Road Trip! Beautiful Durango

Jake and I have been in absolute awe of Durango's beauty for years. We talk about how peaceful Grandma's house is, and how we look forward to each time we get to sit on their deck and watch the birds. On our way home from our Army Reserve Duty trip to Colorado, we stopped in for a visit...

Although over a year has past since my last post, as you can see, my growing children still hold our hands...and I can't stop taking pictures of it.

Next to the park was a fun creek. Conner thought it was perfect for throwing rocks.

Grace thought it was perfect for showing everyone her ballerina (or cheerleader) moves.

Also, Great Grandma took the kids on a pinecone hunt. They each carried their bags proudly. It was super cute - and a wonderful memory for the kids.

And again with the moves...

OK, so I know you probably want to see smiling happy faces...but sometimes the real life moments are even better. My Grace is such a sweetheart. So full of life. So fun. So beautiful. And lately, so hard to put down or a nap. So the poor girl gets very very tired...and sometimes that leads to a time out. Bet even still...how cute is she?!

Would it be ok if i took a minute and showed a couple...or a bunch...of the pictures of Gianna taken in Grandma's yard? :) Please help me decide which shot is best. And by the way, she took her first steps during our Colorado trip (YES - SHE WAS 9 MONTHS OLD!)

All in all, it was a lovely time. Hopefully we can visit again soon. Love you, G & G!
