Back to the Beach

As the cool weather moves in here in Colorado, I thought I would daydream about our vacation and share the rest of the photos with you...






Yes, this guy caught a shark. A SHARK! 100 yds from our condo!

Labor Day Weekend

Tom and I took a trip back to Illinois to visit his family over the long weekend. My parents drove up and joined us for the weekend as well. On Saturday, Jerry threw a big "get together" including all of the neighbors (within a 40 mile radius), family, and several of Tom's hometown friends. Throughout the day, I think there were around 60-80 people that came to visit.
This is a picture of us with some of Tom's friends and their families:


Tom with JD and Kurt


Tom and Garth took turns pulling Micah and Ella around the yard in the wagon


Micah tried his hardest to pull uncle Andy!


I think this picture best expresses how far out in the middle of the farm land we really were.



No trip to Illinois is complete without a family picture in front of the corn.


It was a quick trip, but Micah enjoyed seeing all of his grandparents.


He especially liked Nana and Granddaddy's new convertible

I'm back!

I plan to return to my normal blogging status this week. Being a wife, mom, accountant, student, and volunteer have proved to be overwhelming the last couple weeks.

This is a video of Micah dancing with his guitar that his uncle Andy got him for his birthday. Did I mention that he also got Micah a drum, xylophone, and piano? I can't wait until he has kids!

1st Birthday Party

I thought it was necessary to take a break from our vacation posts to share some visuals of Micah's birthday party that was this morning.

I'll try to get everything I want to post up here in the next few days, but my words will be limited. We're traveling to Illinois next weekend and I need to get as far ahead on my school work as I can before we leave. With that, I leave you with these...

Riding The Waves

Micah enjoyed the waves, and I enjoyed laughing at his daddy's facial expressions in all of these pictures. I enjoyed them so much I decided to share them with you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICAH!

HE'S ONE TODAY!





Oh, wow! Look how he's grown up!
