I’m an Aunt!
Last Friday the 27th at 4:02PM my brother and sister-in-law had their first baby, a baby girl. Johanna Sue weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and everyone was healthy and doing well. My parents and I got to see her when she was just a few hours old. The kids haven’t met her yet but hopefully…
Birthday Hike….
For my birthday I wanted to go on a family hike. Not a bad idea if my birthday was sometime between April and October….but it’s not, it’s at the end of December. And sometimes in Colorado the end of December can feel like April….but not this year. We have had one of the coldest Decembers…

It started out well. I surprised the kids and Clint with matching jammies. Leighton and Caedmon had matching jammies when…
Denver Nutcracker…
