Time Flies!

September 2019 - we had fun flying kites at a park!

 October- first batch of snow for the season!

 Halloween was so much fun in our new neighborhood!

 I tried getting new photos of my cuties!

 November- We attended our cities Star lighting, from the comfort of our van, while drinking hot chocolate and eating Jimmy John's for dinner.

 November- I ventured by myself back to Oregon and spent a few days unwinding with my mom!

 Natalie designed her disguised Turkey!

Shelley and Craig joined us for Thanksgiving! We got to visit the first year of giving machines in Denver. We also enjoyed Zoo lights and chick flicks!

 One of the many gorgeous sunsets from Colorado!

 Mozzie got neutered the day before thanksgiving leaving him in the cone of shame.

 Natalie too cute not to take a picture of!

December- Lorelei loves this dog! I think we bought him mostly for her. She loves to cuddle and read with him at night.

 Our builders hosted Santa this year!!!! No lines, cookies and the friendliest Santa we have ever met!!! We only had to walk down the street!

 Mozzie deserved a Christmas portrait!

Riley's first band concert of the year!

 Christmas eve pj's and night that we hit the town to see the lights!

Christmas day loot!

It's crazy to think that we are now in the year 2020!!!!! Time is accelerating at warp speeds.

May we all live long and prosper this year!

First day of school!

The month of August reigns a new school year!

Natalie's start date was actually a few days after school started. Hence the reason why her first day of school outfit is not the same as the one pictured below.

These are their school pictures. Not my favorite, but they are so much fun later in life when you have them all back to back. You can see their tiny years, the geeky phases and how much styles change. They truly are a sort of time capsule. 

 End of day after 2 recesses bad hair day for Riley. 

 Natalie had a life project. We took her school picture and aged it for what she would look like in the future. We had a lot of fun in this one! Natalie was like, "I get to go to Hawaii when I'm older?" Sure kid, sure, that picture truly is your future...

End of Summer with Mozzie!!!!

Brandon and I found this adorable Bischon for a great deal and realized it was now or never. We decided not to tell the kids. We planned a "date" and told them we would bring them back a treat we had promised them during the week.

I'm glad I waited until Natalie was potty trained. Puppies are A Lot of work! I really shouldn't have gotten rid of the baby gate I had.

A week after we got him he took a little turn for the worse. We noticed a cough when we brought him home and the Vet said to keep an eye on him. By Friday he was coughing a lot and lethargic. He ended up spending one expensive day in the dog hospital with pneumonia. However, he has become a crucial part of our family and we love him!
