Colorado!!!

Hi! We're back! Whew!! Last week, we flew to Denver to see my whole family. It was so great to just all be together again! The girls traveled like champs since this was the first time that Ryan and I flew with them with no help! And we did it! :) Ryan is amazing. We get on the flight and he somehow gets Hailey to sleep in record timing. Then I am sitting in between Addy and Emily with NO luck whatsoever in getting them to sleep. So we managed to switch places and then he gets BOTH of them to sleep too! They were great! And, the way home was the same story! He got all 3 of them to sleep too! Unbelievable! So the travel was no big deal at all which was SO great! The hardest part of it all was just carrying 3 girls, 3 car seats, 3 suitcases, and 4 backpacks. :) :)

Here's my awesome fam!!!

And the MOUNTAINS!!! I LOOOVVEE COLORADO!!!!!

On Friday we all drove up to the mountains (minus my brother Kyle and his fiance Heather who had a wedding out of town) :( but we got a cabin and attempted to have a great time!!

Here we are hiking.... my sister and I...

And this was Addy. Every time we wanted to catch our breaths...Addy was like "Come on! Let's go Mom!!" She LOVED hiking and wanted to race on ahead all the time.
Hailey and Em preferred this method of hiking. :) Thanks Ry and Uncle Cory!! :)

Taking a breather...
So after the hike, things started to go downhill. Emily threw up, then my sister Kara, then Addy, then my mom, then Ryan, and then my brother Kyle...so our fun weekend up in the mountains wasn't as fun as we would have liked. Not sure if they all got food poisoning or some random bug...but it was not pretty!!! Even with all that sickness, we still managed to do some fishing and some outlet shopping. :)

The girls!!! Laura, Heather, me and Kara!
The weather was H.O.T. when we were there. 100 degrees is a killer - even WITH no humidity!!! So Addy , Hailey, and Em LOVED being in the pool. They are getting so good at swimming now! :)

Sisterly love! (HAE)

The cousins! Kamryn, Em, Bryce, (poor Bryce) :) Addy, Hailey

Bryce, Addy, Em, Kami, and Hailey

Hailey had a ball with Auntie Kara's high heels. :)
Playing with my cousins Jordan and Jenna...

I couldn't get enough of my niece Kamryn and nephew Bryce! SOOO wish we lived closer!!!!

And before we left, we went to the Brewers/Giants game! This is how into the game Emily was... :)

And so we had to go to the kid section. I think we both only saw one pitch of the whole 5 innings that we were there. :) (HAE) But it was still a great time - too bad the Brew Crew lost...
