A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to do some backpacking. We were challenged with the snow still on the ground and had to be selective on where we went. I had poured over hiking books in our area and picked out a few trails I knew I could do but the snow was an issue, so Dean picked the route. That being said, I should have expected I would think I was going to stroke out on the trail. Dean is a seasoned backpacker, me, no...this was my first trip. It was straight up for three miles, the last stretch being the worst! When I pulled up the ratings on the hike its rated as difficult. Who does that to their girlfriend on their first trip? Dean does...that's who. Between catching my breath by stopping every 50 feet and laughing the entire way with Dean, I truly enjoyed myself and felt blessed to be in Gods great country!
I obviously didnt know what was ahead of me at this point. Parking lot getting ready!
Dean and I
Caleb is amazing. He hung out with us for about a half mile then climbed the mountain like a goat! Loved spending time with him even though he didnt really hike with us, he is still awesome.
Breathtaking....or wait, maybe I was just out of breath period.
I love this man, especially when we hike together. What a guy!
Caleb relaxing in his element. I love this picture of him, all that's missing is his guitar.
Two weeks ago we headed off to Colorado to watch my beautiful sister marry her partner Melissa. Welcome to the family Melissa! We are a crazy bunch of people but we will keep you entertained.
April Sue
So proud of her for being her and finding the love of her life!
April and Melissa. Dean was the photographer and I am trying my hand at photo edit. So much fun but mind bending for me.
Ryker during the ceremony. He had the hardest time sitting still so we stood in the back and goofed off.
Kaylee Fo Faylee....always photogenic!
Morgan and Ryker

The Sisters! April, Melissa, Me and my other beautiful sister Leslie
Dean and Ryker, I am pretty sure Ryker ate a dozen deviled eggs
One of my favorite places to go is Pearl Street in Boulder. There are so many different shops and street performers. Oh....also a fabulous bar with great oysters...great memories in that place.

I cant think of anything better than laughing with your daddy!
Last but not least! We were blessed to be able to spend time with Blaine, Cristin and their amazing little family. We had so much fun with them and cant wait until our next visit. We took the kids to Lagoon and watched their smiling faces all day long. Wonderful visit from the Berminghams!
