Wow, I am not good at this! I read other people's blogs who update it everyday...Ashley Cena, ha ha. Anyways, we are back from our amazing trip to Utah and Colorado. We started out with a 16-hour drive to Utah. Hmmm...fun? Not so much, but we made it. The kids got to go to preschool with Grandma Debbie and Mason, Cody and I stayed home during the day, so it was like a break, yee haw! I got two Ann Rule books read while I was there! Anyways, we took the kids to Chuckie Cheese, Sanderson Bbq, to see Grandpa Rex and Grandma Colleen, to the State Park to feed the geese, and to build-a-bear (their favorite thing!!) Kade made a monkey named "Sunsin" we have no idea how he came up with this, and Tylar made a pink and white bear named "Smiley". Then Cody, Cyler, Mason and I took off for a 6-hour drive to Telluride, CO while Kade and Tylar stayed back with Gma Debbie and Gpa Steve. The drive was beautiful and we stopped at the Arches to take some pictures. We pulled into Telluride at around 10 pm so we didn't get to see how beautiful it was until the next morning, wow! We were up in a house at about 7,000 feet, I think?? Anyways, the view was amazing with herds of elk, snow-covered mountains and a beautiful little town. We sat in the hot tub, watched a lot of HGTV, and visited the little villages around Telluride. When the kids got there, we went on the Gondola ride that they loved and drove to Ouray and went into their hot springs which was by far my favorite part of the trip! The kids did not want to leave!! Even Mason was thrilled the whole time :) Now we're back to normal after a week of getting ready for our garage sale - what a success!!! It feels good to have gotten rid of a lot of stuff we've just been hanging onto. My next projects are painting the bedrooms. Kade picked out "Shark Loop" and Tylar picked out "Lilac" of course they were helped :) Well, that's it for now...take care
