Our little trip :)

So one of my all time favorite places to visit is the good ol' home of Connie and Jack Leigh...aka Grandma and Grandpa.  I'm so blessed to call them that.  My kids are also hooked and didn't want to leave.  I can't blame them:)

 

Allison got car-sick in the curvy roads of Colorado....How lucky were we that we had to pull over at this spot?  Can you feel the Rocky Mountain air just looking at these pictures?  After this experience, Allison informed us any other time she got car sick that we needed to pull over by some water so she could get out and look because that is what you do when people get sick :)

 

Our trip to the Dolores River.  I've decided Cole and I are moving to Dolores Colorado when we are done with the army (don't know if anyone else agrees or not..but I don't care...hehehehe).  Our river trip was complete with good food (Grandma's turkey and home-made rolls), good company and unsuccessful fishing :)

 

  

Allison thought she was pretty cool digging her toes in the mud...did I mention the water was FREEZING?  the kids didn't care :)

 

 

 

Cole and I got a little excited about some glow sticks and glow glasses we found at Wal-Mart...so we bought them :)

 Brooke, Dylan, Allison and Brett are in this picture wearing the glasses

Aunt Dalena, Me and Grandma thought we needed to join in the festivities

We engaged in glow stick bowling, and my favorite: glow stick run-way in Grandma's hallway....notice the "planes" flying down the hall

 

 not so patiently waiting for waffles :)

After our trip to Grandma and Grandpa's...we headed to Albuquerque for Thomas and Ruthie's wedding.  I was fortunately able to spend some time with my good friend from college...Lisa....she is having a baby July 4th

Thomas and Ruthie's wedding was super fun.  These are the drinks the bartender made for Brett and Allison.... they thought they were big stuff :)

 We are gonna miss these two so much.  Just the other day, Allison asked if we could go out to a restaurant.  I told her not today.  And she said, but Ruthie and Thomas could come.  I had to remind her that they have moved to New Mexico.  Let's just say I had one unhappy little girl on my hands.  They have been SO good to our kids and we just love them!

Allison bravely jumping into the swimming pool, and Brett cautiously sitting on the steps :)  Swim lessons should be interested this year!
