I haven't written much lately because we have been pretty busy. But of course I will fill everyone in! Lots to type and Lots of pictures to load.... here it goes!
In the beginning of the month of May, Nathan (Chris's Brother) Graduated from CU Boulder. It's a little over an hour away from our house. So Chris worked half day and we headed up to see him graduate.
Allie was also wrapping up the school year.She of course wasn't graduating but she is in choir and for there final performance they had the Elementary, Middle, and High School all do a performance together. It turned out really good.
The next weekend after Nathans graduation, Chris and I held him a graduation BBQ party in Boulder. Chris and I did all the cooking. It turned out really well. We made Homemade BBQ Sauce and Beans. (a friends recipe which is amazing)
The upcoming week Allie had a picnic at school for the school year ending and we had to say goodbye to our good friend Stephen who was heading off to Iraq. Please pray for his safety.

Chris and I helped work on some yard work at my parents house and Chris also fixed the ATC (3-wheeler) that had not been working for a few years now. Chris is VERY excited about it! Here are a few pictures of Allie and I planting Aspens.
We still have lots of yard work and Landscaping to finish at my parents house but Chris and I had to start cleaning up our house because my best friend Kristyn was coming to visit.(We got enough yard work done though to make the yard look good for my parents BBQ for Memorial Day weekend) Kristyn came to visit May 28-June 1. A pretty quick visit but we were able to cram a lot in those 5 days she was here.
Before Kristyn Came we tried to fix up the bathroom and her room a little. We will be doing something different for the guest bedroom and we might change the guest bathroom. But this is what we did in the few days before Kristyn's arrival so the rooms could feel a little bit homier.
The Bathroom -Before
After (It still needs some more stuff and we may change the shower curtain)
The Guest Bedroom - Before
The Bedroom- After (We did not paint in here because we are buying a new Cover and it will look totally different then what it looks like now) We wanted to just make the room feel a bit more comfy so we did a few changes for her arrival!
So we were busy for a few days fixing our house up and then Kristyn arrived! YEA!
Kristyn's Arrival
Our Childhood pastime. We always loved riding the ATC!
The day after her arrival we went to Garden of the Gods to show Kristyn what it looks like and also to have a photo shoot with Miroslav.
Waiting for Miro to show up...we thought we would have some fun!
We haven't received all the pictures yet but here are a few.
Our Model pose.... we kinda think it looks lesbo but oh well.... it will be our magazine/model pose.
We took these picture in between a rain/hail/thunder storm. We had to keep running in the car and waiting it out. But it was all worth it. Kristyn and I had a blast.
Trying to find a new pose for the both of us!
We both don't like our face expressions in this picture.... oh well!
I was teaching Kristyn how to pose and Miro took this picture of me!
The next day..... Wednesday... I took Kristyn to see where Chris worked.
That night My Mom, My Dad, Aaron and Allie came up to go to the pool. Chris's friend Stevie also joined us! We all had a blast going down the water slide and hanging out in the lazy river.
The next day.. Thursday... we headed up to Vail and Breckenridge to show Kristyn what the mountains look like in Colorado. Chris took off Thursday and Friday to spend with Kristyn. We all had such a good time in the mountains.(Stevie (Chris's friend) went along with us too)
Welcome to Vail
Ok.... so here's the funniest part of the trip. We all are walking around Vail and we walk out of a store and see this little boy pretending to be spiderman. We all have no idea where his parents are but we become very entertained by this little kid. He really believes he is spiderman. The funniest part about it was he kept walking on this window ledge and falling into the bushes and jumping up in a spiderman pose. It was freakin' hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing the rest of the day.
Spiderman
We got to meet him! After he took a picture with us he ran off super fast.
Kissin' the Prince!

Breckenridge!!!
Friday..... We wanted to take Kristyn to an Alpine slide but all of the ones in the mountains weren't open yet. So, we found one in Golden, Colorado that was open. I do not have the pictures on my camera so I will have to post them when Kristyn sends me them! After the alpine slide we all went over to Coors and took the Coor's tour!Kristyn really enjoyed and so did Chris. He had never gone. So it was a first for both of them. (I do have the pictures from Coors)
The Wall Of All Their Drinks!

Packaging!
Enjoying our free beer after the tour!
After Coors Nathan meet up with us and we headed back to our house to get ready to go out downtown Denver. We ate dinner and waited for Aaron to show up and then off we went to downtown.
During the week we were told by my Mom that a childhood friend was in town and we might be able to meet up with her. Well, it happened to work out that we could meet with her on Friday at 1:00 in the morning. So we left downtown Denver and headed to pick her up. Kristyn hasn't seen her since she was 5 and I haven't seen her since I was around 9 years old. Some of you may remember her or her family. Mallory McDonald.
Please remember these pictures were taken at like 2 am in the morning so we all don't look our best!
We all were up until like 4:30 am and we had to be up in 3 and 1/2 hours to take Kristyn to the airport. It was a very ruff Saturday waking up! Here are the last few pictures before Kristyn took off!
Well, That sums up the month of May and brings us to the beginning of June. We were very sad Kristyn had to go back home. Our house has become very lonely. But we have the end of June to look forward to when we will be in Monterey with Kristyn!
