Isaac went to Safari camp this year. It was a ton of fun. He even took his first trip to the zoo on a school bus all by himself.

2010-12-05T21:16:00.000-08:00

Colorado beauty!!!!

Two days before Ella was born we took my Grandpa up trail ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park. I was hoping it would make me go into labor.

Visiting with the Michigan Family.

2010-11-28T14:24:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Brian.

2010-11-28T14:18:00.000-08:00

This was how I stayed cool in Michigan. Being 8 months pregnant and in the heat without air conditioning almost did me in. Thank goodness for the Gitters lake.
Isaac's first fish!

Fishing on the boat.

Always up for driving the boat.

Kevin and Andi McClure were nice enough to let us stay with them for a night. The boys loved getting to go for a ride in the green ATV car.

Meeting up with Caden. The boys were re-arranging the shelves in the dog store.

On our way to Michigan we had to stop here. I had never heard of the place but it was a fun stop for sure.

2010-11-24T08:12:00.000-08:00

Isaac's first train ride! It was a steam train from 1829 and Isaac loved every minute of it. We will have to find more trains to ride.

2010-11-04T14:35:00.000-07:00

Brian took Isaac on the Alpine Slides near Mount Rushmore......they had quite the adventure and ended up crashing. I was glad I did not try it 8 1/2 months pregnant and glad Isaac and Brian were ok.

2010-11-04T14:31:00.000-07:00

We started our trip by driving to Mount Rushmore. Neither Brian or I had been there before. We had a good time and Isaac is still talking about the mountains with Presidents in them.

Had to represent my state.

2010-11-04T14:27:00.000-07:00

Between the doctor saying I had to walk every 3 hours and Isaac needing to pee, I think we stopped at least a 100 times on our way to Michigan.

2010-11-04T14:21:00.000-07:00

2010-08-16T13:18:00.000-07:00

More hiking...this time with Aunt Britta.

I discovered that I should have Isaac wear brighter clothing. As you can she he matched the surrounding to well.
A boy and his daddy!

Lunch with Aunt Britta. Peanut butter and jelly oh yeah!

Elk around the park!

2010-08-16T13:13:00.000-07:00

Hiking in May in Colorado is a interesting experience. We had snow but also shorts weather. Isaac loved it and the slipping and sliding that came along with it.

2010-08-16T13:11:00.000-07:00

Someone had some chocolate!!!

2010-08-16T13:05:00.000-07:00

Britta Graduates with a masters in Architecture from CU Denver. We were all so proud of her. I made her take so many pictures she was about ready to kill me :) I know she will be happy to have them some day.

Proud parents!

What a cute couple.

AHAHA!

See her name it's official!

Some of her good friends in the program.

2010-08-10T20:41:00.000-07:00

Isaac put Grandpa down for a nap. He even let him use his blanket and fuff.

2010-08-10T20:39:00.000-07:00

What do you think....maybe he will be a scientist.

2010-08-10T20:36:00.001-07:00

Easter 2010...He is Risen He is Risen indeeed!!!

I made Easter dinner this year after everyone went to church. It went well and no one got sick so that is always a good sign.

For my 30th birthday I wanted to go to Flordia. We were able to make the trip and get to see our wonderful friends Tom and Karen. We miss them so much now that we are in Colorado and enjoyed our time with them. Hopefully we can continue this tradition for years to come.

More Beach time.

I love this picture!

Swimming of course took up lot of our time. We have a little fish on our hands.

Strawberries in Flordia while sitting in the sun what can be better than that.

Camel ride from Uncle Tom for Isaac's birhtday.

I love these trees in Flordia I wish we could grow one in Colorado.

This March we were lucky enough to take a trip to Flordia. Doug and Betty the couple we are house sitting for live down there for the season and we were able to visit with them. Isaac loved it and we enjoyed the time to connect.

2010-04-12T16:48:00.000-07:00

I turned 30. My sister told me it was ok because I have a good job, husband and kids. Wow thanks Britta.

2010-04-12T16:46:00.002-07:00

We were so happy that Grandma Wood came to visit for 2 weeks in Feb. She not only made it for Isaac's birthday but really helped me out while I was so sick with the new little one. She was an answer to prayer.

2010-04-12T16:46:00.001-07:00

What a great picture!

2010-04-12T16:45:00.000-07:00

Isaac's 3rd birthday and the cake that Aunt Britta and Grandma Moline made for him. It was a huge hit. Isaac also got a big boy bike and many wonderful gifts from friends and family.

2010-04-12T16:39:00.000-07:00

Our trip to Chuckie Cheese! Kids love this place.

2010-04-12T16:38:00.000-07:00

I let the water out of the bathtub and Isaac started to get cold. His solution use the anti slip rug for a cover. Smart!!!

2010-04-12T16:37:00.000-07:00

Cold....Cold ....Cold

2010-04-12T16:17:00.000-07:00

The Denver Children's Museum. When Jen, Dace, and Katlin were here over Thanksgiving we met them in Denver and had a great time. We miss our good friends and Isaac missed Katlin a lot.

Brian was not to thrilled with all the dress up clothes. I told him to relax.

2010-04-12T16:16:00.000-07:00

Katlin and Isaac playing together.

Grandma Moline's Birthday

Reading with Grandpa Pete.

More reading...It never ends.

2010-04-12T16:00:00.000-07:00

What a face.

2009-11-07T20:48:00.000-08:00

Great Grandpa Pete even dressed up for the night!

