Denver - Day 1


We left for the airport at 4:30 and had a great flight.


We got to ride the train to baggage claim. Bonus!
I love how Julia is holding on like the recording said to.


We were all super excited to see Daddy!!

Together at last.


We spent 4 hours at the Denver Zoo. Boy is that a cool place!
The weather was perfect!




My first ride on a Merry-Go-Round animal in decades.


The best part of going to the zoo is seeing it through the eyes of my children.


Bonding with Grandma



Yummy Ice Cream!!!


Where's mine?




I love this one of Sam and Grandma on the train.


These were some of our favorite animals:


As expected we were exhausted by the end of the day and went to the hotel to check in and hopefully get a good nights rest. Mission accomplished! The kids both went to sleep well and slept through the night. Good thing too because the next day was just as busy......

  1. Looks like a great beginning to your trip! I think your stroller is really neat! You want to know what I thought about as I was looking at your pictures? I couldn't imagine having to carry Julia at the zoo! Hope she sat in the stroller or you were able to carry her in the sling!

  2. Thankfully she was happy to sit in the stroller a lot of the time. 25+ pounds of baby girl is too much for me without the sling so it was nice to have that option as well. You'll see it in future pictures that sometimes I used the sling as a purse. It was an easy way to grab the camera I needed at the moment.

  3. What a great trip so far! Miriam especially enjoyed all of the animals. I hear you on 25 pounds being too much to carry. Miriam is about that much, and now that I have Kevin, she doesn't get carried around too much. But there is something to the denseness of babies. Kevin is only 15 pounds but seems to be heavier since his weight isn't as spread out as Miriam's. Look forward to more pictures.

  4. I was JUST thinking of you today Valerie! I wanted to thank you for the travel tip about extra clothes for me. Julia rarely has a blow out that gets on anything else besides her own clothes, but sure enough, when we were dropped off at the airport on Monday I got a bunch on me.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
