Mother's Day and Birthday

My first Mother's Day was a good day. We spent the weekend in Denver at my mom's house. My family had the annual Mother's Day/Birthday Party for JP and I. It was a gorgeous day so we had a Bar-B-Que and cheesecake for dessert. Malachi let Grandma watch him for about an hour before he noticed mom and dad were gone and then only cried for five minutes. He is getting a lot better with other people. He really likes kids though. His one year old niece and him just stand and stare at each other, it's really cute. Overall it was a great day.


My Birthday was last Thursday and Chris was able to get the day off. I was a beautiful sunny day so we planned a hiking trip to the Crags in Divide, CO. Chris had hiked it a couple of times growing up and just wanted to get away from our regular hiking trails. It was amazing. About half the trail still had a couple feet of snow left over from our "huge" snow storms that hit in April. It was so much fun. It took about 4 hours all together including a stop at the top for lunch. Malachi did great too. He talked to us all the way up and slept all the way back down.

Then we had dinner at Red Robin, our favorite, and Chris took me to Mardell's, a Christian supply store. I got three new books and a CD. Chris spoiled me. Overall Mother's Day and my birthday were so much fun and I am so thankful for my beautiful family and being able to spend it with them.
