First Annual Jones/Kessler/Campbell Reunion

Ouray Colorado - October 11-16



Went on a fun family trip to Colorado with the Kessler's to visit the Jones's. Brandy and Coby moved to Grand Junction about a year ago. This was our first trip out there to see them. We drove as far as Grand Jct. to their house on Thursday stayed the night and then got up and drove with them to their friends vacation home in Ouray. Oh my gosh beautiful! Lets just say it was such a fun, relaxing way to spend the weekend! Did a little fishing on the most beautiful private lake, TOTALLY MY KIND OF FISHING!!! You could pretty much catch a fish everytime you threw your line in. The kids LOVED it...ok and so did mom.







Had a serious fish fry for breakfast/lunch. I couldn't bring myself to touch the fish head but Brandy came pretty close to having Ry kissin it!


this is where i sat a read a book....ahhhhh!




We even had the boys singing and doing dishes together.


Here are the kids warming up by the fire after playing outside in the rain with their dads. For the sake of this being a family site I won't post the pictures of the boys playing basketball in the rain. Their shirts got a little heavy being so wet and all...so clothes started comin off.....i know..iknow...if your really dying to see them, i can email them to you :o) let me know!


Sunday we drove into the town of Ouray to check out some cool sites and scenery.


We ate like royalty for every meal. This kitchen had like 20 sets of different dishes, we ate with a different color every day.

So ya know when you get so behind on something that it becomes too overwhelming... so you just continue to put it off. That would be the story of my life but right now i'm talking about this little blog i've started and PROMISED myself to keep up with. So were gonna do a quick October overview...

October 4-7 I went on a little girls weekend to Lava Hot Springs with 8 other little ladies (what a bonding experience!). We rented this cute little house where we just hung out, played lots of games, and ate lots of junk food by day and soaked in the private hot pools by night. Left the little ones home to spend the weekend with dad. That meant lots of cold cereal, McDonalds happy meals, and matinee movies. They love it when dads in charge. (ps. I forgot my dang camera...unbelievable, i know, so i'm still working on getting some pictures from the other girls)

Cole's Birthday at the Circus

Coles birthday was a little different this year than the previous 4. we've always had a big birthday party with friends and lots of presents, cake and ice cream. this year i decided to go a little smaller. I told him he could pick one very special friend to go the circus with. He picked Natalie...of course! If you ever ask Cole who his best friend is or who he is going to marry...he would say NATALIE! They've been best friends since birth and have always had a special little bond. (its so cute) So we met Natalie's mom, dad and little brother Brady and went to the circus! It was a bello bello bello bello BRATION! If you know anything about the barnum and bailey's circus you would know what i'm talkin about! whew...lets just say it was a crazy good time!





Ry was mesmerized by the clowns! She just didn't know what to do when they tried to give her five. She had front row seats for the pre-show and LOVED it!
