Denver, CO

Colb and I had the chance to visit my brother Taft and his cute family at their new home in CO. We planned on it all summer long but it wasn't until we had a date set and I'd taken the time off of work that it really felt real. Which was good, I was distracted once the time came. We left early Friday and drove through Wyoming. I did a lot of sleeping and Colby did a lot of driving. Quite possibly the most boring drive ever if you're wife's a sleeper in the car. :) I used to get car sick as a kid if we drove farther than Layton from Roy so I eventually programmed my mind (or my butt as my dad would say) to put myself to sleep as soon as we pulled out of the drive way. I no longer get car sick but the button in my butt still kicks in every once and a while.
  We got their just in time to get ready and settled in and then headed to a Rockie's game. We visited the 16th street mall which was awesome and watched the Rockies whale on the D-Backs. Great game, yummy Rockie Dogs, and awesome company. We had a ball!
  Day two Taft and Colb hit the Golf course while Lesha and I hung out. We talked a lot and played with Linc. I learn so much from Lesha, She's an incredible mother and has the best advice.
  Later Taft took us to the famous Cherry Cricket while Lesha was as work and then to his boss' house to play games. Also a good time. We played catch phrase and made some good friends. Taft's boss and his wife are so much fun. They were so sweet to have us and even hugged me as we were headed out.
  Sunday we hit up a Farmer's market just to check it out. Later we shopped Nordstrom Rack and got lunch at Lesha's work, The Waterton Tavern. I'm now craving this place. I enjoyed what the menu referred to as "The Roxy". I was sure I had died and gone to heaven, not kidding. Colby and I were both shocked that I ate so much. Seriously, I'd pay $25 dollars for the Burger again. (just don't tell P that, I don't want it to go to head) :)
 Sunday night Colb and I went for a walk around their neighborhood and admired the little city that they have chosen to call home for a little bit. We loved it so much, we're hoping to move their one day. (if taft and lesha don't move ha ha)
  We stayed up watching tv and laughing and enjoying the company.
  We had to head home Monday morning and we were both disappointed. It was sad to say goodbye to Lincoln, he's growing up so fast. He mastered both our names while we were there and it was so sweet to hear him say them.
  Our drive home was uneventful. We found a little outlet mall that we quickly rushed through before heading the rest of the way home. I slept a lot less :) and Colby and I were able to just chat. We talked about life, goals, and Colby prepared a mini family home evening for us. It was such a fun trip. Now, if we could get Taft and Kady to move their families in the same direction,  that would be awesome! For now though, I'll take every second I can get wherever my family is.
  *Pictures from our adventure. VERY few but I'm getting better.

Bronco's Stadium - I'd love to go inside some day.

-Rockies Game

I LOVE this picture of Colby and Lincoln.
Also, Linc was helping us pack so he was taking my pillow to the car. He put it down in the wood chips and laid on it. It was adorable. However, I couldn't get the camera out fast enough.

Right before we left. I love his crazy hair and his sweet smile. Thanks for having us Arnold family, we're already trying to come back, possibly for longer. We love you!
