Fun Times With The Family



On Thursday, my Mom, Grandma, all of my sisters, and niece Rusti came over to visit us! We were so excited to see them! Jordyn was very thrilled when they finally arrived at about 9:30. It was so great to be around them again!

Friday we went into Montrose to do a little shopping. We stopped at Russel Stover Chocolate Factory for a few samples and to get some amazing chocolate!



Rusti was so excited to see those red balls in front of Target. We all got our cameras out to take a picture of her & Jordyn. I think the local people thought we were a little weird!

So we got a little out of control while in Target, but hey that's just what we do!

Saturday we went to a local winery. Yes, my family went to a winery, No they did not sample the wine! We went there mainly to check out some of the local jams & honey and ended up picking peaches!! We ended up picking 3 boxes of fresh peaches! It was such a fun experience. One I'm sure we are going to repeat next year!

Even Jordyn climbed the ladder to participate!

It was a ton of fun!  Later that day Jordyn and Amberlee made Halloween masks. Jordyn has been asking for awhile to put up the Halloween decorations, so doing this with Amber was exciting for her.

Also, while they were here Ashley gave the 3 of us haircuts, and me a color & a wax. I feel like a whole new person. Cody looks so much better after having his mullet cut off and Jordyn's hair looks so much healthier evened out.


This morning about 10:00 o'clock they hit the road to head home. Jordyn was quite upset when they left. She cried and was sad for about 1/2 hour. She just wanted them to stay a little longer.  I was sad to see them leave, but I was so grateful for the time that they were able to spend here.

I really do have an awesome family. We all get along so well and truly enjoy each others company. We can be doing something big or doing nothing at all and no matter what we always have a good time.  It doesn't matter how long we go in between seeing each other. We can just pick right up where we left off.  I can honestly say that my sisters are my best friends. I am so glad that we are in this family together. My parents are amazing people.  Throughout every hardship that me, my sisters or anyone else in the family may have, they are there for us without question.  I really couldn't ask for better parents.

Living so far away has made me appreciate the time I am able to spend with them. Even though Dad couldn't make it,  I am so glad they drove over to see us for just a weekend. I can't wait for the next 3 months. We are still planning on going down around Halloween, they will be coming over for Thanksgiving (and to see the baby!), and then they will get to enjoy a white Christmas here in Colorado! 


Now, it's back to a normal, boring week. A few NST's @ the hospital, a new job for Cody & of course school!
