So, I am going to start with our trip to Colorado in February. Our reasons for taking this little, last minute trip were not just for family fun. My cousin's wife, Jennifer passed away. I was not close to her or Damion but I really wanted to be there to support the family. The Funeral was on Valentine's Day, of all days! But it was a beautiful funeral none the less. It was so great to see everyone-like a little unplanned family reunion.
We stayed at Matt's parents house and accommodations were perfect! We had so much fun spending time with them and the rest of Matt's family. We did make it over to see my Dad a few times. We tried to take some pictures of all the grandsons together for my Dad. That was pretty funny! Monica taught us a really fun Dominoe's game. We had to go buy it when we got home. We play it every night. Cody is awesome at it. We don't play easy on him either! My Dad had a really fun game too. It is called, Ticket to Ride. We want to buy that one next. I love games! The last thing we had to do before we headed back home from Co. was go to the Lego store. Cody is in LoVe with LeGoS! We have tons, but it never seems to be enough. So of course we needed more! Right! I do have to say, I was just as excited to take the boys as Cody was. I love watching all the excitemnet in thier eyes. We stayed for about an hour, checking out everything, making careful decions on how to get the most for our money. The boys each ended up buying Lego's by the piece. They each got a cup and you fill it until no more can possibly fit. Matt was very helpful in making sure every last possible spot in that cup with filled! I was getting caught up in the moment and wanting to get some myself! But I restrained! We then hopped in the car and headed home. We only stopped once, in Grand Junction. That was it. AMAZING! The drive to Colorado was full of bathroom breaks, snack breaks, nursing breaks, you name it, we stopped! We now have a system down that works for us, so car trips should no longer be so painfuly long!
Here are some pics from the trip....

You never told me about the LEGO place! Wow! It looks like a cool place.

What a fun update ... we loved having you here .... come again any time!!!!!! Love the pictures ... I tell your dad whenever I see him that he has some of the best looking grandsons I've ever seen....or course, the fact that we share 3 of them doesn't figure in the picture!!! Hope you're all getting well. Love you soooo much!
Wow, that Lego store looks awesome. My boys would be in heaven, especially Hunter. I'm glad you had a fun trip, even if the reason for going wasn't the happiest of occasions.
