Break Dance

Isaiah and Colton were feeling the music. Here they are taking over the dance floor.

A Piece Of Heaven

I woke up this morning with such a full heart; filled to the brim with memories from an absolutely enchanting afternoon and evening. Ramin had the honor of marrying a dear couple from Origins yesterday-Ryan and Tracy Flanders. Tracy's parents treated all invited to an amazing experience at Castle Pines in south Denver. From beginning to end and in every detail there was purpose, beauty and meaning. From the beautiful ceremony, to truly magnificent scenery, to time with amazing friends, to a delicious meal to watching Isaiah break dance, every moment was pure joy.
Our little man looking very dapper. He made an exception on his strict "no buttons or snaps" rule just for this occasion, which made this Mama very happy (I think I should send this picture to Gymboree for their next magazine).
The Castle Pines Club is nestled in a brilliant landscape with a perfectly manicured golf course (this picture is for you, Dad). Isaiah and the other kids loved running up and down the rolling hills (but not on the greens, of course).
This is a view of the gorgeous veranda on the back side of the castle like venue.
Isaiah loved looking at all of the cool rocks in the fire feature (the fire wasn't lit until dusk, if you're worried). He would pick out all of the most unique patterns and line them up.
The centerpieces on the tables were exquisite, as you can see. They were close to 4 feet tall and so so beautiful.

After the wedding, we relaxed on the back porch with some of our very favorite people.

And the ladies: Lisa, Sarah and me.
The wonderful Firles.
This happy face says it all.
After dinner the fire feature became a "s'more" feature and that made for many smiles.

Mountain Adventure!

A couple of weeks ago, Isaiah and I and our good friends, the Huntoons, headed up to the mountains for an overnight adventure-including a ride on the Georgetown train. It was such a great trip. Here are some pictures of our fun...
When we got to Silverthorne, we stopped at a really cool park. The boys played hard for about 2 hours. There was so much there to enjoy!
Dinner time with some of the cutest boys ever.
Ah, mountains...I need to come see you more often.
The boys spent hours on the back porch. It was pure bliss to watch them enjoying the simplicity of play in such an incredible setting.
Bath time (I have no idea why blogger is underlining this)!
Cuteness.
We read stories before bed. It was such a treat to be surrounded by the boys in such a pure and simple moment.
Enjoying breakfast alfresco.

The Georgetown train!
Isaiah and John, ready for their ride.
We'd been talking about the Georgetown train for a couple of years, so it was really fun for us to finally be riding it.
We got all kinds of beautiful views like this one. The water was rushing very quickly in the mountains.

Now, here we are riding across the trestle.

The Conductor.
I tried to get a good shot of the boys after the trip in front of the "Georgetown Loop" sign and as you can see...
...they were...
...over it.

Uncle Eli ad Parker

Last week Eli and his friend Parker stopped through Boulder on their way out to LA. We had a great time together and Isaiah loved hanging with his Uncle.
