Proud mom moments

The last picture of the wedding...in horror I jump down to save my poor daughter! The story was that my brothers were below her, I didn't see them!

The usual 2 stooges routine but now on top of the fireplace. Cole had already tried to shove Drew's head into the fire.

Big Daddy is doing a great chaperoning job! Y'all now know why I have assistance from my parents!


Alexis has quite an arm she overshot the crowd 3 times. See the flowers in the air?






Cole proudly jumps for the bouquet, but when it comes to him he lets it fall to the ground.




Makes a mom proud when her son is in the front edging out the bride's maids for the bouquet!





I didn't take a picture of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate that we all got as a favor except in this picture with Asia, Olan and Jade.

The best part of being Photographer is that Big Daddy had to watch the kids. When I first showed up to the Pavillon, I kept seeing the boys in the distance and then they would disappear. I was thinkin' life is good...it was only because Stooge 1 had shoved Stooge 2 into the river and had big smudges on the White and Linen pants! B. Daddy and Olan were wondering why I had picked out those pants for them, I really thought they were old enough. Good thing they will be wearing black/brown to their weddings.

Flying W Ranch
























I showed up at 6:50 got a few pictures before dinner started. The grounds are gorgeous, but due to the weather we had to eat inside. We had a huge day and left 30 minutes before the show ended.




Pikes peak and bust...


My gang plus missy Z.




The Hollified 4








After I registered Drew we headed for Pikes peak. At the half way point we took these pictures and then repacking into the car....I dropped my camera a first! And it no longer took pictures. After Garden of the Gods, I dropped them off at Flying W ranch and headed to Wolfcamera. Since I was going to be the photographer at heritage camp and I was asked to do Tanner's wedding, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy a new one. Even though I could get the camera cheeper online, Wolf set it up while I waited and I was able to hit the road picture taking!

Celestial Tea tour

Dress out of tea bags


The original art for the tea boxes.


































Cole thought he looked the best in the hair net!

This is such a great tour to go on and I love their shop and art. Last time I had to stay back and hang with Asia and missy Z because they weren't 5 yet. So, this was the first time I got to go to the mint room.

Chautaqua for lunch

The dining hall








The kids and the flatirons

















Being a travel agent, it is kind of funny that I never travel my own state. Sad, the concept of because it is always there. The funny thing is that the 4 years I lived in Boulder when I went to CU, I never went to Chautaqua...I can't believe I never did this! It is such an amazing place, awesome hiking, gorgeous gardens and the dining hall had great food. I did take Stephanine Kinney here for a hike when Jade was 18 months! The original plan was to get here @ 10am for breakfast...we got here at 12:30, good thing they have breakfast on the menu until 2pm. The Hollifields had an exhausting travel day, Cheryl delivered 2 1/2 babies(she had to leave halfway during the last delivery to make the flight).
