1st Rockies Game

We loaded up and headed to Denver for the baseball game. 

Due to the Friday afternoon traffic we were unable to hit up our planned dinner spot so dogs at the game, well at least the bun for H. 

Cotton candy, in the house!

I said: look at mommy!

Now for both guys (for a split second)

Sisters!  Only 28 years apart. 

And a tornado! This one's for the father-in-law!

Here son, this is how to crack a sunflower seed shell without using your teeth. Now good luck and stop eating the shell. 

And lights out!

45 days!

We've gone silver

Time to start cooking. No excuses anymore, we unpacked the new pots and pans. 

The house

Well we are here and we had an empty house for about an hour. I snapped a few shots before we filled it up with boxes. 

The front door view

Kitchen

Main level

Stairs

Up or down?

Master

And bath

Laundry

Basement with bedroom and bath

Shelter from the storm

And the tandem garage

And I can't leave out the view on my way to Costco

We made it!

Getting closer - Wind turbines

A sure sign we are getting closer, wind turbines. My boys' first view of the giant electricity producing machines I have been working with for 3 years. 

East to West

We just crossed the mighty Mississippi where East meets West. This is also where we pick up I70 for almost 800 miles. In one day we went  from Easterners to Westerners, but will always be Southerners! 

Ridin high

Both boys got to go with daddy!  Just me and the pups. 

Illinois pause

We even stop to play. Rest area just inside Illinois had a playground!

Goodbye Charlotte

We close a chapter of our lives today as we leave Charlotte. We began this chapter in our house in April 2005. It was the first house we ever bought. We have gained two boys, Rebel and Dixie plus their 12 puppies and have lost Precious and our best girl Crissi. Looks like everyone is finally ready.
