Fun, Foreigner, Family

Last Sarurday we took Andy to his first rock concer! Foreigner! Best part was that we took his cousins Hunty and Cole 

and Uncle Jeremy.

We sugared the kids up at Krispy Creme, our favorite college midnight snack place, brought some sweet memories to Tom & I... and had a 'Who can eat the slowest' contest! Not an easy task when your talking, doughnuts!

The concert was fun, clean, and loud! The perfect rock show for our little man!

'I want to know what love is,

I want you to show me...'

CLASSIC!

Trip to Colorado

We spent 5 wonderful days in Colorado last week and had an incredible time playing. The boys loved hanging out with their cousins and grandma and grandpa Savage.

Jan, Hailey, Ally and I had 2 days out on the town-- girls only. Jan always makes sure to spoil us girls.... We ate at delicious restaurants with amazing atmosphere and food that is out of this world good, toured the Molly Brown Mansion, and saw "The South Pacific" Musical--- I loved, loved, loved it!

Here's some of the yummy food:

While the men went to the drag races, we took the little kids to Water World. That was a total blast... it's like Seven Peaks on steroids & about 10 times bigger, with thrilling rides that Andy & Sean could not get enough of. I was so amazed at how brave Sean was-- he was not scared of anything and kept saying "again" as he ran to get on the rides.

We played games, told stories around the fire, laughed, joked, and spent some quality family time.

Our trip was well overdue and I'm so glad we got a chance to visit and loved every minute of our stay! Andy & Sean keep asking when we get to go back to see grandma and grandpa---- hopefully soon, till then we'll have some great memories and pictures to remember all the good times!

We had a great weekend with family- it was packed full of fun! Eating out, playing with cousins & spending the night @ the hotel, Halloween party & trick-or-treating, Tom's B'day, & Allison's Baby Blessing.

 

 

Hunter is the oldest of the boys & he's always watching after the little ones- He & Sean have a special bond- it's super cute to see:

 

Olive Gardens- yum-yum!!!

 

Andy is the best big brother ever! He loves his little sister!

 

5 little monkeys & 1 little princess with Grandpa:

 

Colorado

We spent the last week in Denver & celebrated Jan's 50th B-day! As always it was jam packed with fun.


Pioneer Village

We took the little boys to a little Pioneer Village.

 

We walked along the river to get to the Village & Andy loved taking pictures w/ all the animal statues.

 

 

 

Sean petting a baby donkey...he was actually a little scared!

 

Grandma teaching Andy how to make a horseshoe in the olden days.

 

Sitting on a haystack.

 

This is a 100- 200 year old stove, I thought it was so neat!

 

Sean attempting to sew...he didn't get very far!

 

Chicken Coop----Sean was totally amazed!

 

Estes Park & Stanley Lake

Before the big B-day Bash, the girls went out on a little outing to Estes Park, which is home of the world renounced Stanley Hotel built by F.O. Stanley. It is absolutely beautiful and located in the mountains. The city is over 100 years old. I loved it!

 

This is the backside view of The Stanley. It is said to be haunted, so we went on a Ghost Stories tour.

 

Room 217- This is were Stephen King was inspired & wrote "The Shinning", he is said to have had all sorts of freaky experiences. I was brave enough to stand by the door. Jim Carrey himself, stayed in this room while they were filming "Dumb & Dumber". Apparently he only stayed 1 night & then asked to be moved---I guess something scared him.....

 

The Hotel was built on the mountains, so we got to go in the Underground Tunnel- It was pretty neat seeing the massive rocks the hotel literally lays on.

 

We got to see an original Stanley Steamer, invented by F.O. Stanley & his brother F.E. Stanley. It still amazes me how people 100 years ago, could ride on horse carriages to stay @ The Stanley, a car ride today takes about 30 min. uphill, back then it probably took a good 4-5 hours. Patience is a Virtue!

Isn't the view incredible--The mountain scenery is beautiful.

 

Jan's B-day Bash

Gary put together a party for Jan's 50th B-day! They even had a Blues & Jazz band to set the perfect mood. We really had a great time! Tom of course was asked to play & once the band members heard him rock on his guitar, they would not let him off stage.

 

There were tons of little boys & girls & they had a blast running around the field & roasting marshmallows.

 

Happy B-day Jan!!

 

Tommy Rockin' Out!

 

Dancing the night away....

 

 

My good friend Yara came to the party w/her hubby. It was so great seeing her, she's been my friend since 3rd grade & it had been like 9 years since we'd seen eachother. the crazy thing is it felt like no time had passed & we were just as close as always.

 

Family Time
These are just a few cute pictures of the Savage Clan

Tommy w/his youngest nephew Jack who is 2.

 

5 Boys:

 

Hunter (7), Cole (5), Andy (4), Jack (2), & Sean (1)

 

We got to go on dates one night & Grandma & Grandpa were brave enough to watch all 5 little boys. Here they are intensely watching "The Bee Movie", I love there little faces.

 

Hunter & Sean hit it off....Hunter is so good with babies & Sean loved being with his big cousin.

 

This picture of Sean summarizes our whole trip!!!
