The continuation of weekend trips

So, we drove to Colorado, good thing Ben and Sami came with us because it was about an eight hour drive one way. I drove the first four hours (the boring, nothing to see desert part). Then Ben drove the last four hours (the fun drive through the canyon) but he had to drive in the dark. ha ha)) ;-)


We had a blast on the ride over to Colorado. We had a chance to listen to some awesome music from my Ipod, that was mostly enjoyed by Ben and I. We listened to music from the group "They Might Be Giants" and many T.V. show tunes like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "The Simpson's." We had fun singing along. :-)


The first thing Claire wanted to do was see baby Zach and Garrett. But we got in pretty late so they were already in bed. So, Claire had to wait till the morning. I think she was OK with that because she was very tired from the drive. We slept awesomely!!!

Brian showing us how it's done

We had such a great time hangin' with the family. We played some baseball and Brian showed us some killer lacrosse moves. Grant actually caught on pretty quick.


I loved Mom's homemade pizza, it was super good!! I loved the meat lovers!!! because I LOVED MEAT!

We took pictures but not nearly has much as we wanted too (Especially when there is a "Sami"-Professionally out there taking awesome pictures.) The family pictures came out good because Sami's camera was available to save the day when Cassy's fathers camera broke (or stopped working)
We also had a chance to play a game called "things" (well, that’s all I remember Grant telling me of the title) I'm sure he told me more but I think I zoned out)) We had a blast and we all laughed hard.


Sunday was such a special day for us. It was the one reason we were all there. We blessed Zach. It was extremely spiritual. Aaron had a lot of "dust" in his eyes. Grant has such a great spirit and loves his children very much. The blessings Zach can potentially receive from his Heavenly Father came through Grant like the spirit was directly talking to Zach himself. I was so happy to be in a circle of such great spiritual giants. Zach is in a great family and he will be greatly loved. I'm excited to get to know him through these many years.


So,  after the awesome blessing we didn't have much time left. So, we drove to Grant and Cassy's home and packed for the drive home.  Claire actually surprised me when she started tearing up. She hugged everyone. I then had more "dust" in my eyes. She gave a great big hug to her Mother and Father, and then we left for home. Claire loves her family very much and wishes we could have stayed longer. I wish we could have stayed longer too. I love hanging out with the Van Noy's.


We are excited for our next planned trip. We are planning to fly to Chicago. We hope to be visiting Claire's Mother and Father for Thanksgiving. Well, Ta ta for now!

Mom Van Noy already loves holding her new grandkid. Even Zach loves being held by her; You can tell becasue the way he's staring at her.

"OK, I understand that the screen is closed but the lock should be in a place where I can open it!"

This looks like a scene out of a comic. Grant is looking at the conversation in the living room. and the color is so cool; going from hot to cooler colors. Love it.

Pizza time!!!

Saying good by to a weekend that wasn't long enough was really hard for Claire. We love hanging out with the Van Noy's.

Baby Zach and his Mommy. Zach sort of has a GQ pose to him.

You can't tell from the picture but I'm roasted from the being out in the sun. Claire wishes she could some how sun tan.
