CRASH!!

On our drive up to Idaho a week ago, early in the morning we hit a deer just outside of Jackson,WY. Ben was able to push the hood down enough that we could make it to his parents house. We are so lucky that none of us were hurt only scared to death.

Hanging Lake, Hotels and Hot Springs

About a month ago Ben and I had the opportunity to get away for our anniversary and spend a few days in Glenwood Springs. We had such a fun time riding the gondola, going through the Fairy Caves, Ben riding the Alpine Coaster, the human maze, swimming in the hot springs and hiking up to hanging lake.

7 Wonderful Years!

Ben and I celebrated our 7yr anniversary today by seeing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in concert at Red Rocks. It was amazing.

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and I am looking forward to the many years yet to come. I Love You Ben, Happy Anniversary!

Rainy Memories

I love everything about the rain. The way it smells before and after it rains, the sound it makes when it hits the ground and just watching it fall from the clouds. It is one of my favorite summer time activities to play in the rain, so this afternoon we had a nice little rain storm come through Denver and I thought as I was sitting in the living room folding another load of laundry that it was time to teach Joseph about the joys of playing in the rain. One of my fondest memories of playing in the rain was in high school with my girlfriends and we splashed in the puddles until we were soaked and giggling like little girls.

So after a few minutes of convincing him that it was ok to get our clothes wet he agreed to come out and play with me. The rain was cool and coming down gently so you didn't get soaked instantly and there was a nice summer breeze blowing.

We splashed in the puddles, watched the leaves race each other down the gutter, laughed until our sides hurt and made some wonderful memories.

Happy Father's Day!!!

We hope all the father's we know and Love are having a wonderful day with their families. We love you all so much.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Here's a look at what we have been doing the past few weeks and keeping me away from my blogging :( Just kidding I love spending time with my family. We were lucky that Jeff and Kris were able to come over for Memorial Day weekend and that we were able to spend time with them, it was a blast.
