Labor Day Weekend

Well first I need to tell you that I am not a slacker, but our computer has been in the shop for about two weeks now, and before that our internet was not working. So, believe me I have wanted to post but I have not been able to. I should also write that my brother Kyle finally got to go back on his mission after knee surgery. He actually got a call last Thursday and found out that he was flying out to Nebraska on Saturday morning. So he didn't get much warning but he was excited to go, we wish him all the best.





Anyway, we weren't gone enough this summer so for Labor Day weekend we went to Island Park. Like always we didn't do much, but it was nice to get away one more time. I need to apologize because Henley looks a bit homeless in these pictures but they are kind of funny. She looks so wild when her hair is not done. Of course it had been done all cute but she pulled it out, I can't believe how long her hair is getting which you can see in the last picture.

Here are some pictures that Mark took.

Henley's Gymnastic Class

I signed Henley up for a Mommy and Me Gymnastics Class. It's at the same gym I used to coach at, and I was actually the Mommy and Me director for awhile. It was a little weird thinking that my little girl was old enough to do a class, I swear the kids I used to teach were older than her, but they weren't. She had so much fun, and to my surprise she listened and waited her turn very well. She is one of the youngest in her class and she did a great job. We have been so lucky because Mark has been able to come and watch her do the class almost every time, that is why we have all the pictures. I think we both enjoy watching her do the class as much as she like doing it.

Here she is waiting on her mat until it was her turn. The boy sitting next to her is named Parker. They are about the same age, but her is so shy. She will always say good job Parker and try to talk to him, it is really cute.

They get to jump on the big trampoline and she loves it.

Walking on the big girl balance beams, she got a little nervous.

Playing with the parachute at the end of class.

And last but not least, waiting to get her stamp. This is her favorite part of gymnastics. She will ask about her stamp any time she hears the word gymnastics. Her coach is nice enough to give her stamps on both hands and both feet and it just makes her day. We have a lot of fun.

Family Fun Triathlon

This was the second year that Sports Academy did a family triathlon. Mark family came down so Carter and Jillian could do the triathlon. Carter did the whole thing and Jill did the run with him. It was lot of fun the got a medal and a t-shirt.

Princess Party

My friend Shea's little girl London had a Cinderella Party for her 1st Birthday, here are some of the pictures.


Coloring a Princess Picture.


Henley and London

Getting her make-up done by Cinderella

During story time, Henley decided she needed to sit on Cinderella's lap instead of the floor.

London opening Henley's present to her. Thanks guys we had fun.

Denver Trip

I planned a trip to Denver for me and Mark. Why Denver you ask. For a restaurant, that's right a restaurant. There was a restaurant in Cleveland, where Mark served his mission, that he loved called B.D.'s mongolian BBQ. He found out that the closest one was in Denver. So I thought it would be fun to go to a baseball game and try out the restaurant. The tickets were so cheap and I got a really nice room for a good price. So this last weekend, August 21-23, we went. We left Henley with Mark's mom which was kind of hard for me. It was fun to get away after a crazy summer. We kept getting lost when we tried to get around but it was still fun. The first day we didn't do much, just had dinner at B.D.'s which was very good, and then walked around. The second day we went to the zoo, which was a really cool zoo. We spent most of the day there, then we got lost, literally, and then we were planning on going to the Rockies game that night. We were headed to the game and someone was selling tickets to the Broncos/Packers pre-season game so we paid a little extra and eventually got to the Broncos game. Turns out the seats were on the club level 40 yard line. They were great tickets and the club lounge was amazing. That was my first NFL game and I love football so it was a lot of fun. Then on our last day we went to a museum that everyone raved about, we thought it was just like any other museum, but it was just to kill time anyway. Then we took the short plane ride home and got to see our little girl, who was asleep and didn't even know we were there. It was a fun weekend.



There were a lot of baby animals, this is a baby gorilla who was adorable. Below is a baby giraffe and baby zebra. We brought Henley a stuffed giraffe home from the zoo, and she calls it her zebra giraffe. She knows the difference between zebras and giraffes but she named him zebra.

This poor camels humps were starting to fall over.





Bronco's Game

Some super bowl and All-Star rings

This was the lounge, some people just stayed in here to watch the game. There were flat screens everywhere, tons of food, a bar, and a huge fireplace.



Denver Museum
Mark checking out the bugs.

Ready to go home.

Bear Lake

Mark's family rented a beach house the last week of July at Bear Lake. I had not been there for a long time. The beach was a short walk from the house and it was shallow enough that the kids could play in it safely. Henley liked the water of course, here are some pictures.

Here she is hanging out in the raft.

I didn't go out on the boat but here is Mark getting ready to water ski. This is him succeding.

Mark's cousins had a floating trampoline and Henley loved it.

Henley enjoyed just sitting on the boat!
