Random shots

Janessa and I planted tulips last year at the cabin.  Here they are coming up and blooming.  The next time I went over, they were all eaten.  We will see what happens this next Spring.
 

We had Fire Restrictions this summer so haven't been able to take advantage of our new seats around the fire pit yet.
 

Headed to Rifle, Colorado for the Encana Expo that Redi sponsors.  It was actually a fun night.  Several restaurants prepare meals and you can taste them.  It fills you up!
 

Dad is SOOOO proud!
 

The guys from Colorado, some pig and dad.  I didn't realize that Craig (Rifle Manager) was a big as he is in this picture!
 

Not alot to do while in Rifle so after the Expo we headed down random streets.  Here we saw a house fire.  I was too slow to get a pic with the flames shooting out of the second story window.
 

The firefighters putting on their protective gear to check the fire inside.
 

The fire was so hot that it burned the neighbor's siding off their home!
 

Photo Shoot with Kinsley

While in Parker, we took advantage of Ashley's photo-taking skills and tried to have a mini photo session with Kinsley.  Kinsley didn't want to cooperate too well though.  Here is Janessa with the soothing lullaby music.
 

Ashley being the patient photographer while trying to get Kinsley to calm down and go to sleep again.
 

It finally took mommy getting involved to calm lil' baby.
 

We did get some cute photos!
 

Then it was time to say goodbye.  Josie got into the truck and wanted to go home with us.
 

She wasn't going to let her daddy open the door.
 

Oh I wish we could have brought you home sweetie!  We love you!
 

At the Denver Zoo.......

While Jay was at his Oil and Gas Convention, the rest of us went to the Denver Zoo.  It was a hot day and hundreds of school children were there.  We stayed a couple of hours and then left to find a good BBQ place to eat at.  Smiles were hard to come by for some of us.  :)
 

 

 

 

 

 

Josie loved her Uncle Joel on this trip!
 

 

Off to Parker!

A few weeks after Kinsley was born, we took off to see Josie, Ashley and Jared in Colorado.  Jay had some stops along the way relating to Redi so we stopped at this rest stop for a few minutes.  It was quite nice.  I had never been there before.  Besides the bathrooms.....they have a little museum that is opened in the summer.
 

It was SO fun to see this lil' Miss again!  Oh how I miss her not living close by!  Her personality is big and it is so much fun being around her after she warms up to you.  I always hate when we leave because I know she will forget us and we have to start all over again in getting Josie to come to us but oh she is a cutie pie!

This day Janessa, Josie, Kinsley and Grammie went for a walk around the neighborhood.  Don't you love her sunglasses!?!
 

 

 

 

What a big smile!
 

Such a happy girl!
 

Kinsley didn't really care where we are as long as we didn't disturb her beauty rest!
 

Kinsley between 0 to 1 month....

Sometimes its exhausting to be a baby.......
 

But not always.....
 

Sometimes it's just as exhausting being an adult......
 

Poor mommy!
 

Daddy had it pretty easy....sittin' and talkin'
 

Not too sure about this new toy at Grammie's.
 

Fun times with fun toys

We went to visit the kids one day and they were just coming back from a walk.  Corbin didn't want to ride his 4 wheeler anymore so Emily helped him.
 

For being so young, Corbin knew how to ride that toy!
 

Tyson had to show us how he could ride his bike.
 

Tyson selling us candy bars he had to sell for T-Ball.  He was a great salesman!  We bought 20!
 

Cutest lil' cutie pie!
 

Tricks
 

and more tricks!
 

Happy to show off!
 

And just plain Happy!
