First Time Crawling

Jaelyn started crawling!!! Our baby is growing up so fast. On July 22, 2010 the muffin woke up and to my surprise started crawling toward (of course!!) Murphy's bone. Below are two videos of her. I have to tell you it is the cutest thing watching her crawl. She just gets on all fours, moves her little feet and takes off. (We are getting baby gates this weekend:) Enjoy!

Colorado Trip

Colorado Road Trip

Jason, Jaelyn, Murphy and I headed out for a Colorado roadtrip to visit family and sightsee new and old places! Traveling with a 9 month old and a puppy either makes us crazy or maybe we are always that way and just do not know any different! We had a blast...

First Stop: Grand Junction and Fruita, Colorado

We stopped by to see Grandpa and Grandma Ruybal in Fruita! We relaxed, visited vineyards, got a new set of tires, and played with Jaelyn!

Second Stop: Almont, Colorado and Crested Butte, Colorado
For Jason's birthday I decided to take him to his favorite river, the Taylor, and rent a cabin. Fishing: good idea! Cabin in Almont....let's just say I will NEVER stay there again! Our cabin was a dump! On the positive side, we were in beautiful Colorado and I discovered Crested Butte for the first time! Although Almont, CO will never see us again; I would go back to Crested Butte in a heartbeat! That was one of the most beautiful places in Colorado that I have ever visited!

Caddis Fly...our dumpy, stinky cabin! Ewwww!

A true fisherman's bench..."Liar's Bench!"

Jay, Murphy and Jay's "man purse." I think it is a good look for him!

Crested Butte...I love it here!

My little "mini-me!"

Awww.....Crested Butte!







Last Stop: La Jara, Colorado

Our final stop was to visit Grandpa and Grandma Lopez in La Jara! They live on a beautiful farm in the country! We had such a nice time just relaxing and hanging out!!

Dad and Jaelyn on the 4-wheel.

Great trip everyone...time to head home to Fort Collins, CO. By the time it was all said and done:

1,000 miles

4 bottles of wine

4 new tires

4 tanks of gas

2 tired babies

2 exhausted parents!!!

Lots, and lots, and lots of laundry!

First Bike Trip

Jaelyn's first bike trip started off great!

Yellow animal helmet...check!

Bike carrier...check!

Mom and dad with their bikes...check!

Then we started off and Jaelyn had no binky or bottle! So, I headed back home really quick while Jay and Jaelyn headed to the park. By the time I met up with them at the park Jaelyn was screaming and crying and would not wear her helmet! Jay walked both bikes back home and I carried Jaelyn.

20 minutes to get ready...

5 minute bike ride...

15 minute walk home...

We'll try again in a day or two!

Farm Days

July 3, 2010

Lee Martinez Farm

Jaelyn, Mom, Jamie and Devan

The four of us headed out to Jaelyn's first outing at the farm in Fort Collins. It was a beautiful, hot Saturday morning and the girls loved the animals. We saw chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, ducks, cows and horses! The goats were the most interested in the girls and ready to eat anything that came their way!

The first pictures are of Jaelyn and Devan by a creek that ran through the farm and it was so green and gorgeous out!

So cute! I love her sweet face here!
