July 2nd we hit the Road to Colorado

We hit the road in the morning and headed to Utah where we stayed with the Daltons!  He was one of the missionaries that lived next door to us when we lived in Sacramento. And it just so happened that Tallguy was going to come stay with us too! It was so fun to see them both!

The next morning we took off at the same time they were headed to work.   We made it Colorado in the afternoon. The kids cried the last 3 hours of the drive . We were beyond ready to get out of the car! Pueblo never looked so good!

The 4th of July was pretty low key since we were still recovering from the car ride. But we did do some swimming…

Grandma Evie brought over a little puppy for Ronnee to watch while she went to Cripple Creek.  She was in heaven because this dog was little enough for her to walk and for it to ride with her! And sweet Brooklyn was the cars engine!

That was about the extent of our 4th of July because Ronnee started getting the stomach bug that Tyler had. So as I am sure you can guess she was pretty pleasant for the rest of our trip and it got even better when Cutler got it!  But we still managed to have some fun…

She loved this ride last time and obviously wasn’t feeling it today. She did love the Rollercoaster! We went on it like 3 times! She also enjoyed the train ride!

Basically the rest of the time Ronnee was in her Jammies at home on the toilet. Her poor bum was so raw and she was getting so skinny!

2 of the nights we were lucky enough to have Tyler’s parents watch the kids so we could go and enjoy his High School Reunion. Friday night I came home early because Cutler wouldn’t take a bottle and Ronnee was upset. But Saturday night Cutler took a bottle and Ronnie brought him to me to nurse another time. Poor Tyler’s parents were dealing with a really crabby little girl. Thank heavens for Brooklyn’s help and the stinky puppy!

The Reunion was really fun and Tyler had a great time seeing all of his old friends. He was the life of the party as always!

Sunday Ronnee was still sick and poor baby Cutler was starting to get sick. We were all running on little sleep even though one night Cutler actually did a 7 hour stretch it was just to bad I was up every half hour with Ronnee. That sickness was kicking her trash!

Monday it actually rained in Colorado and we got to run and play in the rain!

Tuesday Morning we woke up and loaded the sick kids to make the drive to Az! I felt super bad for Tyler’s parents because they didn’t get to enjoy the fun Ronnee because she was so sick. So glad to eventually be living closer so maybe we can enjoy a vacation to Colorado where no one gets sick!
