Fun Filled Saturday!

I started Saturday morning with a 5K run supporting Aids for Colorado! I raised $100 for the cause and 30% of that went directly to the Aids program at The Children's Hospital! Lauren and Kyle went with me and were a big support. The day started out chilly, but warmed up to a nice 70 degrees!











So, the weather was great for the Rockies game Saturday night! It was Kyle's first major league baseball game, so he had to have a foot long hot dog and cotton candy! The Rockies lost to the Astros, but we had fun anyway!!! Lauren even got into the spirit!! Its great to have so many fun things to do!

Happy Labor Day

Its finally Saturday! It was a long, hard week! But, the weekend is here and the DNC is gone, and I am happy! We are going to buy a grill this weekend. We left our old one in Arkansas and haven't grilled in 2 months, so I decided, we will buy a grill and cookout on Labor Day! I'm hoping they are on sale!

Lauren and Kyle finished their first week of school. Kyle caught some virus and had to miss Thursday and Friday. So, he will have make up work right off the bat! Lauren was tardy one day and their policy is you have to go to a tardy station to get a note to get into class! So, the next day she made sure she was way early, little did we know class starts 40 minutes later on Wednesdays, so she was WAY early!!! Poor thing, I think she has it down now! I'm really impressed with their school system here and think they will get a great education!

Ty came home last night to watch the SMU game with Troy. His friend, Bryce Lunday, is playing football for SMU. It sure was good to see Ty. I miss that kid so much. He is heading back already today......guess he is bored here! I can't blame him, he's made some really neat friends, from Portland and Alaska! They have been exploring Denver this week, since they were out of school for the DNC. He seems happy and that is all I need.

Hope you all have a marvelous Labor Day weekend.
Gotta run,

First Day of School

Lauren and Kyle started school today! I can't believe I have one that started college, one that started high school, and one that started middle school! Lauren looked so little walking up to that big high school and Kyle looked so big walking up to his school! I did have to take the dreaded "first day of school photos" that my kids have come to look so forward to. But, hey, I figure I only have a few more years to torture them! I think they are both going to love school here!

Adios for now, gotta run!

Missing you!

Well, I am officially homesick! Although, I love Denver and my job, it has finally sunk in that we are here to stay. I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss my old job and I miss the familiarity of everything. I will tell you one thing I don't miss and that is the humidity! This weekend the high on Saturday was 57! We had to find our jackets and sweatshirts! It rained more this weekend than it has in 7 months here. I guess they get it all at once! The temp is back up in the 80's today, with the wonderful blue sky and the mountains as the backdrop.
Ty is in his second week of college and loves all his classes. Its just so darn weird with him gone. I keep waiting for him to come to the table at dinner and say, "wheres the meat?" I am so happy that he loves it there and is making friends. He's already in a film club.
Lauren and Kyle will start next Monday. They are ready to make some friends. Lauren loves her schedule. Along with her normal classes, she has German I, photography, journalism, newspaper, and weight lifting! How cool! Kyle will get his schedule tomorrow. We are so proud though, they are putting him in 7th grade math!
Please drop me a line, I need some good southern hospitality!

Denver Zoo

We had so much fun at the Denver Zoo on Sunday. The Children's Hospital gave all the employees free tickets and lunch! The kids loved it, especially Tyler. I thought we would never get him to leave! It was a really great zoo and the day was beautiful!
Check out some of our pictures at this link- Denver ZOO.
Let me hear from you.

College Bound!

Who knew 18 years could go by so fast? I never dreamed as I brought home that 7 lb. 12oz. baby boy, that the years would fly by at lightening speed. It boggles my mind and breaks my heart, but at the same time, I am so excited for Ty. He is so ready and University of Colorado Denver is such a cool place! He is going to love the film and media dept. We learned yesterday at college orientation that Colorado is #1 in growth for producers and directors! We had to laugh because his room mates' name is Kyle! How funny is that? So, as one phase of life comes to an end, another one starts for my sweet young man. I can't wait to see what he does with his life, I know it will be amazing, just because he is amazing!
Thanks for letting a mom grieve a little....

The Holter Hacienda

Here is the new Holter Hacienda!!!
We are still in the midst of unpacking boxes, but we are pretty much in business! We really like the house and the area, lots of great places to run and bike, the trails are endless.
The boys were worn out, so I sent them to see the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Lauren, Cyr and I were able to get so much more done, with them out of the way. But, I need them back now, I want some furniture moved......well gotta run....
love,
