Colorado Living

One tradition during Labor Day weekend is going to the hot air balloons.  I remember going to see the balloons with mom and dad when I was younger and I always remember how much fun I had.  Getting up early, seeing the balloons filling up with hot air, watching them lift off the ground, watching them try to "touch" the lake......   These are the types of memories I want Garret and Grace to have also!

Early Colorado morning sky!

We were happy to have Nana, Papa and Cor come to the balloons with us.  Cor was especially fun this year!  He was talkative and very happy.

We have also had family members from out of state visit recently.  It was so much fun to have everyone around I wish it could happen more often.  I have been told that some of the family has thought about moving to Colorado in a few years.  The picture of Annie and Garret was taken at the Flying W Ranch.  Talk about memories!  Yes....  I worked there and wore the Cowboy clothes and even used to try to fake an accent.  Garret loves his Cowboy hat and his mommy!

Grace is growing up way to fast for me.  Today on the phone she actually said good bye to me.  Although I love my kids getting older and growing I miss them as the small, quiet babies that once slept on my chest.  This picture was taken by Uncle Chris while he was in town.
Things here are great,  Annie is feeling much better and she made me buy her a new car.  What can I say but "yes ma'am".  The weather is turning a little colder and school has started.  Garret starts pre-school tomorrow, and Annie has been back at work for a few weeks.  I hope all is well for those reading this!
