I will always be an Idaho girl, but I have to say I have fallen completely in love with Colorado over the last 6 years! And we think we are here to stay. We moved from Fruita to Grand Junction over Labor Day weekend. It feels like a dream. Many many miracles occurred over the last several years for us to realize this enormous blessing. It has been a journey for us to come to this place, and humbling to feel so surely that this is the very spot God has been preparing for my little family to come to for a very long time. We are loving every moment of it! My TV is never on and my kids play outside every spare minute they can. I think we moved to heaven :) Here are a few pictures of our little corner of the world:
 |
| Rebekah calls this technique her "belly swing". This girl will always love swings I think :) |
 |
| She wrote a story this week called, "Big Push, Big Push How Does She Do It?" It is all about swinging as high as the treetops. |
 |
| Begging to take a picture of me . . . |
 |
| . . . Getting her way (as usual). |
 |
| My camera is so inadequate to capture this place. I was trying to get the first rays of morning sun hitting on the Colorado National Monument (we are looking to the west here). |
 |
| Hee hee, our evil plan is already in progress! |
 |
| Rebekah has named this spot "the sacred grove". So cute and sweet that she would think of that. |
 |
| Our house . . . Just kidding. But it was SOMEONE's house a very long time ago. Burke wants to make it watertight and turn it into a little shop/shed |
 |
| My new bunny friend |
 | |
| The future home of a BIG garden I hope! |
 |
| I didn't take any pictures of the house except this one! We love our little "grandma house" too! I will take pictures when we are a bit more settled inside. This is the driveway down our little hill out to the road. |
 |
| And looking up the driveway! |
 |
| More swinging on this amazingly huge cottonwood tree. I think it needs some trimming! This tree was thought to be about 180 years old by the previous owner. He grew up on this spot of land and can remember this being a huge tree when he was a five year old boy. |
 |
| More huge trees out by the road. |

| Same trees looking out across the sod farms toward the Monument. So exciting to see sunsets again! |
