Memorial Day Memories

By -
My tradition of running the Bolder Boulder was cancelled because of COVID - but that didn't stop us from creating our family fun day.  Though we are still under "Safer at home" rules, we tried to be creative and plan some fun things.
First up . . . Donuts at Lemar's.  We ate them in Garrett's truck.  It was a slightly chilly morning - but it ended up warming up a bit.
Next adventure was Philip S. Miller park in Castle Rock.  We made sure we got to this park early so that we could avoid any possible crowds.  The kids had so much fun playing at the various connected parks.










I didn't get a picture of the stairs . . . but we all did the mini incline.  200 stairs.  With a little extra needed cheerleading for the girls and we all made it up.  


We had a creative outlet and participated in a fun little service project.  We made over 25 notes/pictures for a senior living care center. 
We ended this very fun day all snuggled up watching a family movie together.  I sure love this sweet family of mine!!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
