Stucky Bike Trip Part Two

I've got more pictures from the bike trip to Colorado. 
Here we go!

Just up the hill from Granna and Grandad's house we saw a deer in the yard while we were walking. 
She just watched us all stand and take her picture.
After a spaghetti supper...
 Beautiful views 
 Heading out on a walk...
 Wonderful Aunt Jenna came to spend time with us while we were there!
 Another Pikes Peak shot.
 The crew heading up the hill for an evening stroll.
 4 brothers. Love it.
 A fox! 
 Big smiles with Uncle Blake!
At the bottom of the mountain, we let the dogs run free in the open park area. They love to run back and forth between the guys.
 With Aunt Jenna.
 And with MeMe Debbie
 I like sky pictures. :)
Safe with Daddy
This guy knows how to have a good time!
Just a few more pictures to share from the trip.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Our 4th

I'm interrupting your regularly scheduled programing to share some pictures from our 4th of July. 
(More Stucky Bike Trip pictures to come later.)

Our sweet friends Vance and Danni and their girl Remi invited us to their house for a BBQ and fireworks. We had such a good time enjoying good food, great conversation, and fun fireworks.

We started early, while it was still light out, so we didn't have to be up tooooo late. I think we timed it just right---late enough to enjoy the special night, but not too late to be overtired. Ha!

You'll also notice that most of the pictures are of people(Makenah--haha). I think fireworks are neat, but I don't necessarily look forward to them all year. I don't love the really loud ones. I also like the simple and boring ones, (Bryan calls them the girly ones) like smoke balls and fountains.

We did get to watch around the neighborhood and see lots of big ones. Makenah thought the fireworks were great! She wasn't afraid of the noise at all. Once she figured out that they flew up in sky, she would throw her head way back and look up. So funny. 

We saw a bunny in the yard. He came close several times. Do you see him?
I think these are cool. Call me lame. 
 Makenah and Bryan walked around a lot. She was very busy all evening.
 Watching the fireworks in the street. 
 Danni and Remi--both so sweet.
She just sat down there to munch and watch.
 The stash. 
Bryan said this was the girliest batch of fireworks he had ever bought. I am not surprised. I remember what he used to buy. He did a good job for us girls. 
We enjoyed watching the small, pretty stuff and then we watched others do the big things later . 
It was a great night!
Thanks for having us Vance and Danni!!

Stucky Bike Trip 2011

We recently returned from the annual summer trip to Colorado. Bryan, his dad, grandad and 3 brothers all got to enjoy some dirt bike and 4 wheeling time in the mountains. During the day, the girls got to relax, walk through the neighborhood, shop, and spend time together. In the past the guys have camped out, and so we have missed having them around for several days. This year, with plans to dirt bike, and with a burn ban in place, we were lucky to have them join us back at his grandparents house in Woodland Park each night. It was FUN being together. 

Bryan's grandparents live in a beautiful house in Woodland Park. They are such great hosts, and we have fun all staying together at their house. We also got to see my sister, Jenna, who lives in Colorado Springs on Saturday. We were so glad to see her!

Some pictures from the trip...
The view of Pikes Peak from the house.
Each of the vehicles arriving back from the first day of riding...
Dirty bikes. :)
And, dirty guys.
More pictures to come.
Consider this Part One!
