Colorado Update
Here is our Colorado Update:
Monday we went to Peak 8 Breckenridge Fun Park. This was a fun day, except for the sun burn. You forget how much closer you are to the sun, until you get the sunburn which burns for days. At the fun park we went alpine sliding; gem hunting; ran a maze; played miniature gold; jumped on a bungee trampoline; and rock climbing.
Tuesday was filled with a train ride from Leadville. We went up about 1,000 feet. It was about a 2 hour ride and was filled with beautiful mountain scenery.
Still having a great time. More updates to come.
PS Sorry pictures are having a difficult time uploading. You will just have to trust me. It was a fun couple of days.

Califoria to Colorado
We have officially made it to Breckenridge, Colorado. We are already having a GREAT time, but really enjoyed our trip out here. It usually takes about 15 hours (straight through) to get here, but we decided to leave on Thursday and make some stops on the way. Here is a summary of our trip:
We stopped in Winslow, Arizona to look at a Meteor Crater. It was huge and unimaginable how a big rock from space landed there millions of years ago. What do you know?
Lastly, we went to the Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge. We were able to take an incline railway down to the river, ride an aerial tram across, and walk and drive across the bridge. This was a fun experience.
So, now we are in Breckenridge (by the way-the house is everything we thought it would be...thank you Jerel and Nieta), and our days will be filled with more fun. Updates to come.

Our next tourist stop was the Four Corners. This picture says it all.
We then went to the Great Sand Dunes near Alamosa, Colorado. This is really a beautiful site to see.

Summer Vacation Number 2, 2010
We are lucky this year to enjoy two summer vacations...Kansas and Colorado.
Next week, we will be leaving to meet the Devor Family in Breckenridge, Colorado. This vacation will include some amusement park fun, white water rafting, train ride, and alpine sliding. We are all looking forward to the trip and spending time with the family. But my shallow side must come out, I am really looking forward to the house. It is beautiful! Jerel and Nieta found this house, and I can't wait to see it in person. Here is a preview!
So, if I don't return in a couple of weeks you will know where to find me. I will be in the wing back, leather chair next to the floor to ceiling picture windows reading a book and drinking wine. Please knock before entering! Happy SUMMER VACATIOIN everyone!
(Don't be jealous you Hawaii and Caribbean island vacationers)

Kansas Week
Okay...so here they are. Although the Moseley wedding in Kansas was GREAT, we did do more than just wed the cute couple. Here are the highlights. I love you Kansas family...looking forward to the next trip out.
We rode on Grandpa Kansas new ATV (the boys loved the new toy)
Grandpa Kansas put the boys to work
We went to a T-Bones game and I "Danced for my Dinner" 
The FAB 5 hung out
Spent quality time with the family (Mom-this one is for you!)
and just did Kansas the way Kansas do!

Moseley Wedding
I AM DETERMINED to make this work. Here is another attempt. I couldn't use the song so there is no music. You can keep the IPod on the sidebar on or just sing along to your favorite tune. HA!! HA! My outdated technology is making me VERY unhappy today!
UPDATE: Apparently I am using a song which has a copyright block...who knew. I need to do some trobule shooting, because I am having some additional problems also. Check back later.
This darn technology!!
Since returning from Kansas we haven't done much of anything. It has been nice to sit around the pool, catch up on reading, edit wedding photos, and just take it easy. I will post the road trip pictures soon. But in the meantime, here is a video montage of the Moseley Wedding. We all had a great time and are SOOO excited to have Michael Moseley officially part of our family. We love you both Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Elizabeth Moseley.
PS Be sure to mute the IPod music on the sidebar FIRST, so you can hear the wedding video music.

"Party's Here" (Thank you Snooki)
Brandi (30 something), Luke (16 years old), Holt (14 years old), Juan (16 years old), and I (30 something, but nearly as old as Bran) will begin our road trip to Kansas on Saturday!
1 car
5 people
3,000 miles round trip
+/- $500 worth of gas
4 bottles of California wine (not to drink while driving, unless an emergency arises)
1 case of water
1 bag of trail mix
Memories...Priceless
I am getting super excited for this trip. The drive is not our favorite part, however, we look forward to the memories to be made (the good, bad, ugly, and stinky).
See you soon Kansas!
Love you!
