LOVIN' LIFE

So, I'm a little behind in the blogging world but Kendra is no longer cooperating at the library. She's into everything and doesn't have the attention span that she used too. Anyway - we had a great 4th of July. We had dinner with our new friends, the Savios! Then we all headed to Memorial park in the Springs for the big fireworks! They had an orchestra show first and then played throughout the huge firework show. Kendra loved them and then half way through fell asleep all snuggled up with her Daddy. I'm really ticked right now because I just deleted some pictures of the people who went with us and now there's nothing I can do about it.

We're having a great time here and live in the most beautiful place you can imagine. We have deer that come in and sleep under our trailer and a few days ago while eating dinner our neighbor coaxed a doe and her two fawns to eat out of his hand. Then the mom got so brave she took a few steps into his trailer to get some more.

Kendra is getting so smart! She pulls her self up to everything, climbs the stairs, insists on feeding herself and now started to copy what we say. Her newest word is Daddy instead of Dada. It's too cute. This family picture was taken by our personal photographer, Mr. Timer! He's good right & cheap too. Nick probably gets sick of doing this but he'll thank me when he's an old man and all sad that his babies are grown. Well, my half our is about to expire so have a great weekend and can't wait to see all of you soon!!

MISS KENDRA, THE BEAUTY QUEEN

I ventured out to the nearest Kiddie Kandids to get Kendra's pictures done, and they turned out great. It isn't hard to get a good picture when you have a gorgeous baby :) She is such a smiley girl and growing up way too fast...we'll enjoy her while she's happy because if she's anything like her momma, she's sure to give us a run for our money!

What we've been up to!

I don't really have a lot to blog about. Our day's consist of taking Honey for walks, going to the library, the park & every Wednesday we do the Farmers Market which is kind of fun. We've also been sampling the different springs around here. The locals swear by it but I'm not convinced. There are several springs downtown and they've restored all of them and made them into historical markers. Anyway - the water is naturally sweet and carbonated. I'm not sure how that's possible but it really is. The first time we tried it, we were disgusted but we tried a different spring yesterday and it wasn't so bad. People say it's great for you but it's an aquired taste.

Kendra makes this face a lot lately. It's cute until somebody stops to say hello and she throws them this look. Nick says it looks like the face Grandpa Holm makes when he teases her. Kendra is also pulling her self up to stuff & getting mobile. She can pretty much get anywhere she wants but it's still the belly crawl. She also waves to everyone we meet and can say Hi, Mama, Dada, Baba, & Num. She is so dang cute but it's really hard not being around other kids here. The only time we get to play with other kids is at church & yes we've been going. Those mormons are gonna get us if we don't watch ourselves!! Love you all and miss you more:)

We made it!!

Despite the "shortcut" we took to get here & a few kinks with our new home, WE MADE IT. I guess the more surprising news is that we're still married & no talk of divorce is in the air. We live in Manitou Springs just next to Colorado Springs. It's beautiful here & there's a million things to see & do. Trailer life ain't too bad beside the frequent wildlife encounters. Come to find out, the nice owners of the RV park (where we live) informed me not to leave garbage out & stressed the importance of keeping Honey on a leash because of the "critters" they have. So I'm thinking squirrels, deer, the occasional skunk. Nope, we have BEARS and they have names. In fact the third day we were here, Nick was outside draining the sewer when a bear came through camp & asked if I wanted to come see it. He knows I'm terrified of bears and thinks he's hillarious. Anyway - I didn't go see it & now everytime I take Honey out I'm looking over my shoulder so I don't end up on the 5 o'clock news.

So besides the bears, things are going great. I'm at the library & I only have 6 minutes left so I better wrap this session up. I can't post pictures here so sorry. Have a great day!!

My New House

Here is my new house on wheels, as promised! It has everything a girl could ask for: a master suite w/huge closet, a full kitchen w/pantry & a "real" dining table, an extra bedroom for Kendra of course (complete with bookshelves, closet, sofa bed & three bunks), a flat screen TV w/surround sound, a ceiling fan, another sofa bed, & my personal favorite ................. CENTRAL VAC!! This is gonna be some rough campin' girls (ha ha). Starting tomorrow I'll be official Trailer Trash & I have to say, I'm quite excited about it.

Nick will be here in a few hours & we haven't seen him for over 2 weeks so I better take a shower. Anyway, we'll miss everyone & hope you all have a great summer. I'm not really sure when I'll get internet out there so don't harrass me if I don't blog & those of you who read this & don't have a blog - get going on one. Blogging is my sanity and you don't want to be the reason for my mental breakdown do you? Love you guys!
