Funny Story!!!

Ok so…Nate AND I were cuddling together in the hammock in our front yard. I went to sit up and WHAM!!!…we landed on the ground. I was laughing so hard I didn’t notice that Nate was holding his head. I then saw blood, which freaked me out. The screw holding the hammock up came right out of the tree and whipped Nate in the head. If you look closely you can see each ridge of the screw. He experienced a headache and some back pain but is doing fine. Now we can laugh at it and…Nate and I won’t be in the hammock together anymore!

I was cleaning the kitchen and turned toward the dining room. Gunnar had made a train all by himself. He was so proud!

Memorial Day BBQ

We hosted a Memorial Day BBQ at our house along with some friends (neighbors). Over 35 people showed up. Everyone seemed to have a really good time.

Nate and our friend Craig (neighbor) cooked all the food.
The kiddo's enjoyed yard games and later roasted marshmellows.

Estes Park!!!

We took a trip to Estes Park as a family along with Nate's brother, sister-in-law and family. (As I looked through my camera, I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of them.) We had such a good time---fishing, shopping, enjoying the jazz fesitval and the Stanley Hotel! (See pictures of Stanley Hotel below)

Stanley Hotel

The Stanley Hotel...opened in 1909. It was the location of Stephen King's Mini-Series movie "The Shining" What a sight to see!!!


This is room "217". If you remember the movie in room 217 was where all the scarey stuff happened. I'm not sure that this was the "actual" room used for the movie, it's just the room that holds number 217. People stay at this hotel and I asked about prices, depending on the season, and exactly what part of the hotel you want to stay but it ranges from $200.00-800.00 a night.

Jesse's Graduation!
