Our 1 Year Anniversary

I would have never imagined that I would be in my 8 1/2 month of pregnancy during our first anniversary.  Life continues to amaze me, and how so many Blessings and events can seem to happen overnight.   We had a wonderful day enjoying breakfast at out favorite hole-in-the-wall place called "Joe's Cafe."  Then off to Estes Park, enjoying the scenery, lake, and some softball games. Then out for dinner and back home to eat the frozen 1-year Double Chocoloate Zucchini cake.  With the tiniest nibble by both of us (it was absolutely disgusting),  I served up a fresh piece of the cake that I made for us to enjoy.  Marriage is such an amazing journey, and I am so lucky to experience it with such a wonderful and devoted husband!

Hmmm?  Which one looks better??? :-)

Planting Day - 8/1/10

Joe cut down and dug out the dead Aspen tree that was in the front yard and planted a Greenspire Linden Tree out front on August 1st.  It will be neat to watch it grow along with out first child.  :-)

Greenspire Linden - After
It's there, I promise...he's hidden!

Ok, that one is a little easier to see.

The Aspen trunk that Joe had to dig out.  Not fun!

Baby Shower

We were literally "showered" with lots of love and gifts for our new little guy on July 18. Joe's aunt, Blair, organized a web shower where friends and family could go to this website, play games, sign the guestbook, and login to a live video chat to watch the shower my friends put on locally here in CO.  My friends Natalie, Amanda, and Cindy put on a shower at our home with many of my Colorado friends.  It was all very overwhelming and so wonderful to share this time with so many of the special people in my life.  A big "Thank You" to everyone who put this even together and participated in it!!!

Thank you to everyone!  We went from having very little to having lots of wonderful things to start our new adventure!!!  Only 6 1/2 weeks to go!!!
