Memorial Day Weekend

I know that this is just a few days late, but I didn't use my own camera all last weekend and so my pictures were coming from other people. So, here is your update now! :)

The weekend was just busy. I enjoyed everything that I did, but I joked with my co-workers on Tuesday morning that I needed to come back to work just so I could relax! Ha! ;) On Saturday, Monique & I headed to Chugwater for preps. It was a good, fun day, and I enjoyed seeing everyone and helping out! That night, Shawna M. and Anna & Melissa B. came to visit us and have supper with me, Monique & Julie! Then, Anna & Mel stayed at Monique's for the night and Shawna stayed at her brother's and on Sunday after meeting we all had lunch together! Here is a picture of us (Julie wasn't there for lunch). Good times, I tell ya...good times! :)
After lunch, Anna, Mel & Shawna headed back to Chug and I headed down south to go to a friend's baby shower. Oh, what a wonderful day! Here is the lovely little family, Kimber, Kyle & Willow (this pic is courtesy of Kimber's mom):
And this is adorable Willow!!! Isn't she just precious!!! :)

And this is Ms. Haley, Willow's cousin, who was at the party, too. She hadn't been up for very long from her nap when she decided to try on one of the grown-up's shoes. It was hilarious! She's too cute! :)
After that, Julie (who was at the baby shower, as well) and I stayed with Kimber & Kyle and we headed to the Bolder Boulder race with them the next day because Kyle and their friend, Anna, were going to run it! It was a bit rainy and cool that day, but all in all, it was a fun event! We didn't stick around for long because of the weather, but that was okay, too, since I was up at 4 a.m. and we were on the road by 5:30!! Leaving early let me get in a good nap! :) A picture of the stadium where the runners finish at...the next day someone said that there was a record 53,000 participants! Isn't that amazing!?!
Me, Kimber, Willow (who is happily and warmly tucked into Kimber's jacket! She was wrapped up in a sling!), Anna, and Julie
The runners! Kyle & Anna -- Yay for them!! :)

All in all, it was a very busy weekend. I got home from Boulder around 3 p.m. and then I hit the road at 4:15 to head over to Cheyenne to spend the evening with some friends. By the time I got back home that night, I was tired. But, I'm glad for all the memories!! :)

Thank you for this post, Jen. It was fun to see first hand pictures of little Willow. She is such a cutie. It was a treat to see you at Chug last Saturday. Linda

You definitely had a busy weekend! Jeremy Grant, and I just stayed home and relaxed...well, Saturday Jeremy had to work most of the day but we were all able to relax on Sunday and Monday! I would love to see you again sometime, I probably won't be heading to WI until we're back from FL - the end of Oct. So...I think you should come visit us in Tampa!! :-)
