This month marks six months since Lydia was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome, and honestly, it might as well have been six years. This has been the fastest six months and yet, I honestly can’t hardly remember life before. So much has changed that sometimes life feels foreign to me still. I have been thinking about …
Downtown Aquarium
Our final adventure in Colorado was to the Downtown Aquarium. This was another fun stop that Mark and I used to do back when we lived here. I will admit though, it was a little underwhelming in ways. I’d say it has some bigger displays and animals then the aquarium we like to go to …
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
Our last FULL day in Denver was BUSY! First stop was the Nature and Science Museum. Mark and I LOVED this place when we lived here and it was so much better with our kids! They were a little skeptical before but we stuck with it because we knew they would love it and THEY …
Denver Zoo
Sarah’s pose in this picture makes me chuckle every time I look at it! This day was wonderful. We left Granby in the morning and made the drive over to Denver. The weather couldn’t have been better. It was cool and the sun was out. We grabbed some lunch and had a picnic in the …
Rocky Mountain National Park
We woke up bright and early with the plans of spending the whole day in Rocky Mountain National Park. We were on the road by 8:00 and it was COLD. We bundled and layered with pretty much everything that we had and I had brought hand warmers as well (which proved to be a lifesaver!). …
Granby
We are kind of at that point where we just have to laugh at how frequently things are just not working out for us! Our family trip this year was no exception! Last year, we had pulled South Carolina for our state this year and we were all so excited. Mark and I had actually …
The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation
General Conference Oh how I love General Conference. It fills my sprit and helps give me purpose and direction. This conference seemed even more centered on our Savior, Jesus Christ than in conferences past. And it was filled with messages of FAITH and LOVE. Another theme I haven’t seen recently that I felt repeated several …
Family Pictures
Is there anything better than new family pictures?! They make me so happy. So here is some family goodness for you. Pictures from Katie Belle Photography – thank you so much for sharing your talents!
G-Tube
Oh this little lady. This last month has been a doozy. It has been a long one. And to be honest, this particular event was something I didn’t even want to think about. We were first approached about getting a G-tube for Lydia last spring. And I did NOT want it. I hated the idea …
Sarah’s 7th Birthday
Oh my Sarah. One of the many fun things about being a parent is hearing the countdown for MONTHS until birthdays! Sarah has been so excited to turn seven years old and the day finally came! I seem to have passed on my love of planning to Sarah because she had her day all planned …
