Another weekend in Moab







It was a weekend of motors, dirt, wind, rain, sun and fun! Brian, Terri, Brayden and Chase joined us for the first two days of "camping" at the Roufa's house in town. The boys had lots of fun running out in the yards and playing in the loft. Terri and I had a wonderful walk while the boys went riding. Rob, Sheila, Eli, Gideon, Mom, Dad, Tim and Tompkins' friends from Denver Amy and Christian came out for the weekend. The weather was mixed, but the company was great. All of the boys played great together and I am pretty sure we did not make many friends in our campground with our constantly moving motorized group. Dylan is a dirt eating machine, he had fun playing in the tents and taking naps in his stroller. There was lots of good four wheelin' on surrounding trails and even some unmotorized hiking, everyone had dirty smiles on their faces!

The weekend before, we went down and rafted on the Uncompahgre River in Ridgway and had a wonderful float. It has been a good couple of weeks and we are in constant summer motion. Now it just needs to quit snowing!

Mother's Day




Trevor and Colter made me a wonderful breakfast and a cute card while Dylan fed himself some rice puffs and bananas. All is good and Trevor learned rice puffs first then bananas next time! We spent the afternoon up at the ranch that Rob and Sheila are managing. We played with motorized vehicles (hmmm.. wasn't this supposed to be Mother's Day?), flew some kites, ate food and ran around. It was a beautiful day and Colter fell asleep at 6:30 pm on the way home and slept all night, so we did our job of tiring him out. Isn't that a cute pic with all four boys staring off at the Wilson's? Or are they looking at a bug, so hard to tell.

Back Home

After three weeks, two weeks more than planned, we are back in Telluride. We did have some great visits with family and friends and Colter was able to find playmates all over the place.
Papa's service was wonderful and very well attended. All of the grandkids had something to say, and I haven't had to speak in front of that many people since high school graduation! Nana is a strong woman and I know that she will be OK.
We are happy to be home and the kiddos are settling back in to their normal routine. Did I say normal? Well, whatever it is we usually do anyway. Thanks for all the phone calls and emails, it is always nice to know that you all care.
Next up..... some nice weather? Maybe a trip to the desert? We'll see.
