Denys and Shantelle's Wedding!

We had a wonderful time being a part of Denys and Shantelle's wedding. It was beautiful! Denys is Jonathan's youngest brother. The boys did quite well, a little crying at the beginning but they went down the aisle with Grandpa Mayles and looked adorable.

Here is Noah before the wedding with his hands in his pockets... so cute I'm speechless!
Look at Caleb's little foot tapping!! These pictures are just cute beyond words...
Here is Grandpa Mayles picking them up after they walked down the aisle and got the "big trucks" from Daddy... really little trucks actually. But then Noah started crying and wanted both and then wanted me, so my mom stuck to our plan and quickly took him out of the sancuary. I didn't want them to steal the show! :) Caleb sat with Grandpa Mayles the whole time and never said a word.

Fun times around the Wedding

We had such an amazing time getting to see family and friends during the wedding festivities! Everyone flew into Denver, so we were able to show Jonathan's Dad's family our house and hang out for awhile. Grandpa Mayles and Aunt Lynn were playing ping pong well!

Jonathan and the boys wore their USA jerseys to support the US in the World Cup, but unfortunately it didn't help...

Great Uncle Andrew pushing the boys at the same time while sitting down himself! Amazing!

Grandpa Brian overseeing his new sweet truck for the boys... Noah got extremely attached and I think missed almost 3 meals because he would cry histerically when he had to leave it!

What a sweet picture... for 3 hours we could have taken the same exact picture...

Grandpa Mayles recieving his painting... I'm so thankful he has a perfect place for it!

I'm showing Grandpa Mayles the necklace he gave me that was Ann's. It is a beautiful turquoise turtle... I love it!

Noah playing with his 'second cousin' Patrick... or is it 'cousin once removed'?

Caleb and Uncle Andrew

Man they look identical in this picture! Even their hair!! They were so serious with this sprinkler

Noah would say, "Maa Ma!...Maa Ma!" with a straight face and aim it right at me :)

So serious and adorable! This is Caleb :)

The boys wanted to go on a walk and it was a great idea. It was a nice evening stroll...

Noah and a big happy smile

The post wedding slumber!!! They brought the last relative to the airport and stopped by... they were trying so hard to stay awake too :)

MAROON BELLS VACATION!!

Right after Jonathan finished his intern year we went on a backpacking trip to Maroon Bells, Colorado. It is just near Aspen. My mom was so nice to watch the boys for us, it was a much needed vacation!! We had a wonderful time!

I quickly realized I was not in as good of shape as I thought! Definitely not like I used to be, this pack was outrageously heavy!
Jonathan's was even heavier than mine!!


Jonathan found an amazing campsite while I sat down a little bit. You could see these waterfalls from our tent!
We had to cross this log to get to our campsite. I let Jonathan take my bag across for me :)
We grilled brats each night... they were so good!!

The campfires we made were sweet! Very hard to start which made it that much more rewarding.

This porcupine came around both nights and even tried to get in our tent one night! We had never seen one in the woods, it was crazy!!

We took a walk just up from our campsite and found this amazing waterfall. It was spectacular!!

These rocks were sketchy, but we made it.

We finally made up it Willow pass! You can see willow lake down on the right...
