Moving Day

Although I complain about time flying by, this day couldn't have come soon enough. It's moving day!! I took pictures of it empty...before all of our stuff arrived and it was unorganized for who knows how long...

Final Days of School

It's so hard to believe that the boys have already completed a full school year in Colorado. In some ways it feels as though it was just yesterday we moved here. Time is flying by too quickly. It's kind of scary. Here's a little of what happened the last few days. 

Monday Riley got to go with Band students to the adventure park. He got his good friend, Jordan, to try the swing for the first time. It was a good day for him.

Reece had a good ol' fashioned "Field Day"... He signed up for 3 events. Cross Country run, Standing Long Jump and Softball Throw. He got 1st place in the first 2 and 3rd in the Softball Throw. This is exactly how my "Field Days" were as a kid and brought back so many memories.

On Tuesday, Reece got to go with 3rd grade to The Glenwood Hot Springs Pool all day. Educational field trip, I'm sure. ;)

My 11 year old on the first and last day of school. He is definitely "pre" teen.... Overall, Riley had a great year. So happy!!

My then 8 year old, now 9 year old baby. So hard to believe my youngest will be a 4th grader.  Reece did get the "Best Attendance" Award. He only missed 1 day.

Here's to a great school year in a new district. I still can't believe how fast time is going by. Here's to a great summer!

Final Band Concert

Riley had his final concert last night. 

(We were up high, but he is right in the middle, white shirt, looking at us.)

It's amazing the progress they have made since Christmas. I'm excited to hear them improve each year. Riley still wants to continue with the trombone, so I'm happy. Now to keep him practicing over summer...that may be the real challenge.

Cheers!

We had the final soccer tournament all Memorial Day weekend, so that consumed most of our time, but we made it out to Carbondale for some of the best pizza at White House Pizza. Yum! Here is Reece with his root beer loving life... Riley might not be loving having Reece hang all over him. Oh pre-teenagers.

We did get to spend all of Monday at the Adventure Park. They had a new swing ride called the Canyon Flyer. It was a great ride ... Not as thrilling as the Giant Swing, but it allows you to take in more of the Canyon while you are on it. Getting the annual pass was a great decision. Soccer and swings sums up our busy weekend. The boys are still in school until June 4th, which is so strange to me, but it's almost done. Summer will be here before we know it.

T-3 DAYS

Time is suddenly slowing down.... our anticipation to finally closing on our home is getting the best of us! We've been a bit busy. I've been very busy trying to figure out colors to our house that has all WHITE walls. Here is what we got while it was on sale and it will be in all 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I'm so excited to get a roller and brush back in my hand and bring some personality to a blank canvas again... I'll probably be singing a different tune in a few weeks when I'm beyond tired of the painting, but my adrenaline to actually being out of this condo will hopefully carry me through.

And this is just a stroll down memory lane... this is from Jake's 2008 Father's Day , after the Jayhawks won the championship. (And this is just a few of the cute pictures I got...)

Rifle Falls

My Mother's Day wish was to take a hike...it had been so long since the weather allowed such an activity, but the weather on my day was pretty miserable. We made up for it the following weekend. A co-worker recommended Rifle Falls and it did not disappoint. It wasn't quite a "hike" but the scenery was amazing! And there are lots of pictures of Reece because he LOVES his picture taken during hikes. ;)

Snack time in the nice cool cave.
