Yuma Home

We are moving to Yuma, Co. Our plan is to move there in mid December, before Baby Henry arrives. Chris has been working really hard on getting the house ready. We had the roof replaced and well worked on by professionals, everything else Chris has been doing himself. Thank you to our friend Steve who has come out a couple weekends to help with removal of heavy stuff and installation on kitchen cabinets. First Slide Show is before home improvements and second is after improvements. We still have more work to be done, but it is getting there.

Baby Henry

We are expecting an amazing little boy. His name is Henry, still working on the middle name. The above ultrasound pictures are from a couple of months ago (at 20 weeks). Below are some pictures of my 28 week baby belly.


As many of you know this is very exciting for Chris and I. We have been trying to have a little one for a few years now and have lost one baby on the journey. Chris took a job over-the-road driving so we stopped with all tracking and testing since there was no guarantee when he would be home. Just as everyone had told us, when you stop trying that is when it happens. Thank you everyone for all of your love, prayers and support.

Chris visits family April 17th

Chris made it out to see family and friends for day while driving to PA. Here are some pictures.

Hiking on April 10th

To get out of the house during the open house we drove up to the mountains for a little hiking. The weather was decent in the morning then got a little overcast and sprinkled a bit. We ended up just past Jamestown and the went further towards Estes Park. It is so nice to get out and see the beauty of Colorado.

March 27-28, 2010

Pinewood Springs Saturday March 27th

Pawnee Buttes Sunday March 28th, 2010

Over the weekend our house had showings scheduled for Saturday and an Open house on Sunday, so we had to get out with the dogs. On Saturday we picked up Steve and his dogs (Stormy and Spook) and went to Pinewood Springs for a little mountain hiking. On Sunday we headed out with the dogs to Pawnee Buttes at the Pawnee National Grasslands. It is funny to see pictures from one day with lots of snow and the other with desert like land. Got to love Colorado and all the outdoor options.

January 15-17, 2010 Lake Pueblo State Park

We wanted to get out and enjoy the weather, so we headed to Lake Pueblo State Park. Since it was only a couple hour drive we headed out Friday night. Instead of setting up camp we opted to stay in the back of the truck. Test out the new truck topper. On Saturday we got up hiked with the dogs then head out to do some kayaking. It was beautiful out, no clouds just sun and in the high 50s. Getting out was interesting, since off the edge of land was ice. We thought it would break up easily but we were wrong; you had to push on the ice to get to the open water. Saturday night just hung out by the camp fire then headed to bed. Sunday we went on a hike then for a short kayak trip. I thought I was doing so well, then it happened, I fell in the water. Burr, cold nothing like a little ice water to wake you up. Headed to the car for dry clothes while Chris hung out by the kayaks. Then it was time to pack up and head home.

Christmas 2009 Holiday

Over the Holidays my Dad and Mum came to visit us. They were only here for a short while, but it was wonderful to see them. Chris and I took them out for ride on the Georgetown Train one day and followed up with some shopping in the area.

Chris and I had a week off over the holiday, which was nice. We went hiking at Pinewood Springs one day, shopping for a new camera another, went to the butterfly museum and relaxed at home with movies. Here are some pictures from our Holiday.
