Colorado Springs for Mother's Day

For Mother's Day weekend Jeff, Ali and I went to Colorado Springs to spend some time with Steve and his family before he leaves for Afghanistan. We went to the Air Force Museum (Ian really loved that) and spent lots of time together visiting, eating, Six Flags, eating, swimming at the hotel, and of course, eating. Check out Steve and Jeff in the bibs at Joe's Crab Shack! It was a lot of fun and we are so glad we got the chance to spend time with them. I helped Steve make a Mother's Day card for Brittany. Ian got to decorate it first and then we tried to trace Brinley's hands and feet for her side of the card. She was not very excited about it but it turned out really cute.

It is a scary time for me as a mom to see Steve go but we are so proud of him and all he has done. We are glad he and other soldiers are willing to serve their country and just pray that Heavenly Father will watch over and protect him and his family in the coming year.
