Text of the page (random words):
t girl we made it to the top of the peaks where we all took pictures at the continental divide the view was beautiful on the way home we took a different route that led is through the town of south park while stopping to get hot chocolate we couldn t pass up this photo op day 4 day 4 was the big day shanam tim laura and alan set out to climb the tallest mountain in colorado mt elbert this was one of the main reasons laura came we have the goal of climbing all the state highpoints i think this was her fourth or fifth and shanam s third i really wanted to go but couldn t bare to leave mikey for the whole day while he s still breastfeeding i ll have a chance to climb it another time i woke up early with them to give them a proper send off they said the drive to the trail was gorgeous the hike climbs 4 000 feet and was pretty steep here they are at the summit 14 443 ft they all made it they had to be sure to be up and back by the time the afternoon thunderstorms came the weather was wonderful though so they got to stay at the peak for about an hour taking in the views before heading down sophie especially loved overlooking the mountains poor laura had a rough time with her knees descending the steep slopes there was also a bit of a scary adventure on the ride home while coming back through a mountain off road trail the 4runner s brakes gave out shanam had to kick it into low gear and use the e brake the whole way down so scary we were able to meet them at the bottom and the car was towed back to town to be repaired what a day the three mountain men celebrated their victory with ice cream day 5 since we had to bring laura to the denver airport that night we decided to make a day of it and visit boulder during the afternoon this is where we eventually want to raise our family so i was really excited to be able to explore the town they have a fabulous waldorf school there and we were able to set up a tour thanks to ellen the campus is so beautiful and the little classrooms were magical i hope we get to boulder in time for annabelle to attend kindergarten there we met up with some friends for dinner at a fabulous vietnamese restaurant then made our way to the airport after exploring some neighborhoods once again laura captured the brilliant light of the sun day 6 what better way to enjoy the beautiful mountain air than on a boat the ride was nice and relaxing hence both kids fell asleep two minutes after leaving the dock and our surroundings were breathtaking shanam preferred to get his fill of mountain air by mountain biking with the dogs he wore them out but they loved it after getting back we took a little family outing with grantim and granellen we found a beautiful green lush hike this was probably my favorite time of the whole trip we weren t rushed so we could stop and explore whenever annabelle wanted to she and shanam gathered quite the collection of bark and pine needles the smells of the forest were invigorating and the weather was absolutely perfect all felt right in the world day 7 time for another hike the whole group came on this one two of the guys had actually lived in a little teepee for almost a year in the area we hiked around crazy we saw where the teepee used to be and where their outhouse still is we also heard lots of fun stories about back in the day we stopped and had lunch in a beautiful little clearing it must have been too slow for shanam though because the next thing i knew he was bushwhacking it up to the peak in front of us crazy thing is that it only took him 20 minutes to reach the peak since that wasn t enough of an adventure for him we decided to take a shortcut home through several mountain passes we loaded up the car and away we went the views were some of the most beautiful views i had ever seen the trail was pretty crazy in some parts but shanam showed his skill and got us all down the mountain safely what was supposed to be a shortcut though turned into a 3 hour trip i can t even tell you how happy i was when we finally made it onto smooth ground again we made it home in time for us to get ready for our date shanam had made reservations for us at a french restaurant called le petit paris and i was beyond excited we enjoyed an incredible 2 hour full course meal and came home to two peacefully sleeping babies thank you tim and ellen what a treat the food and service were excellent and when we get a chance to go back to breckenridge we will definitely make a point to eat there again day 8 before saying good bye to granellen and grantim we spent some time walking around main street such a cute little mountain town we ate lunch at an organic cafe that had been there for 25 years then hit the road we drove to santa fe and stayed the night before finishing the trip the following day phew what a week we loved every second posted by bethany at 7 35 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday june 7 2012 fun in the sun this is by far the cutest little laugh i ever did hear posted by bethany at 1 50 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday june 1 2012 camping in ruidoso other than the birth of michael visit his blog for details on that adventure our first adventure of the year was over memorial day weekend the weather was forcasted to be in the 100 s here at home and shanam really didn t want to stay for the three day weekend so early on in the week he passed the idea by me of going to the mountains sure mikey was only 4 weeks old sure i was still healing from birthing a baby a month ago sure we now had a very mobile toddler but how could i say no to the mountains and more importantly how could i say no to my loving husband who works so hard to provide so much for our family despite all the reasons that could have kept us home it turned out quite well we had to end our trip early but it wasn t because of any of those reasons we arrived saturday afternoon and immediately set up our new 8 person tent it was awesome we had to get a couple shots from each angle just to relish how much space we had we had one room with annabelle s pack n play and our air mattress and the other room held all of our stuff it was amazing to actually be able to stand up inside can you tell i m happy to be out of our 3 person tent after we set up we broke out the snacks per the little one s request and just sat and enjoyed our surroundings i just love the smell of pine trees annabelle had a blast exploring the wonders of a tent and absolutely loved her little space in the pack n play camping was a whole new experience for her this year because she actually new what was going on mikey did great as well for his first time camping as long as he has mommy s milk and a warm place to sleep he s a happy camper literally the fun began during the first night the kids went down just fine however the wind picked up big time as i was laying in bed i could hear when a gust of wind was coming i would first hear it rushing through the tree tops then the force would hit our tent so hard and make the loudest sound as our rain flap beat against the tent and our poles groaned and creaked each time a gust hit i pictured the whole tent falling down on top of us amazingly everyone else slept through it just fine it was only the worried mother hen that got about two hours of sleep it didn t help that there was a raging party going on outside our tent from about midnight to 3 am that kept