Hike to Helen Hunt Falls

Two Saturdays ago, we decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful Colorado summer weather. We'd been wanting to go camping again this year, but being six month pregnant, I said it was out of the question. I am a wimp, I know. We settled instead for going on a short hike up Helen Hunt Falls. We hiked there when Lucy was a baby and loved it. This time, we hiked to the very top. Lucy hiked the whole way up and down! What a good little hiker she is. She fell and scraped her knee a little bit, but a kiss from mom and a band-aid when we got back to the visitor's center was enough to console her.

 Lucy had fun throwing rocks in the water.

 Me and my babies at the top of the waterfall. I am the luckiest Mommy ever!

 Eating our picnic lunch. Lucy wanted pizza for lunch because she remembered eating pizza at the last picnic we had. Good thing I had a few slices leftover from the frozen pizza I cooked the night before!

"Mee-mee Mouse"

Great Grandma sent Lucy a surprise...Her very own Lucy-sized "Mee-Mee Mouse." When Lucy opened the box and saw her surprise, she got so excited. She immediately hugged Minnie Mouse, gave her a kiss, and said "My best friend." Lucy has been sleeping with Minnie Mouse and has taken her with us while we ran errands. Thanks Grandma!

Our Little Valentine

 
This Valentines Day was special. I felt so amazingly blessed to have my Prince Charming and my little Valentine by my side. They are truly my life.

Lucy and I went to play group on the Friday before Valentines Day and decorated sugar cookies. 

Christmas

Christmas was wonderful! Angela's family came from Idaho Falls on Christmas Eve and stayed for a week. We were all spoiled, especially Lucy! She had so much fun with her grandparents and Uncle Bub.

 Lucy loved pouring the sprinkles. Check out how many she dumped on the cookies.

 Oops! Some frosting got on her finger, so she had to lick it off.

 Santa came! He brought her a sled, the game Candyland, and a Princess keyboard.

 Lucy liked pulling goodies out of her stocking.

 One of her favorite presents was the FurReal kitty from Uncle Bub.
