Denver Trip

Our good friends in Denver welcome us into their home every year but this was the first time we decided to go in October.  There was snow one day and lots of fallen leaves to take some great fall pictures.  We always have fun with the Alvidrez family.

A pumpkin patch and corn maze.

 

Someone was ready to zonk out.

Fun at the park.

Collin In September

Precious!

Collin took an eight week tumbling class in Tempe.  He really enjoyed it until 

it came time to do the balance beam and then he would freak out.

Loved getting his stamp at the end of every class.

Like His Mom, He Can Sleep Anywhere!

The top of the stairs.

Under his bed.

I am in love with this face!

Oregon

 Another trip we look forward to every year is to Oregon.  We love the weather, 

the beautiful sites, and most of all, the wonderful people that live there!

Misty came with us this time to get to spend some time with our 

grandpa before his health began to deteriorate.

I convinced Misty to let me take some pictures of her :-)

Check out this cool spider web.

We spent some time with my Uncle Gene.  This is his giant Christmas village and train set.

It was amazing and Collin enjoyed seeing all the moving parts.

Celeste couldn't find the energy to see it all.

We spent a few days on the coast and visited the Tillamook 

Cheese Factory and Air Museum.

Lunch in Newport, looking down below on the sea lions. 

I can hardly stand it!  This girl is so beautiful!  And what a sassy look.

Uncle Gene teaching me a thing or two about the sea lions.

We took advantage of the scenery and took a few family 

photos before the rain started again.

And, convinced Misty to take a few.

One more stop to see the grandparents before running to the airport.  This was the last time we saw my wonderful grandpa before he passed in November.  We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to spend these few days with him and say goodbye.
