On Thursday, my Grandma and second cousin, Jamie, came to visit for Jamie's Grandma's funeral and of course to see baby Mia and spend time together. We spent a lot of time relaxing and talking which was well needed for all of us. (Don't mind the squinty eyes...it was super bright outside.)

Mia and Great Grandma
Four generations minus my mom.

Joe's friend and old roommate, Nick, also came to visit last weekend. It was great to catch up and he and Joe had a great time together.

Joe and Nick all ready to go White Water Rafting (this picture makes me laugh so hard!)

Nick and Joe at Red Rocks. Apparently, they took turns trying to test their strength by carrying each other up the steps. I'm just glad they made in home in one piece!
On July 3rd, we went to a concert and firework show in a park downtown with our young marrieds group. It was so nice to be baby free and enjoy the beautiful evening with our friends.
Hillary, Laura and I. (Hillary and Laura are due to have their babies any day now.)
Friends,
fireworks,
lights,
and music...what a perfect night!
On the 4th of July, Joe, Mia and I went to the Rocky Mountain National Park to enjoy the beautiful state we live in.
We saw lots and lots of elk.
I can't believe this is just an hour from our house.
The most amazing spotting of the day...big horn sheep on the side of the road.

Mia and I at the top of the mountain.
Us.
Here are some more pictures from my family's visit last week...
Mia in her new pool.
Swimming.

We all (except Joe) went to Elitch Gardens when my family was here. Mia hung out with Grandpa Nick most of the time while the rest of us went on rides.

My Mom, Nick, Cody and Colton went to the Rocky Mountain National Park while they were visiting. Mia and I didn't tagalong since I wasn't feeling well.

Joe creating a Diet Coke and Mentos Geyser! Fun times.

Joe, Mike (Joe's brother), Nick (my step-dad) Cody and Colton (my brothers) all went to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb while my family was in town. They had a lot of fun watching all types of vehicles race to the top of Pikes Peak, which is a little over 14,000 feet high. They got to witness the fastest car that broke a record and saw a few scary accidents. All on all, they had a really fun time and I think this is something that Joe will want to attend every year going forward.
This is the car that beat the old record.

That is some serious lean.
