Kicking off the Summer with my "girls"

The majestic mountains of Colorado were the backdrop of these breathtaking pictures and a

  girlfriend only excursion.

Kelly Lineback, Tanya Huntsman, Grace (21) and Suzanna (14) Amy Stephenson, ME, Mary Ellen Naylor  

The weekend was not only relaxing, but very productive. We talked, laughed, ate, walked, shopped, played games and had some powerful moments of inspiration together! We Mom’s can solve MANY problems you know! 

This group of women is so wonderful and I look to them as mentors, friends, and sisters in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are connected by so much, but most importantly, we KNOW we are daughters of God and can inherit many blessings by honoring him and his church on the earth. We know we also are expected to serve our families and fellow-men and I am pretty sure that I speak for all of us, that we are ready to “conquer” the world after being bonded for 4 days!

We traveled to and stayed at Kelly’s 3-bedroom condo in the mountainous town of Keystone Colorado. She owns this property and travels to it many times to ski and relax from her busy schedule as a Kansas dentist.

My "Therapy" Sisters!

(notice Kelly's new skirt--Ann Taylor outlet--so HOT)

During our shopping "outlet" excursions, the fashioneesta in us blossomed as we advised on "What Not to Wear" to our fellow sisters.  I also purchased Father’s Day gifts and I got Hunter some very inexpensive shirts. (a little productivity during a vacation! GO ME!)  He really enjoys Aeropostle shirts and they look good on him. He will get good use of them at the upcoming Youth Conference and EFY! More girl time for him!

Elder Andrew Naylor, Mary Ellen's son, is serving his LDS church mission near this region--Patagonia.

We took this picture and Mary Ellen sent it to her son. She also purchased some items with the region's name on them for her husband and son.

Traveling to the Denver airport via the Continental Divide was a perfect ending to this excursion. We were surprised to see avid skiers on the slops in JUNE! Many SHIRTLESS! The parking lot of the resort was filled with smoke and the aroma of barbecue! TAILGATING while skiing! I have seen it all!

My sister, Tanya, joined us for the weekend from her home in Windsor, Colorado. 

....Bring on SUMMER!!!!!!!!!! 


I AM READY!
