Roller Derby


Nanee bought the kids roller skates for the basement and they have been down there most of the time. I think they will be upset with us once the basement is finished.

Buddies


After Nanee Lu has cleaned all the blinds and doors in the house and polished silver and cooked meals and chased kids she has spent time with Bakes on the couch. Her favorite thing. Brent and I had gone out to a local bar called the Next Door bar. It has great Buffalo Bill motif. Small town atmosphere.

Baker's new love


Poor Baker...yes he is with us but still too small to be in a lot of what we are doing. Here he is with his latest love. The Hop in Pop... he is now grasping things and taking them to his mouth.

Mountains Climbers


Ava and Quinn have decided that they want to be mountain climbers. I have told them they have to wait until they are 8 before they can climb. They were not happy with me especially since they watched Daddy climb high on a mountain. Quinn wanted to know if he has to be a daddy before he can climb. If so then he wants to be a Daddy. Ava said she does not want to be a Mommy because they don't climb as high. (This mommy doesn't at least).

On the way to Colorado Springs

Stauffacher's in front of new house


Nanee took this picture of us in front of our new house after church last Sunday. It was a beautiful day. Shortly after we meet two new neighbors. Matt and Katie have Gracie who is Ava's age and Jackson that is close to Quinn and a new baby that is due any day.

Elevation: 6202 feet


Greetings from Castle Rock, CO


We had a great day yesterday visiting Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. Pike's Peak is in the background. For those who are wondering, Baker is on the ground level with Nanee Lulu.
