Newest Member of the Newton Family

Carter Jay Newton is finally here! Tina and Terrance (Chris' sister and brother-in-law) our proud parents of a new buddle of joy, a baby boy! He entered the world on Friday September 14th at 11:15am, weighing 8 lbs, 13 ounces, and was 21 inches long. Congratulations to the new parents and Chris and I can't wait to meet him in person! :-)

Aspen/Snowmass Jazz Festival

Wow! So this last weekend rocked! Chris, Leah, Lopey and I had ourselves a weekend full of live music up in the mountains and it was awesome! We rented a condo in Snowmass for the weekend and bought two day passes to the Jazz Festival that included The Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule. The weather and scenery was absolutely beautiful, we couldn't have asked for anything better. The condo was right on the edge of a run so we were able to watch hikers and bikers on their way down the mountain. The view has got to be incredible during the ski season as well. When we weren't at the show we made our own music in the condo since the boys brought their guitars. On our way home we stopped at Maroon Bells to stretch our legs and to take some pictures. The Maroon Lake was so clear that you could see everything laying under the surface, it made me thirsty actually. We took lots of pictures and I will post them soon.

Go Broncos!!

Ok, so I understand that it is only pre-season but it's on like donkey kong! Bring us some football!! I am officially ready for this year's Bronco football season, Chris and I went shopping this weekend and we purchased a "Bailey" jersey to match Chris' (but in my size) so we can be twinzies! ;-) Ha ha!! Anyway, not much more to say except to watch the Bronco game tonight. Click on the link provided for your very own Bronco game schedule and all other Bronco needs, http://www.denverbroncos.com/.


Go Broncos!!

Everyone else is doing it...

So I've been reading a few of these blogs for friends and family over the past couple of years and I thought to myself "hmm, what a good idea, but the question is will I keep up with it on a regular basis?" Well, we will just have to see and I promise to try my best.

Chris and I really don't have much to fill everyone in on at this point. As you all already know Chris and I recently got engaged to be married so we have been busy starting the plans for our wedding on June 6th 2008. There are so many things you have to do to plan a wedding, but so far it has been fun and I can't wait for the big day when Chris and I start a new chapter in our lives and I become Ann Bailey. :-)

Chris and I went to MO a couple weeks ago and stayed with his sister Tina, his brother-in-law Terrance and their little cutie, Crysta (Chris' niece). We were in MO for both Tina's birthday and for her baby shower (they have a little boy on the way - he will be here to meet everyone in about four weeks). It was such a fun and relaxing week out there and boy was it humid (makes you miss Colorado's dry weather after one day). We are hoping to make a second trip out there after the little one is born to see the family again with their newest little addition.

On the way to MO we stopped by the "OZ" Museum in Kansas to see Dorothy and Toto
