Lipstick
We went to Latara Duell's graduation party and the cake was a hit with Emma! That's frosting on my girl, not make-up!

Happy Mother's Day!
We enjoyed a nice lunch with my parents and Grandma Kate covered the coffee table so we could color all over it!

Good Idea...
When there's no room in your van for your motorcycle and extra tires, just strap 'em on the top and sides!

Who goes to Aspen for free?
Well, we got to! A man we never met had some time shares in Aspen and wanted to bless pastors and their families with a 5 day, 4 night stay in the new Grand Hyatt in Aspen. We were so blessed to be able to go and had a wonderful time!
Walking around Aspen...I guess people like to go skiing up there!
On our last night there, Aimee surprised me with a birthday cake! YUM! FYI, my birthday was Saturday!
The family...notice Emma, not really happy...that's a 2yr old for you!
Walking with the Dokes family downtown...
A view of our room...we had the three balconies at the top!
Our little mermaids...loved the warm pool!
A mountian we came upon while driving into Aspen...is that Aspen? We don't know, it's just pretty! All of Colorado is beautiful, especially the mountains, especially this time of year!
What a blessing! -Rose

Virginia Is For Lovers
Desi, being the most wonderful husband that he is, has let me for the past two pregnancies to get away before the baby is born. Two years ago I flew to Crescent City, CA (on the northern coast) to see Dori, a long time friend of mine. Since then she moved back home to Virginia (Chesapeake). I was gone May 2-5th for my first trip to the East coast. I was blown away by how green and lush and watery it all is....really beautiful and very different than Denver! Here are my favorite pics from the 50 or so I took.
This is a 13 mile bridge that dives down under the water to become a tunnel...to let the big ships pass by I guess!
I arrived Tuesday evening, so Wed was our first day together and we decided to drive to Colonial Williamsburg (45min away). Dori remembers going there as a kid on a field trip. This is the Govenor's Palace, which we got a tour of. The entry way had hundreds, yes hundreds of swords and rifles lining the walls. Our tour guide was full of interesting information...most of which I had totally forgotton, if I ever even learned it in the first place!
On Thursday morning we went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, which I absolutely LOVED! Situated adjacent to the Norfolk airport, the gardens cover 155 acres. The azaleas were in full bloom as well as pleanty of other beautiful plants.
This is the Enchanted Forest, my favorite part of the gardens. We took a beautiful, shaded .08m walk through the forest.
After the gardens, we had a wonderful seafood lunch and then made our way to Virginia Beach. They enforce a strict code of conduct there, so we made sure to watch our mouths!
A view of the coast. I stuck my feet in the Atlantic Ocean! The beach was really clean and pretty with a long boardwalk to sit or walk along and a separate bike path. 2-6 seater bikes were avaliable for rent and most hotels had crusiers for their guests to use. It was odd to not see the sun set into the water. Growing up in Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa, CA, I was used to beautiful watery sunsets and in Virginia you get beautiful watery sunrises!
Thank you Desi my love for this trip! Thank you Jan for coming to Denver to help Desi with the kids while I was gone! And thank you Dori for a most wonderful get-away. I had such a wonderful, peaceful time with you and I miss you already!
Love, Rose
