Our First Zoo Trip

April 25, 2013

Our Christmas present was used to get a season pass to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.  I will say that it is steep!  Wow, you really can get a work out going up the hills.  It was pretty cool though to see how many giraffe's they had.  One was just a baby.  So cute.  We picked a busy day and had to get bused in.  The weather was a little chilly but we did have fun.

Parker was a brave kid and reached out to touch these gentle giants.  You can feed the giraffes for $2.  In comparison to Atlanta I would have to say I like Atlanta more.  Maybe it's because there are more exotic type animals.  One of my favorite animals in Cheyenne Mountain zoo is the Moose.  The lions are huge and majestic.

A little playground to play at.

On our way out the kids had a race in the strollers.  We had fun running down the hills.  All in all it was a good time and we look forward to more days at the zoo.

A Bit of Life

Spring 2013

Life does happen and sometimes it can get messy.  It's always fun though.  Here are a few pictures from sometime in the spring. :)

Where Have We Been?

July 7, 2013

It seems as if we have been on  a roller coaster for the last year of our lives.  We had a baby, Willie graduated, we moved across country, Parker started school, we visited Utah (a lot), we were sick for a month straight, and then we saw Spring.  We thought we weren't busy enough so we started looking to stay in Colorado Springs a little longer.  After doing some research and looking around we decided to buy a home.  Our very first purchased (loaned) home.  We rent no more.  This photo was taken the first day we went to look at it.  

We have kept busy by going through the process of buying a home in a months time, packing, cleaning, going to Utah yet again and then coming back to Colorado to move our things (pretty much by ourselves this time) in a weeks time.  After all of the busyness I have become sick.  Our new home was a good deal and because it was such a good deal there will be a lot to work on; but who can buy a home that doesn't need to be worked on?  So when I'm done being sick and we've moved our things in and we've had a few repairs done then I will begin posting again; trying to catch up.
