Spring 2010

Mother's day at the Aquarium with Jeremy's mom and dad. We had a great brunch then walked through the aquarium. It was a fun day!










We fed the stingrays!! It feels like a really strong vacuum on your hand...YUCK!


I got to go to the Flatirons Womens Retreat with my sweet friend Diane and Rachel. It rained and snowed most of the time but it was a really beautiful younglife camp outside of Winter Park. I loved getting to spend some time with these girls!!

Zoo day with my sis and nieces. They are getting so big!!

This is what we are doing with most of our time...landscaping. Our house was a foreclosure in great shape on the inside but the outside needed a lot of work. There has been a lot in the gardens that has survived but there has been a lot of rock moving, weeding, trimming, cleaning, and planting happening. The pictures below are when we bought the house, notice there was a huge evergreen tree on the far side of the house that was totally over grown and growing into the house. Half of it has been cut off so that the branches wouldn't grow into the house. It was in really bad shape and had to be taken out. There were also three bushes that were so overgrown that when it snowed you couldn't walk on our sidewalk at all because they would cover it completely. The whole front bed was also covered in rock and there was major drainage/erosion problems. SO...all that to say it doesn't look like too dramatic of a change but it has been a ton of work.
BEFORE


AFTER...so far

This is our lovely crab apple tree, the blossoms were amazing this year!! Still a lot of work to do but its been a big improvement so far.

Sarah's Junior Prom 2010

Totally random story about Sarah...
We were at a rockies game with my parents a few weeks ago and she noticed this very cute boy sitting a few rows above us. I turned to see who it was and to my surprise I knew him. He is the little brother of one of my best friends!! To make a long story short they started hanging out, became fast friends, and Sarah asked him to her prom.
Sweet little Sarah and Adorable Andy went to her Junior Prom tonight. They both looked amazing!! So here are some pf the pictures from both Kinsey and I.


Sarah's friend Erin came over to do her hair and makeup. It looked lovely!! Then Zoe came over to put on the finishing touches and get dressed.
