Family Ties...

So this summer, our little family of three has been squeezing in as much fun as possible. It amazes me just how much we have been able to do!
We spent 10 days in Colorado visiting family and I got to be a bridesmaid for one of my good friends. We had a blast! I felt like Holden grew so much from that experience. He loved playing with his two year old cousin, Ali, and 6 year old cousin Azy. We also enjoyed many outdoor activities like mountain biking, and hiking. We mountain biked in Fruita, Telluride, and in Montrose (I guess they have trails there now!) One day just our little family of three went to one of my favorite little mountain towns, Ouray, and hiked Box Canyon Falls and biked around town. On the 4th we had a barbecue at my Granny's house, where I got to see more extended family and listen to mountain stories from my Gramps. I ran into and visited many people from high school as well. All in all, it was a fabulous, memorable week!

                                      The Guys all made us dinner one night...what great husbands!
                         All of us in Telluride having a picnic. I sure do miss these mountains I call home

 I love this picture. My Granny means so much to me; she is so giving and has the biggest heart

What a great wedding day for Amy!

Ya I know that I probably posted too many photos of that trip so that you are now completely blogged out for the day and have to read the rest later...but i promise to not make the rest of what we did this summer not so long. I just don't want to leave any of it out. The problem is I took a lot of pictures on my phone camera instead of my regular one so I don't have as much proof as I would like. So in a bigger nut shell, we went a lot of other different places this summer...like, Jackson Hole with Trevor's sister and family where we attended the Bar J wrangler, and Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park with Trevor's parents where we got to see the beautiful Jenny Lake! We also went to Island Park with Trevs parents where we saw a hilarious play. We then returned to Island Park a week later to camp and float down the river in canoes with my cousins on my mom's side. We have been blessed to see so many things and have so many many people visit us this summer. One thing we wanted before trying to have another baby was a fun summer and we almost made it! While in Colorado though, we discovered that we are expecting a new little one in the beginning of March and couldn't be happier! I am about 12 weeks right now and have been pretty sick this go around. Next weekend for Labor day weekend we decided to fly to San Francisco to see the rest of my family that we missed this summer.
