Solitude hike!

We went for a hike up to Lake Solitude, it was beautiful! The wildflowers were out and the weather was perfect! Will also got to ride the chair lift, which he thought was pretty cool!

Will's first pony ride!

I took Will to Thanksgiving Point not thinking that he would want to hop right on a pony, but to my shock he did just that. We watched the pony's take kids on one ride and that was it...he had to try it! He picked out the horse he wanted to ride, his name was Sugarbay, very cute and one of the larger ponies. I put him on that pony and I swear it was like he had been riding ponies his whole life. He held on to the saddle and grinned from ear to ear! He loved it, so of course we had to ride them again...and it had to be Sugarbay that he rode. I was SO proud of him, I think I was grinning just as much as he was. I wanted to tell everyone..."check out my son.....he's riding a pony.....ya first time, he's a natural!!!" I was oozing with pride! Will also loved the goats, the bunnies and the donkey! I was bummed Mike wasn't there with me to see his boy ride a pony, next time dad's for sure coming! And I swear Will was smiling, but apparently I didn't catch any on camera.

My family! Nothing brings me more joy than having my family close to me and knowing that we are all happy and healthy!

Traveling with my family! Mike and I love to travel together. We've taken so many wonderful vacations together and I can't wait for more! Plus its always so much fun to show Will new places and let enjoy the whole traveling experience! He's a great traveler by the way!

Seeing Will with Mike...makes my heart burst with joy! I have these moments all the time when I see them together. My heart swells up and I occasionally burst into tears!

Happy 2nd Birthday Will!

Will's birthday was great! We had a family party and Will got a ton of toys! And of course, he loved his birthday cake! We just can't believe its been two years!!!! Where has the time gone?

Avalanche Creek

We had our first family camping trip this last weekend and it couldn't have gone better. We were a little worried that Will would have a hard time adjusting to tent life....boy were we wrong. He loved it! Will was able to see some great wildlife, we hiked and also went swimming at a local hot spring! We met some good friends from Denver and Des Moines at a beautiful campground called Avalanche Creek in Colorado. We had a great time while we were there but were excited to get back home to running water and our beds!

Will Originals

As you can tell, Will had a blast painting! I wasn't so excited about the clean-up but it was definitely worth it! I have my very own Will Buckley originals!