Isaac's, Brian, and Kirsten's pumpkins

Happy Halloween 2009. Isaac was a spider since he is in love with the movie Charlot's Web. (the real animal one) He picked the costume out himself. He really did not like the pumpkin carving at all this year. He kept saying "what is that bad smell mom??" and would not come near us as we carved. We went to my grandparents house to carve the pumpkins and then go trick or treating. My parents and grandparents wanted to see Isaac go out since they had missed out last year. Isaac loved the trick or treating and loved to yell "trick or treat" as soon as the door was opened. In fact it was mom and dad that gave up long before Isaac did. We were out for over an hour. The only glitch of the evening was the boy dressed like a wolf. He scared Isaac and had him crying. That night we ended up praying for the wolf like only a 2 year old can:0)

2009-11-07T20:24:00.000-08:00

So 22 inches of snow in October why are we in Colorado again???? We shoveled 4 different times in a 24 hour period. Isaac loved to play in the snow and even found his car under all the snow. Luckily this is Colorado and it is suppose to be in the 70's in the coming week.

2009-11-07T20:19:00.000-08:00

While Carolyn was here we made a trip to Celestial Seasons tea company. They made us wear hair nets and of course we had to have Madsen experience the fun.

2009-11-07T20:11:00.000-08:00

We have been doing some baking lately. Isaac helped me make his first Cherry pie. My mom, Isaac, Carolyn, and I also spent some time making ghosts for my moms sales associates for halloween. We got very messy but had lots of fun. (I took a picture of the ghosts for my sister in law Lindsay so she can make them next year with the boys!)

2009-11-07T16:48:00.000-08:00

Our new house. The Lord has provided a great blessing for us through the Christensen's. They are in Florida for 7 months and have let us stay in their home while they are away. It is a beautiful home and more than we will ever be able to afford. My favorite part so far is the view out the back of this home. It looks directly on the mountains. Each day I am reminded how little we are and how big God is. What an amazing blessing.

2009-11-06T21:05:00.000-08:00

One last trip to the Cider Mill with Aunt Lindsay, Zachery, and Bryce.

2009-11-06T20:59:00.000-08:00

Bees always a part of the cider mill experience.
Doughnuts and cider what could be better??

The Cider process!

Carolyn and I went to the cider mill and took these pictures to bother Brian. He is in Colorado in seminary and loves the cider mill. It is one of his favorite fall activities to do. I would have to say that I love it too and will really miss it is Colorado.

2009-11-06T20:58:00.000-08:00

Peak a boo!!!!!

2009-11-06T20:56:00.000-08:00

Fun in the sun.

2009-11-06T20:51:00.000-08:00

Michigan State Fair! We had a good time with Katelin, Jennifer, Dace, and Grandma Wood. This is going to be the last state fair forever or so they say. We saw horse races, the miracle of life, and many many animals.

2009-11-06T20:49:00.000-08:00

Good bye for good Michigan house!
I don't know football or bicycling???? What do you think??

2009-11-06T20:47:00.000-08:00

2009-11-06T20:26:00.000-08:00

So what do you think???? Which profession will Isaac have??

2009-10-29T22:48:00.000-07:00

Blue tongue of course.
Front and center for the childrens program. Isaac knew the songs, verse, and actions. I was very impressed. This kid is not shy in front of groups.

2009-10-29T22:20:00.000-07:00

Chester the Molester! The beard is coming off yeah!!!! No one liked the beard that Brian had to grow. As soon as our Yellowstone trip was over the beard came off. This was his promise to me. YEAH!

2009-10-29T22:10:00.000-07:00

Bird house art project.

Swedish pancakes are amazing.

2009-10-29T22:07:00.000-07:00

More pictures from Yellowstone. It was a great trip and lots of fun.

2009-10-29T22:02:00.000-07:00

Isaac and Henry enjoying the view.

We really were watching our kids on this trip.

2009-10-29T22:00:00.000-07:00

What a cute little man. I loved coming down stairs one morning and finding this adorable little guy.

2009-10-29T21:58:00.000-07:00

Ok so it has been a while since I posted anything.....it is understandable if you know all that has been going on in our lives the last few months.....so here are some old and very new shots!

Great grandma Carlson.

Isaac and great grandpa Carlson.

2009-08-11T13:50:00.000-07:00

The long drive to Colorado went better than we could have expected. Isaac and spot (his dog) made the trip with little complaining. It took us 26 hours pulling the trailer.

2009-08-11T13:45:00.000-07:00

Aunt Sherry came up to visit. Isaac talks to her alot on the phone so it was fun to see her in person.

2009-08-11T13:38:00.000-07:00

Happy Fathers Day!

2009-08-11T07:13:00.000-07:00

Isaac asked Brian to take a picture of him with his helicopter. Can you tell that he loves this toy.

2009-08-11T07:09:00.000-07:00

I came down stairs one morning and this is what Isaac was dressed like. So adorable.

2009-06-17T17:31:00.000-07:00

The tulips were wonderful up on Mackinaw Island. I loved the purple and red combination. I am glad that we were able to see them because we had missed the tulip festival in Holland Michigan this year.

2009-06-17T13:50:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun on the island. I could live there for a few weeks for sure. On this Island you can not have a car so everyone has to walk, ride bikes, or take a horse and carriage.

Isaac's travel backpack! Good for lots of toys and books. He can carry it all by himself. Also you can see how his pant sag now that he does not wear diapers. I think they will last a few more months:)

2009-06-17T13:34:00.000-07:00

2009-06-15T10:57:00.000-07:00
