Horses Horses Horses

Lexi is all about horses. All horses, all the time. And unicorns. And Pegasuses... Pegasi? Not sure. She wants a real one (horse, that is) desperately, but at this time there is no funding for that so we "borrow" our friend's horses. Kari and I took riding lessons there when we were little, and I hope to continue the tradition with Lexi once the weather gets a bit warmer. In the mean time, Lexi brought the horses some Christmas goodies.

This one was really appreciative and thanked Lexi by giving her a head nudge. She is pregnant, so we'll get to see another little one this spring.

My camera is so fun to play with :)

New Year, Better Blogging?

Well, I think it is safe to say that I wasn't the most consistent blogger last year... I started off with good intentions, and then posting kind of fell by the wayside. So, I am going to be better about it this year!



We had a great Christmas. Kari and Drew came home for the holidays, and we all had a great time with them. It has only been a few months since we saw them last, but it was too long.



Lexi had her Christmas dance performance, and had a great time! She is in ballet and tap, and LOVES it.

Here is Lexi in her Christmas dress- this dress was actually hand-made by my mom's mom, Lexi's Great Grandmother, for Kari when she was little. It is a beautiful dress!

Here's to the new year - Happy 2010 everyone!

Camping Trip Pt 2

Camping Trip Pt. 1

Last weekend we FINALLY got to go camping... sadly, I think it's been about 2 yrs since the last time. We found this awesome spot outside of Estes, and had perfect weather (aside from a wind storm the first night that almost had the pop-up blowing over!!) The leaves were fickle; some were done turning, some were just starting, and some hadn't even started to turn yet! Weird.

Here's our dog on the first night... this was her first camping trip, and she LOVED it! But she's kind of a wuss and doesn't like the "cold" :) We bundled her up at night and she was then quite content.

More pics to come...

Denver Botanical Gardens

I LOVE this place!!

Lexi on the catwalk... I think she might watch a little too much Next Top Model... :)

We finally made it up to the mountains this weekend. We decided to scope out a campsite to use in a couple weeks- woo woo!! Thought we'd play around Estes Park for a bit too. It was all about Lexi yesterday :)


She loves this playground, so we stopped and grilled hot dogs while she played.


She did stop to pose for a few shots for me down by the stream. These were taken before she fell in!

And here's when she got tired of posing for me...


This is one of the things I like about Estes-

Lots of places to relax.
