Family Togetherness

The CA Fam came to Colorado for a week long visit. I picked them up at the airport and we headed down to the parental's house. I was lucky enough to spend the weekend down there and play with the whole fam! It was so fun! We relaxed, BBQ-ed, churched it up and just enjoyed each other's company. Unfortunately, Jarad had to stay up north and work. :(


David & Kevin- having "man" time with the Wii.


Daddy asleep on the couch.


Lori & Jordan just hanging out.


Mom (Nana) & Audrey reading stories together.


Lindsey, Audrey & Shelby (the pup). Audrey couldn't get enough of Shelby...she just wanted to hold her and play with her all the time!


The Whole Fam after Sunday dinner (minus Jarad who had to stay up north and work)

Since Jarad didn't get to go down for the weekend, we all got together during the week in Denver. We all went to the Denver Musuem of Nature & Science since it was free Wednesday.


There was a man dressed as a dinosaur and Audrey wanted to get near him but not touch him or have him touch her. She thought he was real and although she was excited about it she was also a little bit scared. Hence why she is clinging to Jarad.


Jar & I in the museum.


Audrey just loved the dinosaurs! She even found one her size!


The CA-Fam- David, Melanie, Audrey & Jordan


After a few exhibits, Nana, Papa & Audrey took a rest and snack break.


Jordan snuggled up to Auntie Lindsey cause he was getting so sleepy!


The Museum had a great view of the Denver skyline and the big park in the middle of the city as well.


Mom found these "ears"...I think we all almost wet our pants laughing at/with her!


Audrey even got to ride a baby laama!

After the museum, we headed over to the White Fence Farm, a diner/dive my parents saw on Diners, Dives & Drive-Ins. And it was actually really good! It was a fun place too. It had a cute shop, some picture things, a playground with treehouse, and a bunch of other things! We need to go back and experience the whole sha-bang!


Of course, Jar & I had to pose for a photo. :)


David & Jordan digging up some bark.

Lucky for all of us, Mom & Dad had agreed to spend their 31st wedding anniversary with their WHOLE family! So of course we had to celebrate in style. After dinner, we had the server bring a cake, balloons and even a sparkler! They also sang Happy Anniversary to them.

We also persuaded them to do a wedding cake feeding.


They also got a free romantical carriage ride which of course they had to take Princess Audrey on! :) She was so cute, she even did a little princess wave!


Jarad & Princess Audrey- she was a little pre-occupied by the balloon.


Jarad & Jordan-aren't they just the cutest?! I just wanna pinch their cheeks!

I love that my whole family got to be together and that we got to do some fun things together. I can't wait till Christmas when we are all together again!
