First Bath

At just a few days old, Roman is featured here getting his first bath. He did not like it one bit. He doesn't cry through the whole experience now so that's nice. :)

Sweet Little Expressions

Here are some cute photo ops from two months ago. I'm quite the slow blogger. All the clothes featured in the following pics are no longer even close to fitting Roman. I need to get on the blogging ball.

Roman is about 2 weeks in this picture. It's almost a smile.


This is definitely not almost a smile. Thought I absolutely love this picture. (I'm not sure a mom is suppose to love a picture of her baby crying).



Big yawn for such a little boy!

Denver Trip

Denver Zoo action. It was HOT!!!! And I don't mean that in a sexy way, it was sun blistering hot!

The Denver Aquarium. This was a really neat place to go see, and the dinner was delicious!

Fourth of July!

Mikey sittin by the camp fire in the morning. We went camping for one night up above the ranch in Silt.

Bennet was having way too much fun taking pictures in the truck, we must have taken 15 pictures, having bennet look and laugh at every one after.

Mike and Grandpa Walters getting ready to set forms for the porch at Chris and Jen's "new" pad.

Prego on a tractor helping haul hay. :) Don't let the work fool you, I was having a blast!

2007 Mining Tour!

Seriously forever ago we went to see the Sommerset mines above Paonia. The pictures are way fun.

Above we have Mike, Joey, Me (not pregnant), and 1/2 of Phoebe (not pregnant) We had to take a safety course and learn how to use the respirators in case of a mine emergency.


The tour was absolutely amazing, you wouldn't believe how neat it was to be down there and learn how they mine. We were all so glad that Rick took us.
The above picture has Barry, Mike, Joe, Me and Phoebe in our white garb, and then Rick our guide. For those of you who don't know Rick he is Mike's uncle.
