Colorado with the Gentry's

Part 2 of our Colorado Adventure! We headed down to Grand Junction, CO and stayed with our friends, the Gentry's! They are so awesome and we loved catching up with them!

We had a blast swimming!

Those kids are so dang cute!

Hadley enjoyed being out in the sun playing with the big kids!

She loved ALL the attention! She is a people-person for sure!

She is not intimated by anyone!!! Even if they are bigger!

Jason & Mike

We love the Gentry's and hope we see them soon!

Colorado with Grandparents!

Mike, Hadley, and I had so much fun going to Colorado! Pictures don't do justice for how beautiful it is there! We hope to move to Colorado someday, hopefully soon!

We pulled into my Grandparents house - beautiful huh!

We saw deer everyday - they think they own my Grandpa's old truck

We went up into the mountains - about 5 minutes from the house to see this! No photoshopping necessary on these photos!

Daddy loved showing Hadley all God's beautiful creations!

Hadley loved smelling the gorgeous wild flowers!

There are hundreds of natural lakes and rivers up on the mountain - feel free to make this your desktop background - I know I did!

Hadley loves when Daddy holds her!

The view on the way down!

Getting warmed up...

And Take-Off has begun!!

Flying Fast!

And the verdict.... She LOVED it!!! We loved going on Quad rides while we were there!

And for down time, we'd swing on the porch in the beautiful weather!! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for the best vacation ever!!

A Day at the Park

While in Snowflake, we decided to hit up the park for the evening. It was cool and very fun! The kids loved it, especially the swings.

We love the Park and are so excited for it to cool off so we can start playing outside again!

Summa Summa

Summertime has been fun, HOT but fun! We have had so much fun playing with cousins and Aunts and Uncles!

Hadley loves her Aunt Shay & Aunt Kylee

Playing in the Pool!

Loves the Water

Someone was in Hadley's car seat and Parker thought it was so funny, he had to see who was in it! It was Jase!

Hadley LOVES Dax

Aunt Tara and Hadley girl

Daddy & Hadley

This little girl loves to stand! She lost interest in walking, but that's okay she's only 9 months!

Hadley and Baby Bridger - Best of Cousins!

I know I know, this is only well 3 months overdue, but like I always say better late than never! It's true too, I loved late wedding (or any occasion) gifts, who wouldn't! Especially when you really aren't expecting them! Well my sister, Kori, had her little man and did an awesome job, might I say! I hope to be like her in the delivery room on the next go-around (no epidural - wow!) Tyler and Kori are such great parents, and we love having little Bridger around! He is so cute, and I don't mind watching him (hint, hint) if you ever need me too!

Grandma and Hadley girl! Hadley & Bridger have the best Grandma ever!

Hadley and Bridger boy. Oh he is adorable, I can't get over it!!

Looks like I am going to need to take some updated pics of the cousins together again!! They sure grow up fast! We love you Bridger boy, thanks for joining us!

Summer Time in Snowflake

Well, we are back! Mike, Hadley, and I spent a good portion of our summer up in Snowflake/Heber, AZ. Mike was working on a LDS youth camp in Heber, AZ with a construction company for his internship for ASU. Mike's parents have a cabin up in Snowflake and were generous enough to let us crash there for a few months, which is only 25 minutes away from Mike's work, so it was perfect! We had a blast and it was nice to get away from the heat, well cooler heat... If that makes sense! We came back down to the Valley on a lot of weekends though to see family and for birthdays, holiday celebrations, and Baby Bridger was born (more blog posts to come with these events)! Chase, Bethany, and Oakley came up to visit us for a weekend, we love hanging out with them! Hadley loves Oakley! The day they left, she learned how to crawl and learned to escape the Bumbo! Oakley is a great teacher, we love him!

Grandpa & Grandma helped us pack up to head to Snowflake - Grandpa closed Hadley in with her toys so she wouldn't wiggle off the couch!

Hadley likes to wear her bibs like a cape... She also loves to tip her entire body back as far as she can when drinking her sippy!

Oakley & Hadley missed each other, they say Hello by giving kisses (when forced too)

They love playing together, in the Bumbo and on the floor!

Mike and Chase had an extremely muddy, fun, time on the quads!

Look at all that mud!

Who can the other one the most dirty?!

I spy... a Foot and a Quad - they are camouflaged in mud!

Hadley loved to watch as they had fun in the mud!

Isn't she the cutest! She learned lots of new tricks over the summer, we had a blast and don't worry there are plenty more posts to come!!

Thanks Chase, Bethany, & Oakley for coming up to visit us, we had a Blast!!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

We are so grateful for this wonderful country that we live in and for the freedoms we enjoy! We are also grateful for our little All American baby, she is growing up so fast!!
