I love Fall!

So this post is totally backwards but oh well! Jeremy and I have gotten to spend some fun times with Shanna, Dave, Eva and Mia lately. We went on a beautiful hike to see the changing aspen trees. Colorado is so breathtaking in the fall. I am so thankful that we get to be apart of our nieces lives, I am so glad we live close!




Oscar got to come too!

We celebrated Eva's 4th birthday with the family! She had a busy day-a party at the bouncy castle place with friends, riding the pony, and then a special birthday dinner. Shanna slaved over Eva's favorite dinner, orange chicken and sauted veggies, and when we sat down for dinner Eva took one bite and said "this tastes different." It was hilarious!

A few weeks earlier Jeremy and I got to spend the day with Eva and Mia. It was tons of fun!! Riding the train with Uncle Jeremy, going to the park, painting and making necklaces!

Celebrate!

Here are a few pictures from Shanna's 30th birthday. The girls from our family went on a cruise to the Bahamas!! These memories will last forever... I love these girls!





















Mom arranged for a galley tour (the kitchens) and Sarah got her cookbook signed by the executive chef and the sous chef!! It was awesome!

Anniversary...

Jeremy and I celebrated our four year anniversary together on August 27th. Over a scrumptious meal of crab legs, scallops, and wine we talked about how nothing we planned or imagined about our life together has happened the way we thought it would. We laughed about how unpredictable our life together has been but both agreed that we wouldn't change it for the world. We (Jeremy) are working really hard on building a new deck. Its going to be so AWESOME when it is done!! And I am back to work with a whole new bunch of kindergartners. They have been wonderful so far and I think it will be an amazing year with them. I am so thankful for the ability to teach and work with kids who need really good teachers. I think they impact my life far more than I impact theirs. Hope everyone is doing well!! It will be an exciting winter with so many close friends having babies and new changes in their lives. Lots of love!

Afghanistan Trip June 2010

We literally have thousands of pictures from our trip that all members of the team took while we were there. We made a really awesome snapfish book that we would love to share with anyone who would like to see. But here is a few of our favorites from the trip. It was remarkable, the whole trip was like nothing we have ever done before. We fell in love with the Afghan people we met and hope to someday soon return. There is much that can be done and the people could not be more grateful for aid.

Team Picture

Here is our first team picture for our trip to Afghanistan!! We are so excited that all the details are coming together and things are looking good for our trip. This is a great group of people it will be such an amazing experience to travel together. I can't wait for all the stories we will get to share soon. Check back this week for more info!!
