Colorado!

My sweet boy gave me some of my favorite candy and a tender letter for Mother's day.

We went to Colorado for Janelle's farewell last weekend. It was so fun! The drive is gorgeous. It was hard to say goodbye to Janelle. She is an amazing friend and example. She is going to be an awesome missionary. We will miss her, but we're excited to hear from her while she is in the mission field.

Janelle and meErin came down for the weekend too. It was fun for the three of us to be together one last time.

Janelle and her brother.

We were also able to visit David's mission (North Denver). It was so fun to meet some of the families. The pictures above and below are the Taylor family. They told me I have married the most wonderful man in the world. I guess they really like him. They are a wonderful family. I felt comfortable in their home as soon as we walked through the door.
This is the Siders family. cute kids!

We went shooting on Janelle's family property. It was freezing, but we had a great time. This is David nonchalantly holding a 44 magnum in his hand. He definitely used both hands to shoot it. It has some serious kick.

So, David got a little close to the scope. Janelle's dad felt so bad that he let this happen. It really wasn't a big deal. David's hoping it leaves a scar though.

  1. It looks like you had so, so much fun in Colorado. David's gun scar looks pretty mean- youchy! I loved the picture of the 2 of you with the house in the background - such cutie-pies.

  6. MOTHER'S Day treats? Is that an announcement?!!

    ...just like a Beus to want a huge scar on his face! Colson wants me to make sure David is okay. Colson will probably lose a little sleep over this until he knows his favoite uncle is okay, so maybe phone call is in order.

    Oh, and cute jeans in Colorado Molly!
