Dillon and stuff
I haven't posted for awhile because I have been sick and we have been a little preoccupied with this game:
It is a blast we also got a second wheel. Driving with the wheel is so much easier than with a joystick!. It is a great game. They have even taken some of the courses from the older nintendo game systems and changed them a little bit! The have also included bikes as well as the karts. It is so much fun I recommend this to all with a Wii or access to a Wii.
We were given a bufee. We are still looking at figuring out what we are going to keep there but this is how we have is set up right now.
They have decided to paint our conplex and this is what one building looks like from our porch.
In this pic you can see the green which is fine until you put next to the pumpkin, and the cream is alright as well.
This one you can see the pumpkin a little better and the red doors with the green background. YUCK!
This one you can see the red better and on the left side our unfinished trim, that I just can't wait for them to finish so we can put our stuff back out on the porch.
And to end this all I have some fun pics of Dillon holding his bear that he loves. He really tries to take care of his bear like we do with him. It is so cute!
This is Dillon when he fell asleep on the couch he is so cute!

Tornadoes and Toddler bed
There were 2 tornadoes here in Colorado that hit 2 miles east of Castle Rock in other words close to us. I was able to see the end of it and this is what I saw:
Also someone in the ward gave us a toddler bed frame, we were able to set it up on Saturday and he has been taking his naps and going to bed there. It actually hasn't been as hard as I was expecting it to be.
We are now Finally able to get into his dresser, ever since Mikel moved his office here we had it blocked off.

Breckenridge!
This past weekend we dropped Dillon off at Mikel's family's house and we headed up to Breckenridge for the weekend. We won the trip with Aflac and I was quite excited to go. When we got there we got our room and it was nothing like we expected, We walked in to this:
The Living room, with fireplace and patio
More living room
The Kitchen, yes I know kinda hard to believe, but it was fully stocked with everything you need to make whatever you want, excluding the food of course :)
This was our Aflac gift the State Sales Cooridnatior gave a bottle of wine (no we don't drink), two glasses, See's chocolates and a thank you card with a C-note in it.
The bathroom
The bedroom
We went to a nice dinner that night with a auction, man they had some pretty cool stuff that was going up for auction, unfortunatly we didn't have enough money to bid or we may have. The dinner was alright the dessert was the best. After that we danced for a bit and enjoyed our night.
The next morning, Saturday, we were not sure what was going on so Mikel called his District sales Coordinator, and went out to breakfast with a few people from the region. It was great food, I would definatly got there again. The place was called Columbine Cafe, so if you ever make it up there try it out. After breakfast we were going to go up to the alpine slide, but it was closed I was disapointed. We ended up going to jump on the tramp with bungies, but by the time it was our turn it was starting to rain so we had to wait. We then walked through the shops that were there and got cold because we forgot to bring jackets. So we went and got Sweatshirts/hoodies for $15 a pop, we also got a bear for Dillon. Later we walked into another store that had the same hoodies that were $30 each, so we got a great deal! Later it stopped raining and we went back to jump, and we actually made it this time. It was so much fun, the first time just makes your stomach jump you don't quite expect to go so high.
Me jumping and loving it!
Mikel jumping!
Then we decided to take a hike in the mountains right behind our resort.
This is Bever Run Resort, and this is the exact building we stayed in.
More Bever Run, there were 4 buildings this is 3&4, (3 on the right and 4 on the left)
Love this view in the mountians.
Look you can see the resort.
Me in the mountians
Mikel in the mountians
Pretty waterfall
That night we went to dinner with the region and swam in the pool. The pool was great it was actually a heated pool it was great!
Sunday morning we went to church, after that went down to the pool again. Then we decided it was time to go and see our little boy again so we left and picked him up. We had a great time there. Dillon also did well for his grandparents, I was glad to hear it. He was so happy to see us!

4th of July and more!
I know I haven't posted for awhile so this will be a long one with pics!
About a week ago my brother came home from Tahiti and boy that day was quite entertaining. That afternoon we met over at my families house to ride together to go to the airport to pick up Hunter. His plane was scheduled to arrive at 2:37pm so we were at the airport at 2pm and waited until it arrived. We were watching the status of the flight and noticed that it had finally landed, we got excited and waited. While we were waiting we saw another family who was waiting for their daughter also coming home from Tahiti and was holding a banner that said "Welcome Home" we found out that they were LDS and their daughter was also on a mission there in Tahiti. While Mom was speaking to them they got a call from their daughter saying that they missed that flight and that they were on stand by for a flight expected to arrive at midnight. They took our numbers to get ahold of us just in case they made an earlier flight. We then went to dinner at the Golden Corrale. Basically an all-you-can-eat buffet. We also made it for the best time to pay the lunch price and get the dinner menu, in other words STEAK! We ate well there and while there we got a call from the siste missionary's family saying that they got on a plane scheduled to arrive at 7:30pm. After dinner we went to a park so that we didn't have to go all the way home just to go all the way back to the airport. While at the park Dillon went down the slide then proceded to scale the slide. I found it quite funny that he actually was able to make it up. When we finally got back to the airport we watched for the plane to arrive and while so doing i heard an announcement for my parents, I told me mom and she went crazy! We found a phone to use to find out what the message was. We found out that there was a guy that came in from Tahiti looking for Hunter because he will be staying with him. We looked for him for a little bit but couldn't find him. So we watched for Hunter. When we finally found him he was walking up with the Siste missionary that he was traveling with. I was so excited to see him again. After we got his luggage and got everything put together and we caught up all the way home.
The 4th of July/my birthday was a great day! We went to Mikel's families house to pick up his little sis and her boyfriend so that we could go to Mikel's grandparents house. We had a pretty good ride up there, until some idiot in an American Furniture Warehouse semi truck decided to turn on his blinker and try to move over just seconds after he turned on his blinker. He tried to cut us off. Mikel had to slam on the break and it was not a pretty sight luckly there was noone behind us. We made it safely to the grandparents house and had a good time. We ate hamburgers and brauts and had alot of ice cream. Here are some pics:
Saturday we had some friends over and we played some Wii and went to the pool. I wasn't sure how Dillon was going to take to the pool this time knowing that las time he wasn't all that intrested. He acutally loved it. He splashed and played and had a good time. He enjoyed being in the water. Then he got cold and it was time for him to get out so I got out with him and went to the hot tub he was wrapped up in a towel and I put him on a chair and watched him while we were in the hot tub. He was actually trying to fall asleep. It was so cute. Anyway it was a great day!
Here are some random pics of Dillon with his dad's hat and sunglasses on.
