TJ's Family came to visit!

TJ's family came to visit us for a few days. It was a lot of fun to have them come to Denver. They are our first out of town visitors since we have moved to Denver. We took them to a Rockies game, one of our favorite things to do in the summer. We all got Rockies shirts, except for Collin who is the rebel and went with the Yankees. The Rockies played the Cleveland Indians and won! It was a fun game and the weather was absolutely perfect.


Everyone all dressed up in their Rockies gear except for Collin who always has to be different! We sat in our favorite spot, right field, in hopes that we would get a ball, but no luck this time. It was still a lot of fun.

We also had to make a stop at Elich Gardens, the amusement park here in Denver. TJ was way excited for this day. All the Gray kids rode the rides and Lisa and me watched. For some crazy reason they wont let a pregnant woman on the rides! It was still fun watching them on the rides and watching the other people walk by.

Waiting in line for a ride while enjoying the misters. It was a pretty hot day so they were glad to get a little refreshment.


This was a crazy ride. Its called the Half Pike and you ride a skateboard up the half pike while the circle you are siting in spins around! It looked like fun and TJ said he really enjoyed it.

The non riders. I told TJ that he had to make sure I had a cold drink in hand at all times since he got to ride all the rides. He is such a good husband and did so. Thanks love!
The last day they were here we took them to the Downtown Aquarium. We enjoy the Aquarium a lot. It is a pretty good one for being located in a land locked state.
This is TJ's favorite part of the Aquarium - the Tigers. It was a little sad this time because only one was out and it wasn't as active as last time. It is still a sight to see - tigers at the Aquarium!?
These last two pictures are of the Octopus. They were really cool looking so I thought I would include them.
We had a great time with TJ's family. Thanks for coming and visiting. We invite anyone else that wants to come for a visit to come!

Week In Utah!

T J and I went over to Utah June 11-15. We went over because TJ's Uncle Doug and Aunt Wendy were sealed in the Jordan River Temple! We were so excited to be able to go and be part of the big day. TJ was a witness to the Sealing. It was a great reason to go to Utah. We also made time to have some fun while we were there. Wednesday we went to Boondocks, a family fun center. We played a couple of rounds of miniature golf, where I was the first to hit a hole in one! And I must add that I had two and TJ had one! I only say that because he is so much better at golf than I could ever be. We took his little brother Collin with us. They had a great time together. Then Thursday was the sealing. That night we went to dinner with Brian and Debbie down in Provo. It was a lot of fun to visit with them. Friday we didn't do much of anything. TJ went golfing! He loves any time he can go because he doesn't get to go as often as he used to go. Saturday Mel, Kim, and Nancy had a baby shower for me and our little girl! It was a great party. I need to get the pictures from Aunt Nancy because I forgot my camera so no picture of that on the post. I get more and more excited for our new arrival to come each time I get something for her. So I was way excited on Saturday. Thanks to everyone that came and celebrated with us. That night we went to the Bees game. The Bees are the Minor League baseball team in Salt Lake. We were lucky enough to go on a night they had FIREWORKS! Then Sunday we went up to West Canyon for a Father's Day picnic. TJ got pretty wet as he tried to cross the stream and fell in! It was a great week! Family is always nice to get to visit! We love our family very much!

Red Rocks

Since we moved to Colorado, almost a year ago!, we have been trying to take advantage of all the beautiful places Colorado has to offer. This weekend we went with some friends to Red Rocks. Red Rocks is so close to the city, but there are no traces of city life there. It was so nice to be in nature on such a great day. We hiked around the park and enjoyed a shady picnic. This is a place I recommend for anyone who comes to visit us, which we hope some people do!

Just to put a plug in for the baby count...I am 24 almost 25 weeks in this picture.
Our friends the Braziers, Drew, Shayna, and Brooklyn. Thanks for a great time guys!
This is the amphitheater they have at Red Rocks. They have concerts and movies here all summer. Hopefully we will get to enjoy one of the two sometime.

I love my husband!

Kim and David's Wedding

Kim and David got married on May 24, 2008. It was a beautiful day that we were able to be a part of. I have to say that her dress was absolutely beautiful. I'm glad to see my big sister Happy! Welcome to the family David!


So Payton is so adorable. He was the ring bearer. We practiced the night before and he knew what he needed to do, but when the day came, I had to pry a cookie out of his hands before he would walk down the isle. He wanted to finish it before he went down the isle so I had to convince him that he could get it back out of his pocket when he reached Dad. He did a great job and looked so handsome doing so. I sure miss living so close to the little guy. He sure can put a smile on any ones face.
I showed this picture to the ladies at work and they were shocked at how much I look like Kim. I do not see this. I guess because I grew up with her and she has red hair and is taller than me I don't see the similarities.
