Hello Colorado :-) !!


Although we miss many things about California, especially all the people we came to know and love, we are adjusting well to Colorado and already starting to love it! This is a shot off the back of our balcony.  We are loving the trees and the sun and are excited to explore the mountains! What I love about the Denver Rockies is that you can see multiple layers of them if you catch them just right at sunset. Its breathtaking!

Off in the background is the play structure at the Elementary school that Abby will attend next year. I am so excited that I can walk her there!! She is too!
Our kids are loving their new home and helping mom and dad get the yard all cleaned up. Abby and Hailey had just helped me pot these plants for the front porch the day before. They are being such good little helpers.

Goodbye California :-(



One last visit to the beach was a must, as Dave gave up his dream of being a surfer so Heather could have her dream of living in the mountains. :-) We had also never taken family pictures at the beach and definitely needed some!! Here are a few cute pics.  It was a beautiful day in Half Moon Bay.





Truman had the great pleasure of covering his little feet in the California sand.

 Abby had to soak in her last ocean view...
Hailey had to pick her last flower.
 We loved our last visit to San Fransisco and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge from a whole different vantage point.  These pictures were taken from Land's End Trail.
At the end of Land's End trail.

 This is our first visit to Napa Valley.  It was pretty sweet. From Geysers to Castles, we saw it all.

Abby and Hailey felt like Rapunzel in the tower of the De Amorosa castle winery.

Sitting in the river on chairs at the Big Sur River Inn.  This was something I always wanted to do before leaving CA. It was fun! Abby and Hailey loved it. It was very relaxing.I can imagine how much more relaxing it would be without kids and a good book :).




Just a bit of craziness while we were hanging out in our cabin the evening before.
One of the beaches we enjoyed going to as a family.
What is it with boys and wanting to eat sand?????? I don't remember my girls doing that.
What a fun week we had visiting some of our favorite CA spots. We already miss them!

Family portrait



Abby was so proud of this family picture that she drew in our neighbor's driveway.
We were too! She drew me holding baby Truman.

3 kids....so much fun!



You know you are a mom of three when you are breastfeeding one kid with one arm,
wiping another one's bottom with the other hand and telling the other one to get her shoes on all at the same time. Gotta love it!

Hailey had so much fun at her Minnie Mouse birthday party.
She loves Minnie almost as much as she loves Flynn Rider :).
