Parent Weekend

My parents came up to Denver to visit for the weekend.  We didn't take a lot of pictures, but we had fun.  I am excited to get everyone together in November for Conner's farewell.  I love family!

My typical work conversation

Convo #1
J: You look really old.
Me:  Oh yeah...
J: Yeah, you look like 13!
Me: Wow, that's old.

Convo #2
B:  You have a broken nose.
Me: I'm pretty sure I don't.
B: I'm pretty sure you do, it's messed up.
Me: Ok, thanks.

Convo #3
B: You're a white girl.
Me: yup
B: I'm a black boy.
Me: true (then I just started to laugh)

I'm never quite sure how these conversations start.   #1 was when we were building with blocks, # 2 was when he was waiting in line to get his picture taken, and then again a week later during reading time (I have never broken my nose and according to Josh it doesn't look broken), and #3 was when he was washing his hands before snack time.

Oh how I love working with 4 year olds.

Labor Day and BYU

On Labor Day we decided to head over to A Taste of Colorado.

We were able to have some samples of food from restaurants we haven't been to before and we had a lot of fun.  We discovered a great place called Gelazzi's that serves sorbetto, we just have to figure out when in Denver it is. It was a fun day and I am glad we went. 

We also were able to attend the BYU v AFA game on Saturday.  The first quarter was fun, we were cheering.  After that we were more just yelling loudly, but it was fun to go and cheer on the Cougars, even though they didn't do well.  I'll still cheer, I just hope they get it together for the next game.  

more mt rushmore

I just wanted to post more group pictures.  Thanks Kaley!

the group in front of the cabin and in front of the mountain... so fun.

Josh inside the cave- he got inside this tiny hole that he had to slither to get in and out of- he loved it!

Mt Rushmore

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to Mt Rushmore with a lot of our friends.  We were lucky enough to stay in a beautiful cabin that fit 15 people.  It was amazing.  We took a tour of the Mt Rushmore cave, walked around the little town, and watched the lighting ceremony at night of Mt Rushmore.  It was a great trip and we are so glad we went.  I ended up liking being at Mt Rushmore much more than I actually thought I would.  It was really cool. Thanks to all our friends who spent a lot of time planning this trip while Josh an I were in AZ.  It was great and we can't wait for the next trip!!!

the lawyers (Josh, Rob, Levi, Josh)

I don't have a picture of all the boys, but I really liked this one

the girls on Rachel's birthday (hence the pink crown/halo)

(Ashley, Alexandria, Rachel, Alana, Debbie, Kaley)

I don't have a picture of the whole group, I didn't get one with my camera, but maybe I can steal one and put it up...

2 years

I can't believe it has been 2 years.  I love you Josh!

lots of pictures

Me and my family in Oregon at Drake Park- I just really wanted to post the one of my dad jumping.

Josh and I went to the Grand Canyon and Arches on our way home from Arizona.  Even though it took us longer plus a flat tire it was still worth it and a lot of fun.
