No, Mom this is how it goes.....






The first two are of Colter and Eli at gymnastics, the next two are in the ghost town of Tomboy (for you readers out there, the book Tomboy Bride is a good one)

We loved the last few days of summer and are welcoming the first days of fall. The weather has shifted, it was 34 degress this morning and we had ice on our windshield.

Eli and Colter are in gymnastics every Thurs. and they are doing great. They both listen to the teachers and love jumping from the trampoline into the foam pit. The car rides back and forth to Montrose have been both educational and entertaining. Almost four year old minds are a fun and exciting place and I love listening to the boys tell stories and jokes. It turns out Colter got his imagination back from Mexico and is happy to have it home. He gave me a lesson today about money. We were leaving lunch and the restaraunt had a row of those evil quarter toy/candy machines. He and Eli asked for a treat and I said "Next time if you want a treat from these machines, you should bring money from your piggy bank." Colter's answer "No Mom, let me tell you how it goes. The kid asks the grown up for money, the grown up gives the kid money and the kid buys a TREAT!" Needless to say, he didn't get his treat, but he is a very good problem solver.

Trevor's birthday was last Friday and he celebrated with a motorcycle ride with his friends and a weekend with us. We went over Imogene Pass on Monday, mostly because I had never done it before. It is the same road the boys went over a couple of weeks ago. Colter offered to hold my hand if I was scared and I took him up on it a couple of times! It was a beautiful drive and we ended up in Ouray for a late lunch and then to Ridgway for a soak at Orvis.

Colter's birthday is tomorrow. I can't believe he is already four! He is an amazing little man and I love him so much. For the last couple of months he has been planning his birthday bash. It is to be a BMX bike race party in Town Park. on Saturday.
