Love you guys! Thank you so much for putting up with us and all of the rain that we brought!

I love the flowers that you bought! They're beautiful!

Gridley thought that Butch should be petting him-not sleeping!

The Ranch, Part II

Horses out in the pasture while a storm rolls in.
MMMmmmm.....bacon.....

Lots of doggies...
The bunkhouse-we spent the night here on Saturday night. Sunday night we slept in the guest bedroom. Wish I'd taken photos inside the bunkhouse. It was very beautifully decorated.

Elizabeth and William playing Fusbol in the game "house."

The llama. He keeps an eye on 86 when she gets out. He doesn't leave the fenced-in area, but he hangs out nearby.


William on the four-wheeler.

Elizabeth learning the controls on the four-wheeler.

An intense game of fusbol while Elizabeth plays with the barn kitties.



Pike's Peak from the south as we were heading toward Colorado Springs.


Bryan on the four-wheeler.
We had such a wonderful time at Laura and Charlie's. I wish I could post ALL of the photos that I took. But that would take far more time than I have. It was great and I can't wait to go out and visit again. Thank you! Happy Friday!

The Ranch, Part I


Laura and Charlie's ranch in Southern Colorado.

When Laura and Charlie found this horse, he was severely malnourished. He used to be a racehorse. They have had him for a while now and he still isn't up to his proper weight.


This is 86. Also known as, Houdini. She gets out of the pen a lot. Like twice in one day while we were there.
This is 96. He is still being bottle fed.

This is one of the hens. She is good at keeping eggs warm, so that is what she does.

Here we are with Laura & Charlie on Sunday night. They are totally awesome people and Laura did a great job of taking care of my husband before I was old enough to meet him :) Laura made some awesome food and we thank both of them so much for having us and putting up with us over the weekend!

Love this photo-I can't remember if Sarah took this one or if one of the kids took it. But it turned out great! And look at that backdrop! Love to get photos of me with my sweetheart!

I know Sarah took this photo. I am going to use this layout for the cover of my vacation book.
We had such a great time in Colorado! More photos of Sarah and Jeremy coming soon. Happy Popcorn Day {Thursday}!

Colorado Sunset

Sunset in southern Colorado after a storm.

Tuesday is golf day (finally not rained out!) and then we rented a movie, so no time to post much tonight. I love this photo that was taken on Laura and Charlie's ranch after a thunderstorm. So beautiful. I hope to have more vacation posts later in the week-or maybe over the weekend. Happy Wednesday!

Taking Photos

My sister and I love taking photos! Whether it is of each other, the beautiful scenery, or the local foliage (lots of these!) we always have a camera handy. And my sister takes fabulous photos! Thanks, Sarah! I actually got to be in some vacation photos!
Sarah saw a marmot hiding under a rock and stayed to take photos, so it took her a little while longer come down from the top of Mt. Evans. He was a cute little guy.

Sarah and I taking photos of each other taking photos at our campsite :)

I uploaded 250 photos to Shutterfly yesterday (it's not as impressive as it sounds.... ) It was really great sharing photos with Sarah as we took them so that we both have photos like this :)
I decided to create a photobook with my vacation photos, so I will be starting that process very soon. I can't wait to play with all of the photos! Happy Tuesday!
