We had SOOOO MUCH FUN on our little getaway to Denver. First time trip without kiddos = AMAZING!!! But don't worry, we came back.
Here we are - first pic of the trip in our little rental car - it was 23* F when we pulled into Denver - YOWZA! We loved actually getting to use our coats.
Pete getting ready to head off to our first day at the conference.
He looks so dashing wouldn't you say??
Us together heading out the door. It was so fun to dress up like I was actually some sort of business woman - pashaw! If they only knew what a wore to my real job, haha
We took an afternoon to drive to Castle Rock to visit our old stomping ground when we lived there back in '06/'07. Here's our little apartment - 3rd floor on the right that is.
It was so great just to be us again - it feels like it's been FOREVER. Wait, it has. Not since our honeymoon in fact.
So yes, we are a little nerdier than we remember, but still loving it.
Here's our snazzy little hotel room. Hotel Teatro in downtown Denver - it was AWESOME! It was just this little renovated theatre district building but it was AMAZING. Thank you Priceline!
And here we are getting ready to head home. It got me really excited to go on our 5 year anniversary trip in April! And even the kids survived... thanks Mom!
Oh little Cal, he is turning into a little boy TOO FAST!

After we got back the stresses of the world that we had let go hit us full force in the face, so that weekend we decided to take a 1 night trip up to the cabin to reconnect with the kids. SO FUN!
I still remember climbing up these bunk beds when I was that exact age - crazy!
Oh little Cal, he is turning into a little boy TOO FAST! He LOVES the outdoors.
Paige had her next preschool fieldtrip in late October to the Phoenix Zoo.
Some sibling discovery adventure.
Badminton raquet required.

It was actually a lot of fun! Cal and I were glad to tag a long.

October is also Peter-Patrick's Birthday!!!
Happy 29th P-daddy!
We had a fantastic early morning picnic in our room, complete with Munchkin donuts, FrankenBerry (pete's fave cereal) and Rasspberry Lemonade.
Not to forget all of our bed-heads...

And later when we were making the cake, I turn around to find little Miss Paige - mouth full on the cake whisk! My sneaky little helper...
Such great memories!