annabelle up oy what a night the next day was just as windy we left our tent that morning and prayed it would still be there when we returned for breakfast we met up with some friends at our favorite restaurant log cabin restaurant and then went on a beautiful hike by our campsite annabelle loved watching the dogs run around beneath her and mikey of course slept through the whole thing it was so wonderful to be able to get out and hike in the mountains my pace was like a snail s and the hike was more like a leisurely stroll through the woods but i ve got to start somewhere i didn t want to push myself too hard and get mastitis or something the kids were all asleep when we returned to our still standing tent so we put everyone down for a nap including myself while shanam cooked us up some lunch over the fire a little while later while we were awake and hiding in the tent from the wind a huge gust came and actually broke one of our poles entirely in half i was able to catch the tent above me and yell to shanam to come help he was able to rig it back up but that was it for our camping adventure i was not about to go through another sleepless night in a now broken tent we packed everything up and headed home what a trip even though it was short we were glad we did it posted by bethany at 7 55 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday march 30 2012 how i met love utah trip part 3 saturday june 14 2008 we started the day off right by going to the salt lake temple then touring the conference center it was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed spending time together ever grateful for the great blessings that god continued to place our lives that evening we met up with a few of my good friends and their husbands dates and my brother drew red robin was bre and my s favorite restaurant because of their steak fries so it was a no brainer as to where we would all meet up bre was excited to meet shanam for the first time and i was excited to see that she had asked mark to be her date for the evening she and mark had been good friends for about a year and had just returned from a cruise with all of their friends by the way she talked about their trip i new there was a romantic interest and i was glad to be a part of their first real date it was so great to get together with everyone and for them to meet shanam i felt like each time i introduced him to someone that was important in my life my attraction and love for him grew this evening was no different after dinner we split off from the group and bre mark and drew came with us to the bowling alley for a little friendly competition drew challenged shanam to a race if shanam won he could keep dating me he won thank goodness bre always brings out a goofy side of my personality and i loved that i could completely let go and not be afraid of what shanam would think of me he not only liked it but he joined right in making the night enjoyable for everyone most importantly i got the two thumbs up from my best friend she loved him posted by bethany at 7 13 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday march 29 2012 how i met love utah trip part 2 friday june 13 2008 thanks to shanam s meeting i was able to skip out on skiing that day he still went skiing early that morning but then went straight over to his new friend s office and spent a couple hours with him i had told shanam to call me as soon as he was on his way home hey hun i m done but i can t really chat he said i ll see you in a little bit and i ll tell you all about it oh okay i ll see you soon i was a little disappointed but he sounded preoccupied so i just let it go and focused on getting ready for that evening he and his family were coming over to meet my family and not just my immediate family since i wasn t able to make it home to visit very often the whole extended family was invited to come over for dinner this included my grandmother my aunt and uncle with their four kids and my other aunt and uncle with their three kids it was going to be quite the get together i was hoping shanam would come over early so i could get some alone time with him but he showed up with his parents at the same time my whole family was arriving this didn t really give us a chance to talk at all and i was starting to feel a little disconnected i could tell something was on his mind the minute he arrived but both families were very engaged in introducing themselves and getting to know one another shanam and i were of course the main attraction so it wasn t until about an hour later that i was finally able to pull him aside hey you i said smiling as we walked outside to the patio holding hands hey hun he said pulling me in for a tight hug that wasn t so bad eh i told you my parents would like you how do you know they like me already oh please first of all how could they not like you and second it s a good sign when you and my dad already feel comfortable bantering back and forth i laughed so tell me about your morning i ve been waiting all day to hear about it well skiing was great of course and the meeting went really really well he paused for a second and then said something i was almost expecting to hear they offered me a job a job wow i wasn t really sure what to say next because in that moment all of the implications and possibilities and unknowns bombarded my mind i didn t get a chance to say anything though because one of my younger brothers flung open the porch door and shouted for us love birds to come in for dinner we managed to make it through dinner but the weight of what was just revealed was so heavy that it was hard for me to focus on anything else there were so many questions i wanted to ask was he thinking of taking the job does that mean he s moving to utah what will he be doing is this a risk worth taking what does this mean for our relationship what part do i play in this decision we d only been dating a month do i even have a part in this decision when dinner was over the party moved outdoors onto the lawn where we set up chairs and pillows in a circle it was fun to be with my family and to see our two families interact but all i wanted to do was talk to shanam i could tell he felt the same way because he kept looking at me and giving my hand a comforting squeeze as if to tell me everything would be alright and we would talk through it soon i appreciated that and was able to relax a little and enjoy the evening breeze as we all chatted with each other my aunt jamie was moving around the circle giving each person a shoulder massage and didn t even think about stopping when she got to shanam and his parents that make me laugh a little inside and i was grateful our families already felt so comfortable with each other the evening turned out to be a great success after everyone left shanam turned to me and said how about we go for a walk that sounds like a great idea i said sighing a breath of relief the sun had set already leaving behind a breathtaking sunset and the warm summer air smelled of freshly cut grass we decided to walk along the path by the water canal that ran behind my house i started the conversation with so a job eh i figured i d let him tell me what was on his mind first ya pretty crazy huh he squeezed my hand they want me to be part of their business development team it sounds like the perfect opportunity to see how a successful start up business runs i get to learn from another c...
