Colorado Love

A little overdue... (the post, not Jen)!
A few weeks ago, we took a quick jaunt over to Colorado for Jen's Baby Shower! It was a quick, but awesome weekend. It was packed chuck full with fun! We went to Max, Peyton and Aydan's T-Ball game. Afterwards, I headed to the baby shower while Collin got to play and hang out with all the little boys, my dad and Steffan. Jen is so adorable pregnant! The last time I saw her, her belly hadn't even popped out yet, but she's SO cute preggers!!! PS I'm obsessed with Emily's twins! I have her text me pictures of them as often as she can.
Jen got a TON of cute little boy stuff. My mom made the little guys bedding and tons of blankets, rags. They decided on John Deere fabrics and I never realized how incredibly adorable that could be. So cute!!! And lets talk for a second about little boy outfits. I'm sure its common knowledge that it is so fun and easy to dress baby girls, because c'mon, there's a ton of options for cutesie things. Whereas, baby boy department... hasn't had the best track record. Trust me, I used to work in the childrens department at Nordstrom for quite sometime and options were lacking. The pickins were slim and and ... not cute. But NOW... holy canol's ... SO stinkin adorable. Major props to the baby clothes makers so that the baby makers can dress the babies cute! :)
Anyway, after the shower we headed to the lake. Hallelujah! I LOVE that place. Probably on my top 5 list. The weather was gorgeous and we had a fabulous time. Nothing is better than hanging out with the family all together at the lake! Ya! Nothing! There was wakeboarding, rope swinging, beaver dam breaking, frog catching, eating (Steffan is pretty fab BBQer), laughing, and chatting. It was glorious.
Sunday was wonderful too! I love going to my parents ward and seeing old faces and feeling that Denver North Stake Love. WE had a little BBQ after church and then we got back on the airplane (which we almost missed... I think my mom does this intentionally so that eventually we will be forced to stay another day... or forever. She's a clever lady.)
Love Colorado!!

hmmm, i guess it's ok that you didn't take any pictures with me since you posted pics of my twins. I just think it's funny that you and Jen think you only have 2 sisters?!?

It's not your fault that we photograph so well together. I think we all could have done without the picture of me in the swimsuit..."hey lady, there's a whale on your boat"!
