We had the opportunity to move back to Colorado with Chris' job and we took it. But it was a very hard thing to leave so many great friends. We didn't think that Kansas would be all that great when we got there and boy were we wrong. It was a wonderful experience for our family to be in such a great place surrounded by wonderful people for 2 whole years. We wish we could pick up Olathe and set it down in Colorado.
My amazing friends had a little going away party for me, it was a lot of fun to get together and just hang out and talk and talk about all the pointless things that we like to talk about- true friends I will miss dearly!
Here is James with his "girlfriend" Kennedy. James absolutely adores her and played with her and Claire at every soccer game. We went out to dinner with the Ruarck family before we left, the kids had a lot of fun together eating pizza at Spin, and cupcakes at Small Cakes.
Here is Kennedy, James, Claire and Mikey the night before we left. They had a little goodbye party for us, plus we had none of our kitchen stuff or food anymore at that point.
Good Friends!
Kyle, Shawn and Colin
They played on the Comets together (Soccer)
Another one of Shawn's good friends,Nile, he lived closer to us and they went to school and church together, they played any chance they could get. His mom is Carolyn, one of my really good friends.
Below is Brent as we all call him "B", James loved to play with "B" any chance he could get, this is Nile's little brother.
All the kids Parks' and Maddox's, we had a lot of fun with their family and miss them a lot. We would always spend holidays together that we didn't go to be with family, they were like our adopted family while in Kansas.
This is on the drive to Colorado, we always drove past this huge jet and never stopped to let the boys look at it, this time we actually stopped and let the boys run around and got a few cute pictures while I was feeding the baby.
I really like this one, good lookin' boys.
Well, here we are back in Colorful Colorado, although I think that Kansas is much more green than Colorado, oh well, the mountains are so beautiful, we are so glad to be back to seeing those every day.
