On the way out to Denver we stopped at Winter Quarters in Omaha
Shortly after we got to Denver Grandma and Grandpa Gibson came out to see their grandbaby and said, "Mindy and Tyler are just a bonus." (Or something to that effect!)
Tyler took care of Brooklyn at night while I went to work.
Usually, when I got home from work in the morning, I would stay up with Brooklyn until she went down for a nap. People have asked how I stayed awake. Well... let's just say, I loved my Cherry Pepsi and Dr. Pepper!
Our friends babysat once a week for half the summer. Brooklyn loved playing with Lydia.
Tyler got to go to a Rockies game and watch it from a suite!
We got to go out to Utah for the Forth of July and have a big family party with my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandma
Brooklyn liked the fireworks... as long as she was watching from inside the house!After our Fourth of July Party we headed out to Bear Lake for a Woodworth family reunion. Unfortunatly we forgot our camera and don't have any pictures of that outing, but we had a blast! Brooklyn and I played out on the beach with the cousins and Grandma & Grandpa. Tyler spent most of his time out on the lake on the wave runners.
Four Generations Pictures
Tyler and I didn't have a lot of time to see what Denver had to offer. My family came out to see us again and we were able to go to the Denver Zoo. Brooklyn was more interested in all the kids that were walking around than the animals, but we still had fun. As you can see, she was spoiled and never sat in the stroller the whole time we were there!
Tyler also went to an amusement park with my brother and sister. They had fun, but didn't get me any pictures!
Brooklyn had her first Birthday right before we left. She wouldn't get all into her cake like most kids do. She was being very dainty and wouldn't eat it until I gave her a spoon!
She got lots of new toys to play with. (We were hoping they would occupy her for the road trip back to Michigan!) Take a look at the middle picture. She got a pair of car keys and was just amazed when she found out they came out of the box! She sat there with that face the whole time I was getting them out.
Grandma and Grandpa Woodworth came out to say good-by and to help us get all packed up and out the door. I am SO glad they did. We wouldn't have been able to do it without you. THANK YOU!!
That is our summer in a nutshell. We were glad to be closer to family and happy to see them as much as we did, but we are happy to be back in Michigan- back to our apartment with all of our stuff.

Wow you guys were busy! I can't believe how big Brooklyn is getting! I love she wouldn't eat her cake! That's so funny! I hope things are calming down and you are enjoying being home again!
THANK YOU...i have been dying to see this blog updated. I just can't get enough of cute little Brooklyn.
Love the picture with her opening her keys. She's adorable.
It was so fun to hang out with the Woodworths this summer. Can't wait to see again soon.
Looks like you had an eventful summmer. The picture of Brooklyn's amazement over the keys is priceless. She sure looks like she had fun with Grandma & Grandpa Woodworth. Looks like Grandpa Woodworth knows the little piggie rhyme (I always forget the middle). Sure miss y'all!
Sounds like you guys had a busy but fun summer. I agree that it's nice to get home after a summer of living so temporary. I was looking at your pictures, did you guys rent furniture from Aaron's because your couch and chairs look just like the ones we rented from Aarons? We loved renting furniture, it would have be a very long summer if we had not. I hope that you guys enjoy your last two years of law school.
Yes...FINALLY! I wish I was at the party. It really is awful we missed you by a few days! Welcome back to Michigan!
