Colorado

Each summer Nathan and I visit his parents (LoLo and Pop) in Colorado. This was Brody's second summer and it was a perfect 10 days. He was in his element riding the four wheeler with Pop and Nathan, swinging, going to the park, playing in the creek, blowing bubbles, throwing rocks, eating at some of our favorite restaurants, being outside non-stop, and getting some really quality time with LoLo and Pop. Here were some of my favorite moments.

Rock On!

Buzz...

Brody got a haircut this week. Not just a trim...a buzz. It makes him look a lot older than 18 months!

Before/After

Maybe Nathan was tired of people saying Brody looks like me!

On another note, Brody had his 18 month check-up this week. Everything looks great. He is 35 pounds (99th percentile) and 36 1/2 inches tall (99th percentile).

Happy 60th Anniversary, Granny & Grandad!

Today Granny & Grandad have been married 60 years. They are a beautiful example of a loving partnership that has produced three fine sons, six grandchildren, and four (and still counting?!) great-grandchildren. We love you so much, Granny & Grandad.

Here is the entire Jennings family! Everyone came to town last weekend to celebrate with G&G.

Here are all the great-grandbabies...poor Jane. But look how cute Brody and Clare are holding hands!

Red River

Brody and I returned this week from an almost two week trip to Red River, New Mexico. We joined most of the Miller side of the family for a beautiful wedding of my cousin Tori and her new husband Scott. The wedding was the last weekend in June and then we stayed until after the 4th of July. Brody had the best time in the mountains. They are just what any young boy would love...lots of rocks, water, fish, activity, bugs, sun, trucks, dogs and much more. It was a wonderful trip, but it feels great to be back home (we missed Daddy.)

Great times with Uncle Andrew.

Brody loved meeting many cousins for the first time, but cousin Matt made a lasting impression!

Opa went to the stream and fished most days. Great outfit.

Success!

Andrew, Chelsea, Taylor, Carrie and I went for a hike to Lost Lake. It is a 6.5 mike trek (each way), going to an altitude of almost 11,000 feet. I have to brag about this because it was really hard, so I will probably not be going again!!!

Almost there. What a view.

There is snow up there! In July!

Is it unnecessary to say that Brody really loved the Jeep?

He also loved swinging with anyone he could talk into it.
Uncle Austin and Uncle Marcus both got suckered.

Moving Announcement

New Home, New Friends

Brody, Nathan, Zeke & I moved into our new house last week! There are still lots of boxes to unpack, but we love our new house. Brody spends a lot of time looking out the window...

and quacking at the ducks who visit our pool every day!

I will post pictures of the house once we get it a little more together.

We took a walk today...

and I took a few pictures

Conquest!
