Fun day at Devil's Backbone

Yesterday I took Lil Peanut hiking. It was such a beautiful Colorado day it only seem logical to get out and about. We went to Devil's Backbone Park, which isn't to far of a drive for us. I have to say I was impressed with how well this open space was cared for. Kudos to living in Northern Colorado ;) Lil Peanut was so excited to be the "leader" and I was one very proud momma for how well he did! We ended our nice lil hike with a picnic in the shade and deer sightings. Here are a few pics of the fun day trip.

100 Year Flood

This has been a long week for Lil Peanut, myself and the people of Northern and Eastern Colorado. We have experience a horrible 100 year flooding in our area. Thousands of homes are damaged and destroyed. Luckily our house was safe enough with minor issues but all of the roads running north and south were closed. Our town was split in two.

I was very grateful and blessed to be able to spend a couple of days with my family and just relax. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone dealing with the Colorado flooding.

Labor Day Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Belated I know, I'm just now getting around to posting these pictures. We went to the Taste of Colorado, and walked around. It was bustling with people trying all kinds of yummy food, and of course there was music! After a few hours of walking around Lil Peanut got to play on the gigantic cows that are just outside of the Art Museum. Pictures to enjoy of course!

Plaaaay Ball!

My good friend Katie invited Lil Peanut and I to a Rockies game recently with her lil girls. It was a nice,sunny, but hot day! Peanut had so much fun watching everyone hoot n holler, not to mention watching all the other fans! It was Peanut's first ball game and it couldn't of been more fun. Thanks Katie for a great time!

Here are some pictures that we took after the game!
