Sept. 27th

This week has been all about Dylan it seems. His 4th birthday is on Sunday (30th). He wanted to go to a hotel and he wanted to go fishing. So last weekend we took him fishing. Kristian had a sleep over at a friends house last Friday night, so he didn't get to go with us. We took Dylan up to Manitou lake up by Woodland Park. All he really wanted to do was cast the pole and reel it in. By the end of the day he was a pro at it! He had a great time. Afterwards we went to eat and stopped by Old Colorado City for ice cream. Oh and by the way, we didn't catch anything! But it was still fun and RELAXING!

Last night we gave Dylan his birthday gift since we will be gone this weekend. It was a four wheeler. He loves riding ours, so there was no question what to get him. His of course is much smaller than ours, but fits him perfectly, as you can see in the picture. He rode past the sun going down last night and didn't get off until he ran out of gas! It has a kill switch on it, which is why Mike has a leash hooked to it, so he can't get too far away from us. He kept saying he wanted to go as fast as he wanted. But his dad informed him that wasn't happening just yet! He drove really good! I couldn't believe how well he turned and slowed down. I was impressed.

Kristian is doing well too. He is still liking school and hanging out with his friends. His grades are all good, which I hope that they stay that way, because his dad told him if he gets bad grades, he has to get his hair cut the way his dad wants it! So I think his grades will continue to be good. Although I did remind Mike that his hair wasn't that short in school either. I guess I shouldn't have brought that up in front of Kristian though. Ooops!

We are leaving tomorrow to go to Alamosa for the weekend. It is about 4 1/2 hours southwest of here. We are taking the scenic route and hope to see lots of fall colors along the way. We are going to go to the Great Sand Dunes on Saturday. This is the other part of Dylan's birthday to stay in a hotel, so he can't wait! I will have lots of pictures from this weekend to post.

Well I hope that everyone has a great weekend. Until next time....
