Colorado Trip and Visitors

I'm a little behind as usual in getting things posted! The first weekend in October, Isaac had to go to Denver to do a site visit for work. After checking flight deals and seeing how cheaply we could fly from Austin to Denver, we decided to all join him and make a little vacation out of it, especially after we realized we would all be able to fly free between Isaac's ticket being paid for by his company and flight rewards and credits paying for the other two! What a sweet deal! We rented a car in Denver and drove to Rangely to visit Grandma and Grandpa Byers for the weekend. We really enjoyed getting to see them and Molly, Amanda, and cousins.






We thoroughly enjoyed all of Grandma's great cooking and the boys enjoyed the swingset outside. Even Jaiton got some of Grandma's homemade applesauce and loved it!






After a great visit in Rangely, we headed back to Denver so Isaac would be there for his site visit the next day. We actually stayed in the same hotel we stayed in when we were married in Denver in 6 years ago and visited the Denver Temple where we were married. It was really neat to go back with the boys and reflect on how much we've been blessed! Here are the boys being goofy in the hotel room. Jaiton was so funny in the little hotel crib! He looked like he was in baby prison!




Here's us at the Denver Temple. It's so beautiful!





After returning home from Colorado, our good friends, The Hansens, came to visit us from San Antonio. We miss them a lot and really enjoyed their visit! Bryson and Maxwell had a blast and I think McKenna got in on some of the fun!





While the Hansens were visiting, Jason took Bryson and Maxwell behind our shed in the backyard to play and build a fort. While they were back there they discovered we had another little guest that wasn't so welcome! It was actually quite huge and disgusting!



Isaac had to dispose of it (to put it nicely)! Afterward, Bryson asked if the rat went to go visit his cousins! :) Too cute!

Anyway, we are all doing well. The boys are just growing up too fast. Bryson is planning his 3 year birthday party and has more personality than he knows what to do with! Jaiton has started crawling and getting into everything already. He is a very large, happy, 6 month old. They keep me busy and entertained to say the least! Besides the boys, I am doing quite a bit of running and really enjoying it. I am training for a 10k in November and my first half marathon in December-we will see how that all goes. Isaac is doing very well in his job and stays way too busy. Poor guy is constantly going between his responsibilities at work, church, and home. One day he'll get a break!
