We had a great week!! It started last Sunday when Toby got to go to "Big Boy Class" with Braden and Corrin because he is now potty trained! YES! He had so much fun, and as you can see...Braden couldn't wait to have his Toby friend with him.

 Miss Sharon brought in a hamster, and the kids loved it! Toby thought it was so "funny". We are so excited he is in Sunday school now, except a little sad that he is growing up so fast! But I do have to say, the bright side of things is I now have a fridge with crafts from my own kid hanging on it.

 After church, Grandma Randa and Papu (Greg) flew in from Spokane! We had not seen them since May, but Toby recognized and loved on them right away. He has a very special place in his heart for his grandma and grandpa. We decided to go to Telluride on Monday and ride the gondola and look at the colors changing in the mountains. It was a beautiful day. We took Toby down by the river so he could do his favorite thing in the world.......Throw rocks!

As we were getting in the car that night, I totally forgot my manners and got in the front seat and left Papu to sit in the back with Toby and Grandma Randa. I didn't even notice something was wrong until Greg started grunting and groaning climbing in the car. After a long time of apologizing, and trying to switch places with him, he insisted on riding in the back seat till we got home. Good thing it wasn't very far.

Went to the Park!!

Toby found a friend!

Another great thing about our week, was we got to see and spend time with Grandma Pat!!! All the girls and kids in our family went to lunch, and shockingly, having five kids all under the age of five, everyone did great......and remained calm!

We drove to Pueblo, Colorado for Jared's football game on Friday. The colors in the mountains were awesome, as you'll see later on. We were very blessed that Greg and Randa got to see one of Jared's games, and they even won, which was an even greater blessing! It was a close game, 22/21, we barely won! Then we all spent the night in Pueblo, and went to Garden of the gods in Colorado Springs the next day. We hiked around a little bit, and then when Toby got tired we started our journey back to MOntrose.

So Glad to be home!

 We had a blessed week, and we love our Grandma Randa and Papu, and are sad to see them leave tomorrow :(. But we know there are many more adventures with them to come. Our week this week might be a little lonelier, but we will get through it!
