Grandma & Grandpa Johnson and the Girls visit Colorado

I am embarrassingly behind on this blog! Matt's grandparents and sisters came to see us over Memorial Day. Here are some pictures of our fun week!

They arrived on Sunday so we hung out at our apartment while the girls opened their graduation gifts.


All of the girls got to see and feel the baby kick!


Matt and Nicole hiked the entire Incline on Monday because Matt was done working mid-morning. They seemed to enjoy themselves. And they made it to the top!


This is the view looking back down the incline on their way up.


Back at the bottom after the long trek. This one cracks me up!


Monday night we me up with Tim & Louisa and their darling son, William at the Elephant Bar. Grandma loved holding this little guy.


Later in the week we met Uncle Jerry for dinner in Manitou Springs.




Grandma trying to look pregnant...ha ha!


The famous "heart" pose. Such good aunties they will be!




The girls thoroughly excited about their soda pop finds. They were pretty tasty!


On Friday, I took off and the girls and I went on a hike on Spruce Mountain Trail.


Afterward, we had ice cream at this delightful shop.


Then, Nicole and I decided to be rebels.


Saturday, we all went to Territory Days in Old Colorado City. Here we are at the hotel before heading out.


Me modeling ridiculous shades I got for free at Motherhood Maternity. The girls looking good in there shades :)


At Territory Days.




We lost Grandma for about an hour at this packed event. I have never been so happy to see somebody in my life!


Yummy pizza after our long day!


Sunday morning photo shoot after church. Aren't these two cute?











Short walk before lunch. Isn't the view amazing?


Grandma made this blanket for the first grandchild. Isn't it nice? Courtney is working on her for it to not be the only blanket she makes! Every grandchild should have one!


Agia Sophia's! This is a cute little coffee shop/bookstore in Old Colorado City. Nicole's favorite place on earth.




Saying our goodbyes on Monday morning.



Nicole wanted a picture of her Pikes Peak, Indiana t-shirt with Pikes Peak, Colorado! Thanks for coming Granmda & Grandpa and Nicole & Courtney! We had a great time!

Mt. Cutler

Matt and I went on a hike the 3rd weekend of May (the 15th). We did one that was not too strenuous for my growing body yet still a good workout! We hiked Mt. Cutler on the south side of Colorado Springs.


On the way up!









Almost there.




This is the Seven Falls. You can barely see it in the distance. This hike had views of Seven Falls, Pikes Peak, The Broadmoor and nice view of the entire city. Unfortunately, I can never capture these views very well on camera.




At the top! It was SO windy up there.


The baby and I made it!


When we got back to the Springs after hiking, we picked up our Grand Prix at Andy's house. Andy and Lauren are another couple from our church. Andy details cars on the weekends...and he does an AWESOME job! Check it out:



Also, Matt wanted Dad W. to see the Grand Prix with the window tinting. Matt finally talked me into it when we had a really hot day in April. I thought a cooler car in the summer when I was pregnant might just be worth it! He caught me in a weak moment. :) But I'm glad now that we got them done!

Congregational Care Day

The second weekend of May, our small group participated in Woodmen Valley Chapel's Congregational Care Day. This is where volunteers help the elderly in the community with some yard work. We had the pleasure of going to dear ladies home. She is 92 years of age and lives on her own. She is sharp as can be!


My job was to entertain her while the others did the yard work. You really get off easy when you are pregnant! She was entertaining to me though, actually.


Here is the front of her home with all of the bags of brush the group cut down and cleared out.


Chatting with the boys. She LOVED to talk!


And her with the group.
