Washington, D.C.

Dave and I went to Washington, D.C. Easter week, April 8-12, 2009. We had a busy, but fun time. Enjoy a couple of pictures that the wonderful photographer Dave took ...

Happy 2009?

Wow ... can't believe I haven't updated my blog since November. Sorry about that. Where is 2009 going already? Can't believe it's March in 3 days!!

Here is a picture of Dave and me from his holiday work party at the beginning of January. Also, Austin got toys for Christmas so here is one of him too.


I'll try to keep up with this more often! Happy (late) New Year to all!

Chris

Mira and Jaisa are 2 Years Old Today!

These pictures are a couple of months old, but I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my sweet baby nieces! "Wassup Mira?" And "enjoy the coloring Jaisa!"

Autumn in Colorado 2008

Well gang, I know I haven't posted anything since May and LOTS has happened since then, but I just don't know how I'll catch up so I'll start over today. Having said that, Dave and I drove up to the mountains today to see the beautiful changing colors of Autumn in Colorado. It was so incredibly beautiful! These were all taken above Central City and Idaho Springs.

Ryan's Graduation

Our nephew, Ryan, graduated from Kindergarten today. The whole family was invited so Dave took a couple of hours off work to attend along with Ralph and of course Grandma (Ralph's mom) and Auntie (me). They sang 4 songs (one about a flower hence the flower head gear he designed) and of course all of us had tears in our eyes. It's just so hard to believe that he's growing so fast as are all our nephews and nieces! Here are some pictures ... enjoy!

Hayley tried on the head gear too!














And Auntie with the girls waiting for the program to begin:

Dad & Joy

Dave and I met my Dad and Joy in Castle Rock tonight for dinner to celebrate my birthday last week. We had a wonderful time as always and got to catch up on our lives. Here are pictures of us from dinner. Thanks for dinner Dad and Joy!!

Morning Star x2!

Well, our little bird above our front door has two babies now. Dave had read online that morning doves hatch two eggs so we were expecting the second one and she delivered. Here's the latest picture and of course we'll update when the babies arrive!
