Colorado and Uncle Tay!

Blakes and I decided to go with my parents to a family friend's wedding in Colorado for a number of reasons...see my grandparents, spend quality family time in the beautiful mountains, and to surprise Uncle Tay Tay! (He was in the wedding and we had told him that we weren't going to make it... ;) )

Taylor was also able to ride back to Iowa and spend a few extra days with us! We had a great time! One of the best parts was spending time at the zoo! :)

Our hotel...yes, the Super 8 was the nicest hotel in this little town :)

She loved the outdoors!

beautiful...

breathtaking...

he loves her...but I think she loves him a little more ;)

Love them...

The calf wanted her attention so bad, but all B could look at was the little girl :)

"Vacation" at the Fish Pond :)

We have been so excited, for a few months now, to hang out with all of the Fish kids! I told Ross...spending time with 6 children only confirms my hopes and dreams of having lots of kids ourselves. :)

From making 30 pancakes, 10 biscuits, 12 eggs and sausage gravy for breakfast to going to Bass Pro for the FREE Family Festival to watching the Disney Channel at night and having kids fall asleep on both of my shoulders...I completely understand why children are true blessings from the Lord. :) Here are a few pics of what we we did this weekend! :)

Etta loves B, but I think Blakes loves her more :)

too sweet :)

loved watching all of the kids love on Blakely :)
