Okay, so I'm sure no one even reads my blog anymore, but I'll put this out there anyway. We are now living in Colorado and loving it. We still do miss New Jersey though. It was familiar and exciting and we had friends there and it was so green and beautiful (when you got out of Hudson county that is). But when we drove into Colorado there was this sign that said "Welcome to Colorful Colorado". At the time we thought, "What!" Eastern Colorado is actually very flat and a little boring. But as we got closer to the mountains and the longer we live here we are starting to realize what they mean by that. The weather here is awesome and there is all kinds of scenery here. Driving into the mountains is beautiful and the skies change colors all throughout the day. They actually have monsoon season here where is rains in the afternoons in July mostly. The thunder and lightning is amazing and the rain gives you nice cool evenings. We can't wait for fall and winter here too. We've been back and forth to Utah several times already and the drive is not bad....okay, it's still driving 8-9 hours with 4 kids which is never pleasant, but oh well. :)
So much has happened but I'm giving you the Reader's Digest version of only 8 pictures for now. :)
 |
| The drive cross country. Yes, they wore their pajamas all day one day because we left so early in the morning. |
 |
| Stopping at Adam-ondi-Ahman. The best kept secret of church sites. It was amazingly beautiful and special. Everyone should go there. |
 |
| I know this picture is terribly blurry but how do you get a non blurry picture of kids on the trampoline with their cousins. There may or may not have been a cousin with a bloody nose at the end of this crazy tramp session. ;) |
 |
| Part of the wild storms I mentioned earlier. It hailed HARD for like 5 minutes....in JULY |
 |
| Having fun with grandma up Provo Canyon. Annie was having fun...I promise. :) |
 |
| Aunt Tatia and Annie love each other lots. |

Coloradians (I'm not sure if that is the correct term or not) are serious about their
outdoor sports, especially biking. They have these great trails all over the place.
Most neighborhoods are broken up by open space with dirt trails or paved trails.
This one is right by our place and the kids had fun exploring, even though it was like 98 degrees. |

| See ya later! |
