Gymnastics Day One

My baby had her first official gymnastics class tonight. As I watched her, I was so proud of her and my heart tightened seeing her growing up before my very eyes. Thank you Lord for this beautiful girl who you have placed in my life. I am so grateful I listened to Your voice and did not give up during those years of doubt.

Olympics 2020 here we come! hehe! :)

Lots of Hiking!

We have been escaping the heat the past few weekends and heading up north.(to Lauren's dismay, "up north" was not the "north pole", we got to the trail and she said, where is Santa Clause!") :) These are a few pics of our Humphrey's Peak hike last weekend.

A quiet home is not always a good thing.... :)

Reese Boy

Our hike was just awesome yesterday, however, I forgot my camera, so no pic's! So, I thought I would put a post out for something pretty fun and meaningful my mom is doing! Lauren loves going to visit gramma's house and especially loves her dogs, Oreo and Reese. Well, Reese has been nominated for the Cavalier Idol contest and just made it to round 2! Reese was just rescued by my mom this year and he is loving his new family & home. After years of being a foster mom to many, many children. My mom is now a foster parent for the rescue and just has a heart of gold!

Go Reese!

If you'd like to vote for Reese go to www.cavalierrescueusa.org and vote for #619!

Reese asked us to explain that if he were to win one of the prizes, he already has plenty of toys. Reese says he would donate the money back to one of his friends still in Rescue. Probably one of the special needs Cavaliers like Charlie in CA or Stella Patella in CO. He thought it was important you know his motive for entering this wonderful contest.

Artist's at Work

Lauren and her dear friend Kailahni had so much fun painting together this week! We have displayed Lauren's work on our fridge. I was at work during this art session, however Lauren told me all about what inspired her for this particular piece. :)

Thank you Mary for putting such a nice playdate together for Lauren!

As a side note, I survived my first week at my new position. I'm glad for a slow wake up today and the Davenport's are now heading up north for a nice long hike. I will post pic's later, have a great weekend!!
