Red Rock

We went for a drive and came to explore the Red Rock amphitheater. It was pretty amazing.  This is where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir came and sang in Denver.

We went but unfortunately we came on the wrong evening. There was a "rock" concert going on so we couldn't just walk around.  But it was still fun to go up there and drive around.

The Denver Musem of Nature and Sceince

This was such a fun adventure. I went with a friend of mine- Bree and her son. this place was huge. So much to see and Hailey loved the animals. 

 

 This was a guy dressed in black walking in and out of the building "eating" the children. It was fun to watch. I wanted to put Hailey under him but i just really don;t think she would have liked it too much.

In one section it had a bunch of these sculptures. They are made out of all the precious stones.

There was these cool dinosaur out side near the parking garage. Kind of random but yet to so cool. It reminded me just now that i forget to tell you that we also went to the Botanic Gardens.

 They were so beautiful. They had like 20 or something visiting dinosours throughout the park. So you had to go wondering around to find them and also learn about the plants that they ate. It was a wonderful adventure. We just kept thinking about our friends and how much their children would loves this and how we wish we could share this with them.

Denver Living

This is our living room. A bench and a table with one chair. Pretty cozy.

Looking out that back window we were able to see our back yard the alley where people would dumpster dive. crazy.

To the side of the living room there was two rooms. One one each side. Jason and I slept on the right side.

The only we place we could stand full height was in the center of the room.  The ceilings were vaulted right around tree feet.

Hailey's room was right across from ours. Her ceiling ctarted from the floor. Good thing she is short. But the sad thing was was that she still ran into the wall.

 

Her door drove me crazy everytime we closed it to tight it would sprinkle down sheetrock. And there was a couple of times that Hailey and i almost got stuck in her room. She would shut her door it would get stuck! when we first got there the door knobs keep coming apart. But after the first time we got stuck and i had to gimmy the door open we went and got that fixed.  But it still happened but the second time I pulled the frame a little a way from the wall...fixed.

 

The stairs. As soon as we got there and all of our stuff in we went to the store to get a baby gate.

The kitchen really was not too bad. no dishwasher or disposal and the freezer didn't work, But it was a gas stove, roomy, and there was a great window to look out while cooking.

 

Here is our wonderful bathroom. 

We had to kneel down to shower. It was pretty fuuny.

.So thats where we lived. It was fun but we are both glad it only lasted 6 weeks. We are sure glad that we are back!

Nails

Hailey let me paint her nails. It is so cute. I had to change mine so now we match! It is so cute. Every time she sees the nail polish she says " more" to paint them again. I'm so excited. She even did welll sitting still to let them dry. We'll see if that happens again. I hope so cause i love it. I can't wait until i can do her nails. But then she will be getting to old to fast. So i will wait very patiently for that one lol.

The Work and the Glory

What a good series! I just barley finished the last one tonight! Big accomplishment for me. It was so fun to read them. It only took me a year (given i was in school for most of that). So fun! Just wanted to share!

BaseBall

We went to the Rockies game with the Kotters this past weekend. It was so fun. It was a great game. High scoring one too. We were lucky though that it did not go as long as the one last night(monday 14 innings lasted until 12) I really don't think Hailey and elijah wold not have gone for that. But tey did really good.



We went all put, hot dogs and peanuts. lol. Sung the song and everything.

Bike ridding!

So we finally got eveything we need to go on bike rides. We have been having so much fun ridding our bikes. I can't wait to get back in Rexburg and Ride all over the place with Hailey in the Tralier. She loves it! It is so much more fun then pushing the stroller all around.



There is over 600 miles of bike paths around us right now. We went on one the other weekend. It was about 20 all around. There is truely a park like every mile. But following weekend after we tried the path again bu we topped it off with swimming. Along the path were we ended there was a swimming facility that was perfect our Hailey and the Kotters child. It was so fun. I got to try out my new swimsuite(so cute! and totally modest its great no worries about anything)





We have ridden around town trying out differnt parks and such. It really is fo Fun. almost every night is a perfect night. The only time i havn't said t it was raining but then agian that was still perfect. We love the weather here.

Denver Art Museum

It has been so fun. My sister and mom came down to hang out. So we went to the denver Art Museum. It was fasinating. The building it seld is something to see.


Look at all the angles. Amazing.

Places we've gone

There are so many parks, places to go and sculptures around here. It has been so fun! We have go to so many places. Like:



the Library. It's Huge! So many books and it has so many good spots to curl up and read. But with Hailey, not possible but thats okay casue we couldn't get a library card anyways.

Bowling

We bought Hailey a little bowling set. She loves it. It is so fun to play with her.

Merry-Go-Round

Hailey loves the meery-go-round. She loved it, it was the perfect ending to the zoo. There is one in Rexburg that is all horses and she get so excited!

Zoo

It has been so much fun to go aorund and do things. The first week we were here Jason didn't work so we tried to do everything. It was so much fun! We went to the zoo here. It was pretty good.



Never been so close to a tiger before.





We had so much fun here at the zoo. We watch a lot of the shows- the elephants, seals, and the play that they put on there.

This little cat can jump like 10 feet striaght into the air.

Capital

It was really neat to go. It was our first stop when we got here. There was a quilt show while we were there.

The Drive

Hailey was so good driving the 11 hours to cheyenne where we stayed the night to say hello to my parents. We stoped twice on the way. Once to eat and then once to catch up with eachother. We brought both cars. So it was Hailey and I in the 4 runner and Jason in the Mazda. The trip would have been faster but man there are so many hills. Who ever thinks Wyoming is flat---IS SO WRONG! But other wise it was great. So we didnt arrive in denver until that saturday and we have not wasted anytime. I'll have to take a video of where we are living words would just not do it justice. lol...
