Today was Kirstyn’s first day of High School! She was SO excited to jump right in, have fun, and start learning a ton! She was a little nervous as everyone is the first day of school, but when she came home, she was really excited. She made some new friends and that’s great! Brittany’s first […]
Today, Dad and I took a bunch of pictures for Brittany’s senior picture portfolio. We found a great spot, although I think that right there is the ONLY spot in Colorado with mosquitoes. We had to fend them off, but got some great pics! We love you cutie! After we got done, we had to
Today we got up early and went and had breakfast Applebee’s. It was for a school music fundraiser so we thought it was a great thing to support. The students served us. 🙂 After that, we went and watched the Douglas County Fair Parade in which the girls were both marching in the band. They
Today, my mom and dad arrived from Utah! They came to watch the girls in the parade, and to enjoy some time with us! We’re excited to have them here!
Happy Birthday Angela! We hope you enjoy your day! You continue to look WAY younger than you are old! 🙂 Love you beautiful! In addition to Angela’s birthday, we had a visitor come to stay with us from Illinois! Ally Tanner (one of Brittany’s good friends) came out to visit and will be staying with
Yesterday afternoon we packed up and went on our first family camping trip in Colorado! We were very excited to get out and into nature. The place we picked is called Devil’s head and is pretty close to us. It’s MUCH better than a forest preserve with a mowed lawn! 🙂 It is a beautiful
Today was a busy day. The boys had swimming lessons (which have been going on all week) and really love them. They are quite the fish out of water. 🙂 Their teachers are having them jump off the diving boards and everything. Ben was a little nervous about that at first, but after the first
Today we had a great and relaxing time! We went to a free concert at Butterfield park (that the Meadows sponsors every year). They brought in a U2 cover band. They were really good, but didn’t play a lot of the really familiar stuff. It was a beautiful evening and with some food, camp chairs,
Today we are official Colorado residents! We went to the DMV and got our driver’s licenses! Fortunately, all we had to do was take the eye exam. We didn’t have to take the written test like we did when we first moved to Illinois. That was a relief, especially for Brittany! Zach and Ben also
Happy Pioneer Day everyone! We didn’t do anything special today… Just hung out and missed the girls who are at camp.
Today we took a trip down/up to Pike’s Peak! It’s not a very long drive from here, and you can drive all the way to the top. 🙂 Our 2nd 14er in the bag! 🙂 The view up there was really pretty and it was a great day for it! We didn’t think it was
EFY ended today and the girls were really bummed! They made a TON of new friends and absolutely loved the program! At first, they weren’t sure that they would (not being able to stay on a campus and all that goes with that), but they were proven wrong big time! Kirstyn can’t wait to do
