One Year Later - Aspen

After sipping great beer, great coffee, and remembering the good days of Ft. Collins, it was time to move on. Better things awaited us in the Rockies! First stop on our way up...Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park.

Unfortunately, due to the heavy snowfall they had all winter, we couldn't make it up through the pass, so we head to head back through the foothills, past the old Argo Mine...

...up to Independence Pass!

And it was way up!

We needed a quick breather after that one!

Finally in Aspen, we ate a fabulous meal, put on our slippers, and hit the hay.

Ain't life grand?

One Year Later - Ft. Collins

A year can pass incredibly fast, and we were very excited to head back to Colorado for our one year anniversary. We wanted to revisit the mountains and enjoy ourselves without all the excitement surrounding our wedding. It was all we could have asked for and more (with a bear or two thrown in for good measure!).

First, we headed to Ft. Collins, home of Colorado State University! As a CSU alumni, I was very happy and proud to show Katie around. Our first stop was the Union.

As I was showing Katie around the campus, there was road racing going on in the oval!

Then we sat down at Coopersmiths in Old Town for a beer, some food, and live music.

Although it was too late for the tour, we made one last stop...

June Trip to Florida

A trip to Florida couldn't have come at a better time. We had been suffering through a long, long winter in Illinois. So we took off for St. Pete's for Matt's best friend's wedding...

and then a quick siesta in...well...Siesta Key!

It's pretty relaxing...

And we think the Sriver's enjoyed themselves

But most of all, here, the sunsets never get old...

I Skipped Katie's Birthday!

Katie's birthday was another fun spring get together! Trust me Kelly and Tyler, we're not always watching Nascar (unless we're at the Srivers). Here we are watching the race.

Matt with the ladies watching basketball.

Strawberry Cake!

Drew loves Cars (and snacks) too! Well he came to the right place!

Dad!

Sack of Potatoes

Whose Birthday is it! Doesn't matter, Drew will help open presents!

Make a wish:)

Easter 2008

Yeah I know, it's been awhile, but why not start where we left off...Easter!

We even got candy from the Easter Bunny!

Here we are in our Easter outfits...Katie and Mandy

Me and Katie

Then it was off to Ivanhoe for a fabulous buffet...

Yep, that's a chocolate fountain!

Nana and Papa Bailey

Katie and Mckenna

After we left Nana and Papa's house, Mckenna got to lay down some fresh tracks! Why Greg has recording equipment in his house, check out http://www.gregbaileyvoiceover.com

Making up For Lost Time

It's been awhile since there's been any posts. My wife was a very diligent blogger when our blog was first born, but now...well after putting many hours in for the first few posts, she's since abandoned it altogether. So until she delves back into the world of blogging, I will take her place at the helm...and I'll also try to catch up as quick as I can...hang on!
