This is us, playing at Murdock's! For those of you that don't know Murdock's is a "farm" store in Grand Junction. We actually have a couple here in Denver, but this one is very close to where we used to live, and so we try to visit when we take a trip to Grand Jct. We ventured over the mountains the last part of our spring break It's kind of our make-believe cowboy life resurfacing. This trip to Murdock's in the spring is so much fun, because they have their spring chicks and ducks newly hatched for sale. We had a blast introducing Esaias to all the fun. Especially his first time riding a horse.
Yes, there was a couple bunnies too. The sign said do not handle, but I guess we couldn't resist! Bad Dad!
You betcha, there really are live ones in there!
Grand Junction is all about visiting our friends! This is Esaias eating from the serving spoon, on Brooke and Brian's kitchen table. Thanks for always hanging with us, and making time for us when we come!
We planned on 2 nights in GJ. We didn't plan on the extra night in Eagle. A spring storm went through the mountains and closed I-70 for a bit. We opted to stay in Eagle versus sitting on the highway in a car with 3 kids for who knows how many hours. It was a relaxing time, even if it was a surprise.Isaac has been playing soccer. He has done well, and although his team never won a game, I think he learned that he wants to pursue playing in a more competitive league. He proved to us, that he can actually play. He needs to work on some fundamentals, but he hustles and seems willing to put in the work it takes to learn and improve.
Marina & Isaac both performed in the Variety Show. Marina sang "Lollipop Lollipop" with her class. And Isaac danced to "Dynamite" in the 5th grade performance. Both did an incredible job, and had lots of fun! Couldn't get it to upload....sorry!
Marina had her first practice meet. Her next one will come this weekend, and then onto the real deal. She's excited and nervous. Stay tuned for updates on how her first season goes. Take a look
Marina finally lost another tooth. And Isaac has begun round 2 of braces. He's starting with an expander again. I thought I would spare everyone the inside look at his mouth. However, he will get his braces on this summer. We'll take pictures then.
Esaias got his 1 year old check up and is still growing tall. He took the 5 very slow shots (new nurse) like a trooper! And don't forget walking has been in our spring line up. It's so hard to catch it on camera.
I wrapped up both spring classes and have just under 2 weeks before the last 2 start up again. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!
Danny's new job is going well, he seems to like it. We are very blessed that we pursued this endeavor early. Some people that he used to work with, just got the notice that they will not be continuing the program, and that they need to look for new jobs. Thank goodness, we don't have to worry about that!
