Trevor & Bailee

Trevor is playing T-ball! His first game is on Saturday, which I will miss~ He looks so cute in his outfit~


Bailee went to the "Mormon" Prom~ They had such problems finding her a dress~ Ordered one, which didn't get there in time. However Taryn found this one, and had it altered. I thought it turned out really cute. Can't believe this little girl is growing up~ Makes me very sad, and feeling very old!!

Left to Tell

I read all day~ Started reading this book and couldn't put it down~ I cried and was so inspired by this woman's faith and courage. Sometimes being a member of the church we forget that others indeed, have special spiritual experiences, and are guided by our Heavenly Father! Anyway, it's a short book (200 pages) and reads very quickly! Makes me very glad to live in the USA even with all our government problems. Hopefully it'll never come to this!

Silverthorne, CO

After leaving Denver we went through a beautiful little town, Silverthorne~ They had outlets, so of course we had to stop and shop for a few hours! It was really a cute little town~
We drove to Grand Junction, and spent the night there, before returning to Cortez. I hadn't been to Grand Junction in probably 45 years. Used to go there a lot for shopping/skiing & visiting an old boyfriend! ha! While there, Misha and I went to see "Hunger Games". It was great~ And Grand Junction was still the cute little town I remembered!

The Unsinkable Molly Brown

The Kitchen!

Molly's room~

The dining room~


We enjoyed seeing the Molly Brown home in downtown Denver~ She was an amazing lady! However her husband was a slime ball!

Denver Trip-Butterfly Pavillion

Kolby & Mallorie had so much fun in Denver at the Butterfly Pavillion. It is really an amazing place! You go into this Amazon-like jungle room, where thousands of butterflies are flying around. They are everywhere!! I've never seen so many types~

The Mile High City

Tomorrow we are heading for Denver. My favorite cousin is there with her son, Scott~I also have cousin Debbie, who lives there, and Kim not too far away--So we're hoping to get to see all of them too~ We have Misha & the twins with us, so this will be their first time in Denver~ We've had snow here in Cortez--it's melted almost as quick as it's hit the ground. We hope the snow won't be bad going to Denver!

More Random pictures~

Loved this one of Salt Lake Capital with the mountains & snow in the back~

Again My Ute Mountain~

Mesa Verde --I miss seeing these~



Another view of Mesa Verde with snow!

Where's my gun?

Almost last but not least--Dane!! He's such a character! I miss him! Speaking of little characters--I talked to Kevin last night, and he had to tell me the latest Anabeth story. Kevin recently went to China for work, when he got back, Helen asked Anabeth where daddy had gone, and Anabeth said "Vigina"! Love them~

The beautiful LaPlata Mountains~ These I see from my kitchen/dining room windows! Never get tired of seeing them change~

Random

Mallorie was already student of the month~~
However yesterday was an exciting day~ After the awards ceremony, we got a call telling us the school was "on lock down". Of course we immediately thought the worst~ But the announcement continued to tell us that there had been a robbery in the neighborhood, and because of that they locked the school down..which meant, all the kids had to meet in the cafeteria and wait! Mallorie and Kolby said they heard about 10 shots!! So we assume the police got the robbers! There was nothing on the news, that we saw. Haven't checked out the paper yet this morning---I would think there would be something about it!!! Misha is ready to keep the kids home, and home school!

I thought this polar bear cycle was funny~~

Kade, I'm not exactly sure what is going on==but it looks like something might blow up.

Kade, or curly Joe, as Myrle calls him~

Kodi got snow, and lots of it in OR~
