Colorado ~ Part One

 We're going to the chapel and Kimmie Lou's getting married...........  The whole reason for our trip to Colorado last week was for my niece Kimberly's wedding, and some much needed time with Grandma and Grandpa. Beautiful weather, playing football in the back yard, Mom's home cooking, quality family time,a trip to the Zoo with my entire family, couldn't have asked for a better day,an evening catching up with friends I hadn't seen in way too years,  a hubby who actually (almost) had a vacation away from work (mark this one on the calendar), seeing my beautiful niece get married, meeting my great nephew Matthew for the first time. Yep, I would say it was a wonderful trip back home. 

 My date's for the wedding. What a lucky girl I was !!!!

 The Happy Couple, said "I DO"  what a beautiful wedding. Still can't believe little Kimmie Lou is old enough to be get married.  I remember when she was Hunter's age, playing around in my Dad's VW Bug pretending like she was driving it. And now that same car was her get away car at her wedding.Someone please tell me, I'm just dreaming.......cuz if I'm not, that only means one thing.... We're all getting old.. UGH

 I use to be so embarrassed over this car when I was growing up. Now I think it's pretty darn cute and really made a great Get-Away-Car !!!

 Can you believe all that hair........ Such an adorable little guy, pictures just don't do him justice.

 "OH, did you see that Mommy, did they just kiss?"

 Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Thurlow !

 Proud Papa ( my big brother) and the beautiful Bride !

 Let the Party begin...... Watch out John Travolta, here comes Hunter. Didn't know my little dude had it in him. What a great time we had watching him dance and run around.

He was in total Awww of Kim, and kept running up to her wanting to dance. Even broke up the Bride and Groom from a slow dance. Oopps, guess we need to teach him a few manners. Sorry Nick !!!

Best Date ever..... and such a great party !!!!

More photo's from beautiful Colorado coming soon ......



First Day of School !

The BIG Day ......

words straight out of the mouth of our sweet 2 year old this morning

 

Well, the big day has finally arrived. One that I've had mixed emotions about for months now. Hunter handled it like a champ. He was most excited about his nap mat, and new lunch box and was loving all the attention we were giving him this morning. He walked right into the building and about half way down the hall, before I think he realized what was happening and became a little clingy. Thank goodness for awesome teachers, who noticed a mother on the fast down hill slide to emotional break down and swooped up Hunter and  totally distracted him so we could slip out without any tears. ( from Hunter that is) Me, on the other hand cried all the way home.  Talk about such a strange morning. Even the dogs were looking at me, like "where is the little dude, it's too quite here?" I have never watched the clock more than I did today, I can tell this is going to take some getting use to.

Look out world, there's a new Preschooler in town !!!!

The teacher's report at pick up was good. She said he did really well all day, even laid down on his nap mat and rested for about 20 minutes before he sat up screaming for mommy. She said they were about to call me, because they couldn't get him calmed down and finally he settled down and rocked with her.  The best part of the day was seeing his eyes light up when he saw me outside his class room door.  So proud of our little guy, just hoping Thursday goes as smoothly.
