While in Denver we had the opportunity to do some hiking with Uncle Martin and with Faelyn's Oma, Christi.

Always hydrate!

In the beginning of July we went to both Denver and Wyoming to get some relatives to see Faelyn again as well as some to meet her for the first time.

Faelyn turned two on June 26th. Below is just an idea of all the friends and fun we had celebrating that wonderful day.

A nice summer chair from Fuzzy and Erica.



A castle from Mommy! (she now knows "King" and "Queen.")



Her first car from daddy...it won't be the last.










A new keyboard from Aunt Ali...(no volume control on this one!)







Some cake


And some time with her best friend Mia.

One of Faelyn's early Birthday gifts was a gardening set from her G ma. She loves it and like to use the monkey watering can day and night...even inside!

Her Grand mama helps her plant lettuce.

June was also a great month to go to the lake...and Faelyn still loves it!

Enjoy some wonderful shots of Faelyn in the water and on the beach.


















Thanks to all! Next up- her first experience with planting, her 2nd Birthday and stats.

June was quite a full month for us. There were a lot of amazing adventures for Faelyn and she was joined by her cousin Miranda who stayed with us...she is still asking "Where DaDa (Miranda) go?"
