August 2008

Brady and I traveled to Colorado to visit my family this August. We stayed almost the whole month! It was tough being away from Travis, but it was really nice to spend time in warm weather with my family since we usually visit in winter!

We took several trips to see my dad at work, where Brady became an expert backhoe operator!

Probably the biggest hit of the trip was the "4-da-weeda"...almost nightly rides with anyone who would take him. If he was big enough he would take himself because he sure knew how to operate it! And if you did it wrong, he would tell you just how to do it.

We spent some time in Colorado Springs with Travis' mom and step-dad Ray. Brady made a point to go outside and show off his football skills. Including tackling Grandma Janice when she was least expecting it!
Grandpa was great to spend so much time with Brady and teach him new things. My sister and I used this mini bow and arrow set when we were young. Brady thought he was pretty big stuff to be able to shoot after watching Grandpa shoot his big bow!
Oh yes, the water hose and mud! How many nights were we having "patio time" watching Brady play with water or mud or dirt or any combination of the three?! You know that was a good time!
It was sweet to see my parents with Brady. Funny thing happens when parents become grandpartents! LoveYall!

We had a great time in Colorado and can't wait to see everyone again soon!
