August 2010...here we go

Random selected pics from the hundreds. Finally downloaded, thanks Steven!

Mom and dad visit:

Estes Park/ YMCA Cabin/ Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park

Red Rocks, Morrison, CO

Amazing concert arena built into the rock, very cool

Denver Children's Museum

Visit this place if you are in Denver {and of course have kids}. 2 stories of fun!

Family Time

Silly Time- "stick your bellies out"

mom and the girls were crying they were laughing so hard

Last but not least, this is where Steven bikes and runs, just outside our small neighborhood {which consists of 100k people! Geez, still getting adjusted to the crowds}

What an August

Literally have not stopped the past several weeks.

Mom and dad came to visit for a wonderful 8 days!

Then last week we went to visit Mimi and Papa and the rest of the crew in Ruston, LA.

We also met mom and dad and the Dawsons at a half way point at the Alexandria Zoo

Just got back and still unpacking

Whew!

When I looked to see if Steven or I have downloaded any pics from August there were none...

still in our camera.

Will show them once we sit down and actually get those pics organized.

This is all I have of some good times at the Alex Zoo (thanks to dad):

This is what Anna Kate did to the walls and front door last night:

I used a whole Magic Eraser and it still on there. Ahhhh! 

Again, once the millions of pictures are downloaded I will update this blog.

While the Greens were here

While Steven's parents were visiting us they recommended that we go ALONE on an over night trip. 

It took us about 2 seconds to agree to that. We ended up going to Estes Park (shocker!)

Thank you to Judy and Mickey for that 24 hours of peace and quiet with no strollers, snacks, milk, crying and the dvd played stayed off in the car :-)

The only picture of us together and there is a guy "growing" from Steven's shoulder....thanks Mr Stranger.

On top of a mountain. This road is called Trail Ridge Road and it is one of the highest in North America.

This is where we have been staying the last couple of times visiting Estes Park (Rock Mount Cottages). 

Highly Recommend them!

Uncle Charles and Aunt Sharon's Bicycle built for 2! Judy you look a little concerned with Steven driving.

Monlezuns visiting Monlezuns...well look who is in the background! I couldn't stop laughing at this one. Mickey you always gotta be funny :-) Look closely.

Down on the farm

"Girls what do you think of the farm?"

IT STINKS!!!

Honestly, this is an amazing place to take the girls. You can...

Feed the animals with their provided corn

Play in a hay playground

Picnic under the trees

Ride horses

and be a farmer for the day!

We had a great time. 

If you live in the area here is the website {go early due to the crowds}:

Location, location, location

This is "The Chapel on the Rock" {circa 1916} on the way to Estes Park, CO.

Everytime we pass it we are amazed at her beauty.

I just had to share this place with yall. The pictures of course do not do this place any justice!

Remember this place mom and dad?

Anna Kate just could not go anymore.

I thought she was following me up the stairs to go to her room and take a nap...

she did not even make to the second step.

Sha little baby girl

{AK slept a full 3 hours...in her bed of course}

The empire called: Facebook

I finally signed up on Facebook after telling myself I will never do so...

and now I can't stop! This is why I didn't but I was tired of wondering where is fill in the blanks? How is fill in the blanks?

HELP!

Oh well, the evil empire got a hold of my laptop. FB is now my friend, I 've crossed over.
