Happy Father's Day Nate! We love you very much!
After we left, we got to Prescott about 20 min. later and then the fun began. We went to their house and the boys fired up the grill and cooked us some awesome steaks. After that, the boys decided to go see a movie and us girls had intentions of turning on a movie, but decided that whenever we do turn one on, we just end up turning it off because we would rather talk. So that's what we did. Girl talk is awesome.
By then, all the kids were down for naps and we just chilled for a little bit. We decided to go to dinner and go shopping and then head back home. We went as planned and then while we were at dinner, our friends family called them and said that there was a fire burning in Flagstaff not too far away from our apartments. We decided that with all the smoke and everything, it was best for us to just stay another night instead of coming home to all the smoke with the kids. Our friends, the Tuckers, were with us and she was pregnant and had been having contractions all weekend. Turns out Sunday morning was her lucky day. I woke up around 4:30 and heard her and her husband getting ready to leave to go to the hospital. An hour later, I got a text message saying the baby was here. I couldn't believe she has him so quickly. Everything worked out really well and their little boy is so cute.

Rachelle and her parents stopped by too!
The last night we were there, my parents decided to do a pit fire in the backyard. They have a whole set up and it was a lot of fun. We had stuff for smores and we just hung out and talked. It was a good activity to end our awesome weekend. Thanks for letting us come Mom and Dad. We will be back soon.
P.S. - Here is our little traveler who did pretty well in the car considering it was a 5 hour trip. I'm just glad he is starting to play with toys now.
Another big thing happened while we were in Colorado. We started Kayton on rice cereal. I was so nervous about starting him and also sad to know that he is growing up so fast and that he is ready to start eating more than just milk. We left and went to the store, bought the food and the bowls and spoons and went home. I read the instructions on the box and started measuring. Thankfully, my step mom was there and not only has she had 4 kids but she is working part time at a day care right now so she was so helpful. She helped us to realize that you don't have to measure all the time and you can give him big bites. According to her, he did really good for his first time eating. He swallowed the food really good and absolutely loved to eat it. We could tell that he was ready to eat. He was always watching us eat our food and was always chomping his mouth. It's fun to try this next stage in his life. Thanks for helping us Mom and helping me and answering all my questions.
