Ella's 3rd Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA!!!

Our Little Princess and her Castle.

Princess Fiona isn't really a morning person, she follows
after the king in that regard.

Every Princess needs a Prince Charming

Sir Hinxalot pulled the sword out of the stone,
vowing to protect the Princess from all evil.

When Sir Hinxalot went in for naptime, the Princess
proved she could handle her own!

Early Summer fun

We met up with Rob and Hannah downtown for dinner.
Hinx loved the after -party.

Cause when you're cool, the sun shines on you
24 hrs a day!

This is Hinx about a week before he started walking/running.

Sedona/Flagstaff

Fishtailing around some switchbacks down Cathedral Rock
and the back tire slid right off the edge, dragging everything
else down with it.

Backpacking West Fork Trail in Oak Creek Canyon
with Todd and Dan.

Cathedral Rock

Templeton Trail to Buddha Beach

Lava Tube Caves just north of Flagstaff
with my battle buddy Eric.

Poudre River, Rocky Mtn Tap

Beloved Fort Collins

These are the bikes we checked out from the Bike Library,
we absolutely loved cruisin' the Poudre River trail.

Blue skies, wide open spaces, and a pink cruiser.

That's me in a tree.

Self explanatory.

Words cannot describe.

Boulder, Co

Hiking the Flatirons in Boulder

Jill made me do it.

We hiked up to the top of the Flatirons where we found
a group rock climbing up the front face of the tallest one.

This wily mare is Peggy Sue

Popeye didn't particularly enjoy Peggy Sue's gas.
On the last half of the trip, Popeye took the lead and
wouldn't let Peggy Sue pass him up, despite MY efforts.
Another horse, Puddin', tried to pass Peggy Sue and
she tried to kick it in the face. Don't Mess!

Our trip to Downtown Denver

Summer Beginnings

Backpacking the Superstitions

A Big Girl

Ella surprised me and got dressed herself today...

Our Hinckley

Hinckley boy has been severely under represented on this blog and I want him to have a little time to shine. This boy is an angel. He is the happiest and easiest going baby I have yet to encounter. He is so pleasant and truly enjoys life. He brings me so much joy and it is a privilege to be his mom. We all love him and can't imagine life without this sweet little man.
