Climbing Mountains and Not Stairs

The last two weeks have brought some great adventures for us! We finished June by beginning our annual trip to our condo in Wildernest, CO (there is a link to it on the side of this page). I alway love going to CO because there is so much to do, winter or summer. We arrived on June 27th and spent the next 10 days playing above 9,000 feet! I got to fly fish 7 days and climb another 14er (Mt. Bierstadt), we white water rafted, took two day hikes, and of course did some shopping. It was great to spend time with family and friends. Tara's grandma Albie came for the first time and had a great time. Caleb and his cousin Cole had fun playing together as well. As for fly fishing, it was amazing. I just love it and having the Blue River within 5 minutes of our Condo is amazing! It is what they call it, a Gold Medal River, meaning excellent fly fishing! I caught at least one fish each day, and usually more. It is one of the most relaxing things I do, and is great for a vacation.

Our time in Colorado came to an end on Saturday July 7th. We flew back to L.A. and promptly were welcomed back by the airline losing only Caleb's carseat...luckily we were being picked up by a friend in our SUV with the other seat. (I finally got the seat back on Thursday of this week btw.) Our adventure though was just picking up steam! On Sunday morning, July 8th we moved for the 4th time in our 7+ year marriage. Tara was 'promoted' and with that came a living area change at Pepperdine. We accepted this with open arms because the new place is HUGE! 1500+ square feet, 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, dining room, living room, washer and dryer, double oven, two yards/patios, and sweeping views of the ocean! It is probably one of the nicest places we will ever live (on the open market it would sell for 2 million (yes MILLION) or more)! We just got the office partially set up yesterday, thus I can now do this. It is nice having an office outside of Caleb's room!

There are new pictures uploaded to the photo album. Make sure to check them out. In there are pics of the 14er, our CO trip, the view from our dining room (and living room as well)...and more Caleb injuries. Let's just say, he likes to "hike" and while hiking outside our condo he fell on a rock! Tara and I thought it was going to be the emergency room but it didn't bleed or cut open. But it was again, the worst yet! Oh to have a little boy...
