Cool shot of the girls from the top of the mountain, huh!?

Ya, I thought so too until I realized what these three were standing on......

....and what it looked like from the edge!!! (Will was guessing that it's approximately a 1000-1500 feet drop from where we were standing down to that road below.)

Me and the girls at the top. :-)

Happy Birthday, Sean!!

Today is our nephew Sean's birthday and he is 3 years old!!! Happy birthday, little buddy!! Your Uncle Will and Aunt Stacey love you very much! It's hard to believe you're already 3 years old....you are growing up into such a big boy!! We can't wait to hear how super duper fast you can run in your new Lightning McQueen tennis shoes!! ;-) Hugs and kisses to you!!!!

(These pictures were taken about 8 months ago, so you can imagine how much more he's grown even since then!)
