The Start of Spring

Spring started off gorgeous in Colorado, then a few days later it snowed. Not surprising at all. I for one am just happy that warmer days are the majority and the days are getting longer!

We celebrated Easter at my Mom's house with all of my siblings, Bellamy's cousins, and sisters fiancee's families. Quite a large group! I spent half the afternoon trying to capture the best picture of Bellamy in her first Easter dress, I at least got a few. The cousins all enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt, Bellamy found her first egg...and inside was her first toy car!

Just a few weeks after Easter I celebrated my 29th birthday! Whitcomb truly spoiled me this year; we celebrated for a night out to dinner at Vesta Dipping grill, then spent the weekend in Steamboat Springs with my sister, Cayla and her fiancee Todd.


Steamboat was projected to get 18" of snow while we were there, we maybe saw 3" total for the whole weekend, but nothing that even accumulated on the ground. We had a nice relaxing weekend and spent most of it swimming. It was Bellamy's first time in an actual swimming pool and she did AWESOME!!! After doing so awesome in the pool, the next day we went to Strawberry Springs hot Springs. We all had such a good time!

We were getting back into routine and had many things on the calendar, one of which included a BBQ at Wash park in Denver. The evening before the bbq, Whitcomb and I had gotten into a fight because I was mad that he kept inviting so many people to a bbq we were invited to. Well....little did I know that the bbq was a surprise party for me!! Whitcomb coordinated a whole surprise party for me with the help of our friends, I was shocked and confused...But it was a great afternoon! I don't know if I was more surprised by the party, or the fact that Whitcomb was able to keep the secret from me for soooo long.

29 is off to a great start for me! I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband and daughter each and every day!
