Sunset Boulevard - Colorado Style

We have some great trails around our neighborhood - well around the entire state, actually. They section off land for public use and call it "Designated Open Space", filling it with trails for walking, hiking and biking. It's great! So here are some pictures from our sunset walk for FHE the other night. I went a little overboard with pictures of the sky, so be patient. It was just so breathtaking.

A Day at the Pool

We spend a lot of time at our community pool. It's been really warm and the kids have turned into little fish. It has a great waterslide and waterfall and spouts and a kiddie pool and playground. The boys love it and frankly - so do I. (Free entertainment - and afterwards they're pooped!) So I took the camera a couple of weeks ago and decided to snap a few of them playing. The pictures could've been better, but it's tough trying to keep the camera dry while chasing around Davis. He still thinks he can step right into the pool from the side - like walking on water. All he wants to do is dig through the pool toy bins - as you can see.

Davis & the Balloon

The big boys now have a standing Friday movie night with some neighbor boys, and this week it was Mason's turn. So while they were watching Robots and downing popcorn we gave Davis some 2 - on -1 attention. He was perfectly happy playing with a balloon. I just love his jabber-wocky talking and his Frankenstien walking. He loves to say "bye" and "hi" and "dad", but otherwise it's nonsense. AAaahh . . . the joys of babyhood.

And as you can see, we're still short on furniture.

Sweet Home Colorado!

Okay, if you didn't know it already - we moved to Colorado. Darren bought into a practice in Boulder and we are living in Superior, just a few minutes south of his office. And guess what? We love it!!! I think if I were to create the perfect place to live (for us/me) this would be it. Yeah, yeah - talk to me in 6 months when it's FUH-REEEZING outside. Maybe I'll change my tune, but I doubt it. I love the snow, too.

Pictures to come of the house, the neighborhood, the beautiful scenery, the kiddos, etc.

This past summer has really been a whirlwind of adventure - packed with thrills. In a 2 1/2 month period we had my 30th birthday, Darren's graduation, Darren's 35th birthday, Davis's FIRST birthday, our 10 year - yes 10 year - wedding anniversary, a move across the country (broken into two stretches), plus mother's day, father's day, july 4th, and a 8 day family reunion again across country. It was wonderful, but lots to celebrate!

Needless to say, after all the action I am thrilled to be settled. We're getting all adjusted and I'm realizing that life was more stressful in LA - it wasn't just in my head. The space, the fresh smelling air, the kiddies all over the neighborhood - well it's just Familyland here and it's so great. We love our house, our new neighbors, upgraded cars, the new school is awesome and most importantly Darren loves his practice. (I'll post some pics of that too!)

So, if any of you want to visit - feel free.
