Golden's Farmers Market

The City of Golden has a farmer's market in the summer every Saturday. We went the last weekend of June and had an awesome time. The market itself isn't anything too fabulous, especially if you've been to Boulder's market - which happens every Saturday as well. The great thing about Golden is they provide free horse drawn carriage rides and the driver is an old friend of mine, Nina. Nina used to board her draft horses at my Grandma's property in Golden for many years until my Grandma sold her land. It was so fun to see her and take a ride.

The kiddos really loved the ride through an older neighborhood in Golden.

Nina and her Carriage

She has two carriages running on Saturdays. The line can be pretty long at times but definitely worth the wait.

All smiles!

Except for one......

Two out of three ain't bad!

Not quite what I expected...

Chloe's prayer wall

Her Sunday School class prays for different missionaries throughout the year and today Chloe came home with a picture of Bobbie Stratman. When I told her that I knew Bobbie, shock registered on her face. My brother, Ryan, lived with that family for a few years and we consider Bobbie a good friend. Chloe prayed tonight for safety for Bobbie while she delivers Bibles.

Estes Park - 2011

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy - Psalm 137:5

I am reminded again this morning how important it is for us to continue to pray for Israel, the Jewish people and our nation's leader.

Babies don't perform on command... when will I learn?

Easter 2011

I love, love, love my baby boy's smile. He scrunches up his face real good and let's you know he sees you with that camera.

My sweet babes smiling for me and looking so dapper in their Easter best.

Yep, Micah is smiling again outside the church.

So adorable!

Elijah likes to clip his tie on his sweater vest instead of his shirt. It is way more comfortable that way.

Chloe picked this dress out for Easter over 6 months ago. She is a girl with incredible taste.

Chloe took a picture of her father and I. She did a great job.

He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
