X-Factor and FHE with Friends

Today the girls went to see X-Factor up in Denver.  They were SO excited to see Simon Cowell and the crew.  They had a blast and really enjoyed watching all the performances (some WAY better than others).  🙂

After they got home, we went over to the Liddell’s for dinner and Family Home Evening.  We enjoy doing things with them.  They were also really helpful in helping us find a home out here and in helping us move.  We owe them big-time!  Thanks Terry and Bonnie!  🙂

Aunt Mary Funeral

On Friday we left to drive out to Utah to go to Aunt Mary’s funeral.  It was a quick trip, and we were back on Sunday afternoon.  The services were nice and it is so comforting to have the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation that we do.  All the family was there, and we got a picture of all the grand kids…

We’ll miss Aunt Mary but know that she is in a better place now and she is without pain.

Aunt Mary Passes Away :-(

We just found out that Aunt Mary (Grandma B.’s sister) passed away today.  She had taken a sudden turn for the worse, after being healthy and walking every day, sweeping sidewalks, etc.  The funeral is on Saturday and so we’re going to drive to Bountiful then and support the family.

Kirstyn the Steer Herder!

Today, Kirstyn babysat for some friends of ours in the ward.  They are ranchers, and Kirstyn had to move one of the steers from one place to another for some reason.  We didn’t see it, but it was absolutely hilarious to think of Kirstyn, our TOTAL city girl, pulling a stubborn steer across the yard and into the corral.  It stepped on her foot while she was trying to pull it around, and that hurt, but she’ll be OK.  Pretty funny, huh?  🙂

Sarah Flies out to California!

Sarah flew out to California today!  We were able to talk to her for about 30 minutes when she got to the airport!  We are so proud of her and for her decision to serve the Lord on a mission!  This time, I didn’t fall apart like I did when she left to go to the MTC, but it was hard to say good-bye!  The crazy thing is that she flew out of Salt Lake to Denver, and then to Santa Barbara where they then drove up to her mission.  She was at the airport here and we couldn’t go and hug her!  🙁  Anyway, we know she is doing the right thing and will be an AWESOME Hermana!  We are keeping up her blog here:

She’s super excited to get out there and serve!  Best of luck, Sarah!  You’ll do GREAT!

Brittany Birthday Party!

Today, Brittany threw a birthday party for herself!  She had about 15 friends over and they had a great time!  It’s great that she’s making some good friends out here.

They played all sorts of games (inside and out), and had a blast!  They ate cupcakes, drank pop, and opened presents!  We took lots of pictures of everyone who came so we could remind Brittany that she does have friends when she thinks she doesn’t!  🙂

Happy Birthday Brittany!  Big 17!

Housewarming in Aurora

Today, after a day of cleaning house and shopping, Angela and I attended a housewarming party in Aurora for Matt Coupas and his family.  Matt is the local IT guy in the Denver office and I’ve worked with him for awhile now.  It was good to see him.  We were hoping that more of the work-at-home IT people would be there, but we were the only ones, so it’s good we went.  We had some great food and enjoyed visiting with some of their friends as well.

Camping Plans Squashed

Tonight we were planning on going camping (Devil’s Head) and had everything packed and ready to go.  When we got in the van to leave, it wouldn’t turn over (hopefully battery and not alternator)!  What a bummer!  🙁  What’s crazy, is that it turned out for the best.  Right after that, it started to lightning, thunder, and rain.  We found out that a fire had been started by lightning right around the area we were going to go, so it was a good thing we weren’t up there!  🙂

Dinner with Family

Today we had my Aunt Anne and Uncle Steve and most of the family come down to dinner today.  They are in the Denver area having a family reunion and wanted to see us.  It was a lot of fun getting to see them.  We hadn’t seen most of them for a LONG time and it was good to catch up and  eat at the same time.  It’s nice that we’re closer to family now so we can get to both families in only 1 day instead of 2 or 3 days!  🙂

Trolley Ride Around Castle Rock

Angela found a fun little free thing for us to do today, so we went to downtown Castle Rock and rode the Castle Rock Town Trolley!  The tour took us around the old/original part of Castle Rock and told us all about the history.  The trolley started a the old train depot which was really cool!

It was a lot of fun and we learned a bunch about the history of where we now live.  By the end, the boys were getting a little restless, so the ride was just the perfect length!  🙂
