Emmie's Soccer Game

Emmie had a soccer game this morning, here in North Carolina, which her team lost! However, she's a good little player--really the only one on her team who hustles and gets the job done!! It was great getting to see her play! Bree, Brooks & Shirley's little girl watched and cheered Emmie on!

Mesa Verde National Park

Mesa Verde wasn't a National Park when I grew up--and the history was different. We were taught that the Indians that lived there, disappeared. They never found evidence of their cultural anywhere else. They just up and disappeared! No bones were found, which would have indicated war, or some disease that killed them off--Now that the park is a government "National Park" they have a totally different explanation! Perfect example of how they've tried to change our history! Nevertheless, I find it fun to visit and think about. How these Indians lived in these cliffs, or why for that matter remain a real mystery to me!

Happy Birthday Trenton

Today Trenton is 10 years old! We can't believe he is already this old---Where did the years go? I remember the day he was born, and how surprised we were that he was a little red head--He is the first in our family! He was the best baby, and by the time he was talking, could carry on a conversation with any adult! The first time he flew, he literally made eye contact with everyone on the plane--then he'd smile at them. Everyone commented what a wonderful baby he was to fly with!
He reminds me of my granny, who never met a stranger, and could talk your ears off! I love him, and miss him---Hate that he's living in Oregon, and so far away from all his cousins!

Labor Day

Just had to throw in a cute picture of Dane--Little Blue Berries~
The kids had a ball riding the 4-wheeler--Kora loved Uncle Jeremy--She was his girl most of the weekend~

Lonely in Colorado

Everyone has gone home~ Myrle & I are still wrapping things up here in Colorado. He claims there are still numerous things he "has" to do before we head back to AZ--I may just go back without him!
We enjoyed all the kids so much! Storie woke up this morning, and wanted to go back to Grandma's Colorado House! Misha & the twins left bright and early this morning, so she can be back in Idaho Falls for piano lessons this afternoon! She should make it fine--
We took the kids to Mesa Verde National Park--they are now Jr. Park Rangers! It's such a cute program for the kids--they fill out a booklet, as they visit the various ruins, and museum--then they swear them in, and give them a badge!
