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
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
Today we had our first visit from Chicago friends! The Cerda family just happened to be out in the Denver area for a soccer tournament and called to see if they could come over! 🙂 It was great to see them! Zach was SUPER excited to see his best friend from Illinois again! We had
