For Matt...

I have been sooooo crazy busy lately! I haven't had a chance to write. But, I found a spare moment to post a few pictures for Matt. I'll post later on all that's been happening. Until then, everyone have a fun last bit of summer!

Matt, We love you and miss you and will see you in 4 weeks!

Alex and Carlie after the rain

The other day I look up from what I'm doing and I see all the kids running all over the house! This is pretty typical at our home, so I took a picture to remember all the fun the kids have. After that I corralled them all up for the photo below. I'm glad they have so much fun!

Top row is Abbey, Ava and Eric. Bottom row is Carlie and Brinley. The only ones missing are Luke, Pete, Kendall and Allie. Alex and her friend found my lipstick......

Afternoon with Gram Gram

Grandma came to town a few weeks ago and Carlie, Alex and Grandma went to get their hair done while I was working. Here are a few pictures from the trip....

Recent pictures for Matt!

Carlie having her tea at her table Ollie fell asleep on the couch in the middle of Carlie's toys. Somehow this ended up on his head!

Carlie went out and picked some flowers for me the other day...

Miss you Dad!

Let it Rain!!!

There was a big storm the other day.... Remember how much fun this was?

Moving to Missouri!

For those of you who don't see me daily, or talk with me often this may come as a surprise to you, but....we're moving to Missouri! For those of you who see me all the time this is expected. (moving to Hawaii, or Idaho, or Arizona, or....) We've been looking at places to live for the last 2 or 3 years. All I know is that I need to get out of Denver. Don't really know why! After living here almost 15 years I just feel it's time to move on. I am an adventurer at heart and love traveling. If I was still single I would have moved years ago, or never settled in one place for more than a year or two in the first place. But, when you have kids your world revolves around them and stability. I've lived in the same house for 10 years now. Did the stability thing!

Matt got a job in Springfield MO and is moving this week. We're listing the house and following as soon as possible. There is sooooo much to do to get a house ready for sale, especially after living in it for 10 years with kids and dogs. I'm a little overwhelmed as Matt will be gone and I'll be in charge of listing and selling the house. Somehow we'll all make it through! I just hope and pray that it sells quickly.

What an exciting time! I'll keep you up to date on my fixing and installing the new sink, painting the fence etc. You will be entertained I'm sure!
