10 Year Anniversery of 9-11

I remember 10 years ago I had an early morning chemistry class. After class I came home to my roommates glued to the TV watching in disbelief of the tragedy. It wasn't until today as I was watching the memorial on TV that I realized how many lost their lives. To see the children say the names of those who had fallen and then the names of their parents is tear-jerking. I send my love and prayers to all those families and will always remember that day.

Rocky MtnS

For our Labor Day weekend we went up to Estes Park and hiked the Rocky Mtns.

 Colton our hiker, climbing the Rockies.

 He is showing us a tiny shinny rock (can you see it?)

USA Pro Cycling Tour

This past week the USA Pro Cycling Tour has been riding all over CO. Today was the last ride and we went and cheered them on. They were amazing, fast, fit and had AWESOME bikes! I think I need one!!

 Waiting for the race to start.

It was so awesome to see them fly by cruising at a min. speed of 28mph.
(so fast)

So when there water bottles are empty they just throw them off to the side of the road and Jeff grabbed one. Silly, maybe but I was excited -

Radley Can Ride A.....

BIKE!!!  At 2 years and 11 months old.... really????  Yep really!!

Today we went to Bear Creek Lake for a family bike ride.  Jeff told Ashton he would have to learn to ride his bike, without his training wheels before he could go Mt. biking with him..... And that is exactly what he did!!

New Mt. Bike

YETI!  A while back one of Jeff's colleagues at work had a terrible accident on his scooter leaving him unable to work for 6 months. So we finally talked Jeff in to trading his motorcycle in for a new Mt. Bike! It was a straight trade. Now he even has somewhere to ride it!!

Coltons First Week of School

My Little Man is old enough to go to school.... really? I can't believe how time has flied.  He is so eager to learn and excited for school! We are going to miss him for the 3 hours he is gone each day. 

 An art project on the wall as Ashton sends off his big brother to meet his teacher.

 These two boys are the best of buds.
