Emery and Ike actually did pretty well together too, with Emery teaching her little cuz how to crawl.
We arrived on Nora's 3rd birthday and Steph had decorated her place with balloons and streamers in her honor, as well as baked really cool cupcake ice cream cones. (Thanks Steph - that was awesome!)
The view from Steph and Carter's backyard. Fantastic! We LOVED the cool summer weather there. Even the summer showers were a welcome change to our heat waves at home.
Steph and Carter also very graciously offered to babysit our munchkins while we explored downtown Denver together. This larger-than-life cleaning sculpture is in front of the museum of art. Although I still need to visit CO in the snowy months to be sure, we have pretty much decided that the Denver area will probably be our "settling place" in a few years. We've already got Steph there, Bri is almost certain to come back there with he CO native hubby, and if we move there, Mom and Dad may eventually follow. We'll have the majority there, so that means that's where they'll want to be, right? :) We'll see how it all works out.
After Denver, we headed for Branden's parents' home in Smithfield, Utah. Nora got to spend a week with her cousin Audrey who was visiting from New York.
We took a quick side trip to visit my sister Briana and have dinner at Gandolfo's with her cute family.
We ended the week with a birthday celebration at Grandma's with a majority of the Utah/Idaho clan joining us.
Ike with his great-Grandma Nelson. I think she is 94 this year.
Throughout our vacation of endless driving and assorted and many stresses, my husband was a champ. I love him like crazy and I am so glad he's mine forever!
