Colordao Trip!!

We got home last night from spring time in Colorado, and returned to winter in Wyoming! Luckily the weather was nice yesterday so we were able to travel home with no problems! We had a really fun time in Colorado! We met the rest of the family in Montrose at the airport to welcome Presten home! It was so much fun to see him after two years, and for Taylin to finally get to meet him! We really enjoyed being able to spend the week with him and to hear of his experiences from his mission! Once we got to Gunnison the guys got to work ripping out the bathroom! Besides the bathroom, they also tore the floor out from the entry way and the fire place area, and replaced it with new tile! So it was a pretty big size project! But by the end of Wednesday it was very close to being done! On Wednesday Josh surprised me with a night away! Grandma and Grandpa kept Tay, and Josh took me to the Grand Lodge in Crested Butte where we spent our honeymoon! It was so much fun! Unfortunately, we forgot the camera, so no pictures of Crested Butte! We had a nice dinner, soaked in the hot tub, watched a movie (without any interruption!), and walked around the mountain watching the skiers! On our way back to Gunnison Thursday afternoon, I told Josh that I felt rejuvenated and ready to go be a mom again! It was the first night I have been away from Tay since she was born, and it was so nice, but I missed her like crazy and was so excited to see her on Thursday! I think Grandma and Grandpa really enjoyed their time with Tay as well! Grandpa took her to breakfast and then took her to work to show her off! Then Grandma took her to work to show off, and then to lunch at the park! While we were there we also got to catch a couple of Trenten's baseball games! The weather was beautiful the whole week, definitely spring time there! Here are pictures of the trip! Enjoy! Welcome home Elder Dickinson!
