Mary Poppins The Musical

Oh my stars....we just landed 12 hours ago. I wanted to sell our tickets but Jonathon said staying awake would help us acclimatize to Sydney's time zone. (Yawn, yawn, yawn...I'm SOOOO tired!)

The parts I didn't sleep through were magical and thoroughly entertaining. If you get the opportunity to go, you won't regret it.

24 Weeks / 6 Months

Sorry this isn't a better photo. We were refueling the rental car on our way to catch our flight back to Sydney. Trust me when I say, I didn't have this big of a smile on my face when I got on that V E R Y long flight.

Jim & Pam

We wanted to visit with Jim and Pam before we left, so we stopped by their home for "just a minute."

We were having so much, we couldn't leave. What a sweeeet family!

Red Robin with Kedra

I used to avoid Red Robin because of those darn helium tanks. I swear, I can hear a balloon being inflated from the parking lot. Fortunately for me, there were no kids with balloons in sight.

This is my treasured friend Kedra. She hasn't changed a bit in all the years we've known her. How do you do it girl?

A TOWER of to-die-for onion rings. Oh me oh my, they are scrumptious!

Even More Church Snaps

We had so much fun hanging out with friends and family after church tonight.

Jonathon's Ordination as a Pastor

Here are a few photos family took of Jonathon's ordination as a pastor.


Our pastor Eric Cartier (tall skinny guy) gave Jonathon a few minutes to speak to everyone about ministry in Australia.

I was as far away from the microphone as possible. What a chicken!

The board at Rocky Mountain Calvary laid hands and prayed for Jonathon, for us and even for baby Silas.

A hug between Jonathon and our pastor Eric.

Senor Manuels

Senor Manuels. Oh, it was SO hard not to order something with cheese and beans. I LOVE this restaurant.

Jonathon's cheese enchiladas. Mmmm, they looked delicious.

I stuck with beef fajitas for Silas' sake.

What a treat to meet the daughter of my friend Linda. Dianne is such a riot. We had the best time laughing and sharing stories through lunch.

I was sad that our date ended but so happy we made the time to see our sweet friends.

Tres Margaritas - 2

What a magnificent time with old friends.

Tres Margaritas - 1

Because we were running out of time, we posted an invitation on FaceBook for our friends to join us at Tres Margaritas for dinner. WHAT A BLAST!

Pregnancy Portraits

We took the time while we were in Colorado to have portraits taken. These two shots are my favourites.

Papa, Mama and Silas at almost six months gestation.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this snap!

Cracker Barrel with Matt & Brandi

The Cracker Barrel is a much beloved restaurant of ours. Although I couldn't order my usual meals, I managed to enjoy our brekkie thoroughly.


My blueberry pancakes are to die for!

Jonathon's eggs, bacon and spiced apples.

His brekkie comes with biscuits, gravy and grits. You'd NEVER find this meal in Australia.

We had a FABulous time with our friends Matt and Brandi at the "Crack House."

Smashburger....AGAIN

On our way to the storage unit to start our 1960 Chrysler, I convinced everyone that we NEEDED to eat at Smashburger despite the fact that I was the only one who was hungry. HA

At the Colorado Smashburger, you can get fried green chilies as a side or on top of your burger.

I LOVE AMERICA!!!

Dan and Ang

Me and Papa

Me and my brother Robbie whom I adore.

Feeding the Barnyard Animals

My mum giving Kit a treat as well.

Robbie, Dan and Jonathon

Autumn was fascinated with my belly. I guess she can either sense or smell a baby in there.

Robbie and Cupid

I hope I can get this video to display. This is my brother Robbie and Ang's pot-bellied pig Cupid. They are both too cute!

Snow on Pike's Peak

If you are so inclined, you have to double-click on this photo to appreciate the beauty here. I miss the mountains and snow SO MUCH!

Levi

This is Dan and Ang's son Levi. Poor baby...we plum tuckered him out every single night.
