Playing in Denver

September 20, 2007

Melene and Mama smiling pretty for the camera.


Jon, Katie, & Emma Lee laughing as we were
having way too much fun with the water fountain.

I just thought this was a beautiful picture

of Melene watching the water.

Jon, Katie, Emma Lee, Melene, & I after dinner,

I really wanted a buffalo burger so they were kind

enough to take me to the best place, though that night

we would all agree we did not have the best service.

Melene looking so big and grown up eating a snack

while watching some tv waiting for mama to finish

getting ready for the day.

The girls outing to the Denver Zoo!

Melene, Mama, Bridget, Aspen, & Meg with

two twin girls she Nannies: Zoey & Nina!

Melene loved the monkeys the best,

especially these ones. She kept squirming

to get down and would crawl over to watch

the monkey's some more!

Watching the penguins both Melene and Aspen

seemed to enjoy watching them swim.

Mama and Melene watching the monkeys!

Aspen loved pushing Melene in the stroller and

for not even being 2 years old she was a

trooper walking most of the day.

Denver Rockies Baseball Game


Melene clapping at her first Rockies game!
We had a great time just her and I, even though
the Rockies didn't win. We had a blast.

We did end of leaving early as it was getting close
to bedtime and we still had to get back to Aurora
to John & Katies!

Melene having a ball watching the game!
It looks like the guy in the background
is too, Wheweee!

Michael Dean having a ball vacuuming.
If only they would continue helping
with the chores when they get older.

Melene & Michael playing in the sink at Grandma's.

As you can see Michael got a little wet.

Happy Birthday Melene from Denver

The Butterfly Pavilion

Denver, CO

September 14, 2007Bridget, Aspen, Alaine, & Melene all had a
wonderful time at the Pavilion. The girls were so cute.

Aspen looking at a butterfly, it was one of the

only times she was really interested in the butterflies.

Melene wasn't so interested in watching Mama
hold Rosie the tarantula and well.........
I think my facial expression says it all!

Aspen had more fun pushing Melene in the
stroller then anything. She is just getting
ready to be a great big sister.

Happy 1st Birthday Melene!
Bridget & Aspen met Melene and I for dinner
at the Macaroni Grill near Colorado Mills.
The Girls seemed to have fun getting to know

one another, it was just precious.

Melene celebrating her 1st Birthday

with a bowl of ice cream and chocolate, she

loves her sweets just like her mama.

September 9, 2007Melene and I met one of my dearest

friends while on vacation in Utah:

It was so good to see you and meet your family:)
