Scrap Mania!

My mom and I went to Archiver's and worked on many different things. I had a great time...she had an awesome time too!

Being Dorks in the Canyon!

These are the hardest shots for me, I don't know why? I'm always looking cheesy!

Angie in William's Canyon.

As much as she is afraid of heights she sure likes to climb up the rocks. That is Cave of the Winds in the background. This was another fun day with Angie in Colorado.

Hiking in Williams Canyon.

This is one of my favorite hikes in Colorado. It is slowly uphill all the way, a great workout.

A play....

Angie, Gina, Baby Ben and I went to the theater. I will have to say I expected there to be more than one person doing all the acting. Needless to say we left during intermission.

Parvancini

Enjoying an amazing dinner at Parvancini in Old Colorado City. Our necks are a little sore.

I can do this...

Reverend Goat finding my center and getting ready to inflict pain.

Does she look scared?

Sinister Tattoo is where it all happens. It is such a tough decision, what should I get put on my body forever?

Trying new activities..

Angie and I went to stamp camp on Saturday morning and made some really cool projects.

We took a little rest at a beautiful point along the trail. Garden of the Gods is in the far background.

Playing in Red Rock Canyon

As much rock climbing you will see out of me.

Our psychic reading...

We went to Celebrations in Old Colorado city and each had our own personal psychic reading. It was very interesting.

This is what we do in Colorado....

Angie got a tattoo while she was here. It is a symbol for "luck" in Chinese. We can thank Reverend Goat for these awesome tattoos.

The latest addition to my body....

So, I also got a new tattoo. It says "family" in Korean.

What I've been doing with my time lately.....

Posin' in front of the picture opportunity spot near the pony rides at the Harvest Festival. You can see Maggie is coming to join me on the hay! A fun day with the Franklunds.

A new baby brother...

This is classic! Scott gave Ian the frozen bottle of Soju from Korea, maybe this will help with a new baby brother around.

Hanging out with the Foss's and new Baby Ben...this is why I have a job! Thanks, Gina! :)

The finish line....

Singing to us along the way....

There were bands set up around the Garden of the Gods playing great music, cheering us on. You know how much I love music...this helped me tons!

Who could ask for more?

They know me so well. Angie and Keri had all my favorite treats waiting for me when I got to the hotel! I love you girls!!
