Pagosa Springs Vacation

We had SO much fun on the boys' first vacation! Here are a few memories...

The boys' first time out of Texas!

















All the GUYS on the porch... How cute are our hats???










At the continental divide... Harrison was asleep and missed out on a cute family picture! It was really cold this high up in the mountains.











This is in Durango at the General Palmer Hotel!





















And finally, the family playing mini-golf! We had to adjust to carrying 20 pounders on our backs. It made a good excuse for not putting so well... LOL!





It was a great week. We learned that the boys LOVE to go swimming! (or FWIMMIN' as Mimi jokingly says!) They are the cutest little water bugs ever. We swam at the pool at the resort, in the jacuzzi in our cabin, and at Pagosa's hot springs. It smelled really bad (right, Papa D?) but is apparently good for your health. Our week in the mountains was a GREAT first vacation. We'll certainly be going back to PS often.

Thanks, Mimi and Papa D for everything.

Ashley... this one's for you!

I found these pictures of us at my mom's house a few weeks ago... and just had to show you! Did we have the same dorm room every year at Learning to Lead? Do you remember going through all those wallpaper samples and cutting out pictures to decorate our room with? What fun memories. I totally forgot we went to Camp Blue Haven together. :) I miss you, girl. We need to get together soon. Love ya!

Getting Settled... Finally!

Things are starting to settle down. We've opened every box (they aren't all empty yet... but we're working on that!) and things are starting to take shape. Maybe I should post some pictures? The boys LOVE their new room! We have carpet throughout the house, and they love crawling around everywhere. They are 11 months old today. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. We're planning their first birthday party... a huge milestone!

Here is a picture of their first bath together... Palmer has to sit in the bath seat because he likes to go swimming with his face under the water. :) That scares Mommy too much, so he is confined. They have SO much fun at bath time. I think we have about a million rubber ducks!







Here are a few of our 10 month pictures... aren't we the cutest? We just loved this picture of Palmer's hand on Harrison's shoulder while they are reading a book (their FAVORITE pastime!)















And we thought this sillouhette was great. You can really see how different their heads are shaped. We went back to the sonograms and saw that too... weird. Palmer is on the left. Precious boys!

Whew... Internet Access Again!

After almost a month of hiatus, we're back online. Things have been CRAZY... my hard drive crashed, and we moved to Seagraves. Today is our 6 year wedding anniversary. We left the boys at Mimi and Papa D's house while Gran and Big Daddy treated us to a night at the Barcelona Court, and mom treated us to dinner at the Lubbock Club. We had SO much fun dining and dancing... and sleeping late!

Palmer and Harrison love their new room. Our new house has carpet throughout, unlike our old house which had hard floors everywhere. They are crawling maniacs... zooming around everywhere. We live about 2 blocks from a park... and have taken a stroller ride down there to enjoy the swings. The weather sure has been great... low 90's with mornings in the 60's! Sure is different than we're used to.

Both sets of grandparents have baby pools at their houses... the boys are such little water bugs.













Happy 4th Everyone... Please stay in touch with us!
