Easter 2012






HE HAS RISEN!!  HE HAS RISEN INDEED!!  We are so thankful for what our Savior did for us on the cross and that we can celebrate his resurrection!  Happy Easter!

Old Colorado City/Cave of the Winds

We took a drive to visit Old Colorado City!  The town is beautiful but because the weather was so nice, there were so many people and NO parking so we just had to drive through downtown.  We will go back for more pictures :).  We found a park that was just as beautiful.  We walked down by the creek and watched squirrels jumping from tree to tree.  It was a great time!









Right up the road from the park was Manitou Springs and Cave of the Winds.  We decided to take the steep drive up to the cave.  Once we got there we were told young kids and babies were not allowed in the cave due to the unstable footing so we just stood on the balcony of the restaraunt and enjoyed the view! :)


 Yes, those are people on that contraption!  They are wearing harnesses and you climb all over it!

Garden of the Gods

We had some warm weather (80s) and decided to get out and see some of the moutains!  We hadn't been to Garden of the Gods, so we made that our day's adventure! :)
 The beautiful view of Pikes Peak
 "Kissing Camels"







Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A Day at the Zoo

While Jason was on his crazy shifts, we had days off during the week, so we decided to take a trip to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! It was a gorgeous day and the kids had a blast! We will most definitely be returning...



 Paige was SO excited to feed the giraffes!  I think it was the highlight of her day!






JaNuArY

Well, it's 2009! Where has the time gone? We are looking forward to a great year!
Paige, 17 months now, is the joy of our lives! She is so much fun and everyday makes us smile and laugh. She is growing up so much and talking more and more! It's getting colder now, so we have to play inside alot. Her sandbox sits empty for the winter. Soon enough, it will be spring and we will be out and about! We are planning on planting a garden - she will love being in the dirt. It will be a great outdoor activity!
Jason is still traveling back and forth to Phoenix, which is a long drive for him, but he and I are so thankful that he has a good job! He is currently involved in our church's Men's Fraternity and is the director of our AWANA's TREK (junior high) group (as am I). We are also involved in a young families group as well.
I am still staying at home and enjoying the precious time I have with Paige. I also babysit my friend's little boy as well. They are great friends already! :)
We are planning for more children, and are sure it will happen in God's time! We are so thankful for all of His provisions in our lives! HAPPY 2009!
