A Year Later...

What a difference a year makes!

Last year in May my mom suffered a major heartattack.

She is one of the few lucky to survive the type that she had,

and to celebrate another year of life, we headed out to 

Colorado over her birthday.

At this same time last year we were also hoping to be able to

add to our family, and we have since been blessed 

with Jonathan Carl.

This last year has been good to us! 

We all stayed with Grandma Kitty at Lincoln Meadows,

she is so nice to always let us stay with her, and we love to!

 We got to visit Cinnamon

 Grammies and Jonathan at the barn

 For Christmas Nathan and I got iFly certificates from

Grammies and Boompa to try out indoor skydiving.

It was awesome!

James wanted to try too, and with the new 

Dragon's movie coming out and Hiccup has

a flight suit in the movie, we decided he could try too.

They had to turn the air down for him

or he would've flown through the roof :)

It was lots of fun, we'll go again when Jack is 

old enough to try it!

Grammies, Boompa, Grandma Kitty, and Jack and

Jonathan watched while we had our turn.

 I love this sweet shot

The next day we had a family dinner for Grammies!

Uncle Dana and Aunt Maggie came up from the Springs,

and Uncle Kyle and Aunt Carol came too to Lincoln Meadows

to celebrate life and family.

I got to see my best friend growing up Heather on the trip too,

and I can't believe that we didn't get a picture :(

We have planned a race together in the fall so I'll get a whole 

weekend with her and I'm so excited for that!

Happy Birthday Grammies!!!

We are glad we could celebrate with you!
