Summer's trekkin' on

 

It's been a month... but at least it hasn't been a year! Thanks for missing me! 

Here's an update:

The legos are growing in Kai's room--- I need to find some good organization for these-- thank you Pinterest for all your help and organization!

We haven't been needing that bucket of ideas-- we're so busy!  Pool? what Pool? there's a pool near us? We're so thankful for our neighbors and our front porch! It's the downtime we need!

This last weekend, Kai and I engaged in a road-trip (thank you Zapped for the fun music which we mixed in with Radio Disney!)  We drove through some amazing scenery heading west in Colorado to the lovely town of Fruita!  We were welcomed by the lovely Jessy McKinley who hosted a fabulous Thirty-One party!  New friends, new simple solutions, new consultant....new memories!

This is our beautiful Colorado-- after a 1.2 mile (steep) hike, we were blessed with the View of Hanging Lake!

As many of you have seen on the news, our beautiful state is on fire.  We were not in any danger, but did drive right past the De Beque Canyon Fire which thankfully isn't affecting structures. It was breathtaking at night to come around the bend and see the fires burning.  This is on the way back during the day when you can only really see the smoke. 

And what better than to keep a 9 1/2 year old busy than apps on the iPad! She made some of the funniest pictures (I need to figure out how to make cuter collages of the pictures!-- Help this inexperienced Blogger)  We had so much fun singing and just being together in the car!  And Kai's favorite part, staying at a hotel where they serve breakfast in the morning (it's the little things!)

We are loving life, loving summer, and loving being with friends!!
