Autumn in the Rockies!

Saturday the kids and I were able to attend my Grandma Wheatley's 90th birthday party. She looked great and is still has spry as ever. She has always been a go-getter and is a great example to me. I hope to be able to raise my family and instill good morals and values in my children the way she did. I am proud to be part of her legacy. Happy Birthday Grandma!

What a busy week we had this past week. It seemed we had every day packed full trying to get things done before the storm hit. Mainly we were concerned about getting our wood split and stacked before it got buried in the snow. So last Wednesday we rented a wood-splitter and got down to business. Thankfully Dave's good buddy Brandon came and helped us out and we were able to get our year's supply of wood put away. Wyatt and Kiersten were eager to help and put in just as much effort as the rest of us did. Coy took a good long nap while we worked, which was nice not to have to worry about him under-foot. We were sore at the end of the day, but felt good about what we accomplished. It's always fun to work together as a family.
