Halloween

I can't believe this is our 4th year to the pumpkin patch! Those kids get measured each year next to this sign and they really are getting bigger! When Ava was 2 1/2, we could barely get her on the barrel trains. This year at 1 1/2, Cole jumped right on with his big sister.

In August when we were in Portland, Ava saw the red sparkle shoes for Dorthy at Target. The rest is history, the whole family jumped on board as The Wizard of Oz!

Portland, Oregon

We had the luxury of being in Portland with our cousins this summer for almost 2 weeks!

We had so much fun, I don't even know where to begin. We had a weekend at the beach with Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sue, a couple trips to McMenniman's, the pool, Pump it Up, a couple parks, a baseball game and much more!

There were many cousin laughs, baths and photo ops.

4th of July

We had a fabulous 4th of July in Telluride.

We saw lots of friends, enjoyed the parade and fireworks and did a high country hike!

Hermosa Creek Hiking

It was a perfect day to do a little hiking and check out the beautiful Lupine!

Fun was had by all!

Tree Planting on the Yaley Ranch

We planted our first Yaley tree on the property. There were some planted before but by the landscapers not us. This was our potted Christmas tree from December. It was surprisingly a lot of work! Good thing we have that tractor to do the digging!
