Amanda

Amanda is so sweet and a great helper. She helps out with trash, dishes, cleaning etc. We are so thankful for her to be in our family.

Halloween Snow White

We went to a Halloween party. I wanted us to dress the same so this is what we did. Carson did his costume all by himself, like 30 minutes before we were supposed to be there! What do you think?

Carving our pumpkin we made an Elmo for Amanda.

Spinning

Look at Amanda go, She loves spinning. Carson did take out the batteries one day and she kept telling us that it "needs batteries". So now we have ear plugs.

Dad and amanda boating

Carson and his dad cutting a tree down at the school. Carson is in the red shirt. They had to push the tree with the tractor so it wouldn't fall on a powerline.

This is our trip to tennesse to see Grandpa Riggs. We were there for 2 1/2 weeks it was a blast. It was so green with ALOT of trees, if you see a spot without a tree thats because someone cut it down. The people there are so nice, gotta love that southern hospitality. It was Amanda first airplane ride, she did so good on the plane, when we came home she slept through the landing.

Carson's sister Kelli and 4 kids drove from FL to CO to visit. She was here for two weeks. We did alot of fun things, swimming, hiking, zoo, parks, etc.... Amanda loved playing with her cousins. We were so happy to see them. Here are the kids at Garden of the Gods.

Look at that pretty girl.

Carson, Amanda and I went to Quail lake to play in the canoe. At first Amanda said," mom out". We let her play in the water then she was good.

Friends for life

I have the bestest friends in the world. We were all newlyweds when we met at church in 2002. We used get together and play games on monday night when we lived close together. Now we all have kids, Juile is moving to Japan soon for 2 years, and Carla lives 30 min away in Castlerock. Travis and Julie were in town before they leave so we got everyone together to celebrate Lukes birthday(julie's son) I love you guys thankyou for your friendship.

Grandpa Riggs in town

Carson's dad came to visit. We went to the city park in pueblo for a picnic, and rides. Here we are on the train ride that went all around the park.

Carson, Dad , Chris

Carson and Amanda on the carousel Amanda loved it. I guess this one is more acceptable than the one at the zoo she screamed so bad that time that we had to stop and get off, of course it could just be that dad is more fun?





Grandpa and the grandkids . Caeven and Amanda. .

Go Karts

Carson got to go race go carts for work, Amanda and I went to watch and take pictures. It started to rain so we were waiting for it to clear up and we put Amanda in a kids kart and she was ready to go!!! The go karts are real racing karts that go about 60mph on a street course it was a blast!!!

ZOO

My mom I took the kids to the zoo. It was a nice day to be at the zoo. Amanda liked feeding the giraffes.

Jacob and Amanda riding the train at the zoo. I love that Jacob has his arm around Amanda. 2 cute!!!

Amanda's first popscile. She took a bite and put it on the ground.

I was getting ready to go the store. I told Amanda let's go bye bye. She ran to her room and got her purse. I thought it was too funny. Now she loves taking it with her.

In other news Carson got promoted twice at work he is now a team lead. That means he is a manager responsible for helping and training newer reps he also got a nice raise.
