Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's in Colorado!

A couple of weeks ago we all went to Colorado to go see Drew's family. We had so much fun visiting Grandma and Grandpa Polson and the rest of the family. We played inside with their toys, but most of our time was spent outside. It was a little cold, but overall the weather was beautiful. Jake was sick for some of the time there which wasn't fun, but a couple of days into vacation he got better. We also went to the rodeo and Aquarium, those post will come later.

Did a little 4-wheeling

Drew's parents live in the country and Cade and Jake had so much fun being able to run around everywhere.

Grandma and Grandpa Polson have a dog named Tess. Cade and Jake never left her alone. They had fun throwing her toys to her to go fetch and chasing her around. I am sure by the end of the week Tess was ready for us to go so she could rest.

Cade and Jake had a wonderful time with there cousins while we were there. Grandma Polson has a table at her house with a picture of each of her grandchildren. Cade and Jake loved looking at them. Cade really started to understand the word cousin and what it meant. So instead of calling his cousins by their names, which he knows, he would just call them cousin.

I went downstairs to see what Cade was up too one night and he and Blake were playing dress up. Cade and Blake were talking and here is how there conversation went:

Blake: Hey Cade, I am dressed like a hippie.
Cade: Me too, I am a hippo.

I couldn't help but laugh. Cade has no idea what a hippie is, so in his mind hippie, hippo same thing.

One night we went to Drew's brothers house. They have three girls and just had a brand new baby boy named Sawyer. We had so much fun hanging out together.

A little late, but Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful New Year. It was just us and we kept it low key. We made some popcorn, rootbeer floats and watched a movie. There is nothing better then spending time together as a family. We had a great 2008 year and are looking forward to making many memories in 2009.
