...A Change of Season

...A few weekends ago Nolan & I took Sweet Pea to LaPlata Canyon in Durango CO. We love it there and have been there every fall since we tied the knot. It is a short hour from home, but oh so BEA-U-TI-FUL! We got rained on for a little bit, but managed to take a family photo.

The view was gorgeous! We love this time of year!

But we couldn't pass up this picture opportunity...

...Now that's a little blunt!

...Super Star Weekend

Nolan & I went to Albuquerque this weekend to watch Wes throw the Javelin at the State Track Meet! It was a lot of fun and really HOTT!! Wes did so awesome! He took 3rd overall! It was fun to watch him in action and his little routine that he goes through before he throws.There is nothing better than to watch your little brother do something that he loves! It was so nerve racking each time before he threw! I was a very proud Big-Sis this weekend! Taking pictures of him on the medal stand was a little emotional. Ok I know "Cut the Cord" (as Nolan & Jeremy would say)! Wes is the baby of the family and we have all spoiled him! He is an amazing uncle and such a fun brother! We are very proud of you Wes! You are an ALL-STAR!!

The boy from Los Alamos that took first was quite sure of himself! He was pretty amazing to watch. His form was so good and he would start clapping before he threw to get the crowd all jazzed up and then they would start clapping before he threw! Hopefully he gave Wes a few tips, because he broke the State Record and he will be graduating! Next year Wes YOU'RE #1!

We discovered 1 thing about Olivia this weekend...She doesn't like Track Meets! Nolan was nice enough to take care of her while we were waiting for the medals to be handed out! It was very important for me to see Wes get his medal and take some pictures! Thanks Nolan for being a GREAT husband! Olivia was so good all weekend with all the running around we did! Of course no trip to Albuquerque would be complete without some good food and some shopping! We did our fair share! Hopefully we will be returning this weekend to pick up our new camper (if everything goes ok) We are very excited about it and can't wait to get Camping season started!

The smile & hat didn't stay on that long!

Kourt wearing Kaitlin's sunglasses!

What was fun about your weekend?

...Weekend Smeekend!

Our weekend was sooo fun! Nolan decided to take ALL day Friday off! YAY!! I was so pumped! I was going to put him to work in the house cleaning bathrooms, floors, cleaning out the fridge, scrubbing baseboards...etc. while I sat on the couch eating Bon-Bons (right Jeremy?!). Then he told me his plan and I couldn't think of anything better to do! I love when my husband has good ideas! So this is what we did...
...We drove to Cortez CO to look at Campers (we are in the market for a BIGGER one!)

...then drove over to Durango CO to have some lunch (Yummy Steamworks!) and do some downtown shopping

...While we were shopping I found the coolest thing ever for Olivia. I have been shopping on-line for a Baby Carrier. I wanted a wrap style, but Nolan thought it was a little on the girly side. After talking to a friend she bought a wrap and loved it for her little guy! So while in Durango they had what I had been looking at on-line! It's a Moby!

...So we tried it out...and Nolan liked it! So we got one! Olivia loves it! It's a little hard to get used to and figure out how to wrap it just right. Thanks Heather! (where's your Blog?)

(side note: Last night while we were at Softball practice, I had Olivia wrapped up in it facing out and a lady pointed out to everyone on her team that I was smothering my child. Was she quiet...NO! Was I annoyed...YES!Keep your opinions to yourself!)

....Saturday, Nolan had an Elder's Quorum Service Project... so Olivia & I did Laundry. Then we went over to visit Manda & Kids.Came home for a nap...Nolan planted grass seed (I did help!)

(our yard is a work in progress)

...While next door Jeremy & Manda started digging the foundation for their house! YAY!! Watching my dad on a Backhoe was pretty funny! Good job Guys!

(not much now..but will be soon!)

...For dinner I made yummy Gumbo, to fill our empty bellys! Yum-O! Then we were able to hang out for a while at Grandpa & Grandma Stewarts!

What a GREAT weekend it was! Thank goodness for HARD Working Husbands!

What did you do fun over the weekend?
