Today we had a graduation open house/party for Brittany (along with a partial 18th birthday party for her as well). We had a lot of people come over and congratulate her on a job well done and have some food from our build-your-own nacho bar! We had a great time chatting with everyone and Brittany […]
Ben and Zach had their last day of school at AVA today! They both had parties in their rooms and Angela went to help. Ben was pretty funny! I wish I could have been there. He really loved Miss Kalaveshi, his teacher, and he said that he really wants to have her again next year!
Today, while Grandma and Grandpa Halliday were in town, we took them for a drive up into the mountains to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, Brittany had to work so she couldn’t come. 🙁 We drove up and around near Mount Evans and got some pretty pictures and enjoyed the cool weather. We thought about driving

Today was Brittany’s LAST day of High School! She was very excited but also a little sad. Weird to say, but we were kind-of happy that she was sad because with the move, we weren’t sure she was going to really adjust well and have a great senior year. She made a lot of friends
