I Heart Faces

I was looking at my weekly blogs and I came across this link to

The theme is "At the beach"All you photography lovers should check it out!
For my entry I decided to enter the picture that I took of Tristan at the beach in Florida. This was the first time he sat on the sand and let the water run over his legs. As you can tell by the expression on his face, he didn't enjoy it very much. But I thought it was a really cute picture!

4-H Fair

So Jake, Tristan and myself went to the fair last night..we were originally going to watch Morgan ride her horse but she ended up not doing that. So we grabbed some yummy fair food!! Mmmm...taco salad! We also got a funnel cake and some cotton candy! Yum! :) Then we headed around to every animal barn there was to show Tristan all the cute animals..we even got to see some baby pigs being born! It was a cool experience. I guess she had 13 all together! Anyways here are some pictures of last night! Enjoy!

Trying some strawberry smoothie!

Mama pig and her babies!

Tristan really liked the tractors

He liked the bunnies too!



I thought this goat was really cute! I love the floppy ears.

Oh and I have an interview today with JCP Portraits!!! Wish me luck!

Trip to Colorado

We had so much fun on our trip to Colorado!!!! It was a very long drive but it was worth it! We weren't sure where we were actually going at first..I don't think we really decided until we were in Colorado. Our trip was very random, but in a good way! :) We first went to Rifle Falls National Park..which was way back in the boonies..took forever to get there plus we had no cell phone service. When we finally got there, there was only one spot left. and it happened to be a handicap spot, so they couldn't promise it for another night. We missed the part in our book that said reservations recommended..oops! They only had 12 spots available. So the next day we headed for Grand Mesa National Forest! This was a much nicer campground. It was 10,000ft above sea lvl..so it was really hard to breathe up there. We did only stay here for one night as well. It got to the 40s at night so we were really cold. Going 3 days without showering is gross...so we decided to head to Grand Junction and get a hotel room! We went to The Winery to eat. The calamari was delicious! Best ever!! Then we got a bottle of wine! That was good too! Our dinner was awesome! Would recommend that place to anyone that goes to Grand Junction, but they are a little pricey. Anyways, the next day we went a dinosaur museum and to 1 1/2 mile hike through the desert..and only saw 3 different dino fossils..it was a tough hike but fun! Then we decided to drive to Denver that afternoon. Once we arrived, we went to the Aquarium. It was an awesome aquarium!

So anyways here are some of the pictures from our trip! There are a lot more on facebook!

Welcome to Colorado!!! Finally!
Beautiful mountains!

First beautiful sunset!

These waterfalls were at Rifle Falls State Park


Our second campsite in Grand Mesa National Forest-Ward Lake

These flowers were very pretty!

Me and Jake

We ate at The Winery- best food ever!
This was the coolest part on our desert hike


Think this was a dino vertebrae, but it looks like a fish to me.

We went to the Aquarium in downtown Denver, CO-so awesome!

This was the telephone museum from the movie Yes Man!

Off to Colorado!

Happy 2yr Anniversary to us today!!!!! We went out to lunch today at Olive Garden! Yum! B/c Jake had to work from 2 to 8, so we decided to do lunch! Then he came home with 2 flowers and a card for me! Our real present to each other is our camping trip to Colorado!

So tomorrow if going to be a busy day!! I can't even think straight..I am starting the day off at 7:30am..and then leaving to take Tristan to Grandma Sarah's house around 8am. Thanks Mom for keeping him a couple days while we are gone! :) Then come all the way back home to take the dogs to the boarders..I need to get my oil changed after I drop them off..then as soon as Jake gets home around 2pm we are heading to Colorado to go camping for our Anniversary present to each other!!! We are so excited!!! We don't exactly know where we are going yet but it should be lots of fun!!! Yeah! :) We will be going camping, mountain biking (should be interesting), I want to do some horse back riding, and lots of photographs to be taken of course!!! I will post pictures of our trip when we get back! Just wanted to update everyone on what's going on in our lives at the moment, well the few people that read my blog at least..haha
