Plains Conservation Center

Well it only took 3 years of living here, but we finally made it over to the Plains Conservation Center.
Walking to feed the cows


Matthew just wanted to hand the hay to daddy, he didn't want to get too close to the cows.


So happy!


Playing in the yurt (that's right, I said yurt). They had some learning stations that focused on frogs.

A little of this, a little of that

The ward campout was a few weeks ago. It was a very nice time as far as camping goes. The only thing I really don't like is sleeping on the ground, but everything else was nice.
The campground was a big baseball field. There was a little playground that Matthew spent almost all of his time on.

Everyone eating breakfast.

Some of the tents.

Two weekends ago my cousin Michelle was married in the Denver temple. My family was able to come out and it was such a great weekend. I didn't take many pictures, but as always we had a great time.

Matthew was running around while we were waiting for the happy couple and he wanted me to take a picture of him running-


Yay the temple! They have been redoing the fountain; hopefully the next time we go it will be all completed.

We planted flowers back in May with our ward. Here is Matthew sitting in front of the area we helped plant.

Last weekend we kept things close to home and camped in our backyard in our new tent. It's very nice and Brian made a great choice. The next day we went on a family bike ride to Old School, ran a couple of errands and enjoyed a laid back day together.


A few days after the Rockies game Matthew wanted to throw the ball like he saw the pitchers throwing it.

Adams Falls

We went up to the condo this weekend and went hiking at Adams Falls. This was Matthew's first official hike; he has been on others, but was carried. It was lots of fun and I hope we can do more soon!


Here Brian is trying to re-enact a picture we took seven years ago on our honeymoon. However the water is much higher than it was the last time we were there

Matthew loved these hiking poles. Even the park ranger commented on them.
