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
Today was the boys first day of school at Clear Sky Elementary. It was also Ben’s first day of elementary school as a new Kindergartner! 😐 That’s the last first day of Kindergarten we’ll ever have for one of our own! 🙁 We were feeling really old today! Ben was a bit nervous to go
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
Today, I left really early from home and went and picked up the girls from camp. They had a GREAT time and absolutely loved it! The bear thing wasn’t a big deal, although one was spotted, and sleeping in tents was a lot of fun for them. Brittany was a Youth Camp Leader (YCL) this
Happy Pioneer Day everyone! We didn’t do anything special today… Just hung out and missed the girls who are at camp.
Brittany and Kirstyn left today for girl’s camp! They were a bit nervous because they had never had an experience at girl’s camp like this one would be! 🙂 Instead of staying in A/C cabins and eating in a A/C lodge, everything was outdoors, and they slept in tents the whole week! 🙂 They also
