A New JR Update

 My favorite band came again and JR took a selfie for me.

I love when they play because there's always videos to find of JR (or them mentioning JR)

JR says the softball teams are his favorite because they always participate and have fun.

And then Steven and his family came to visit JR.  They have certainly grown up!

It was fun to get this video from them the other night.

Running Camp #2

 Reed spent his second week in Colorado in Keystone at a trail running camp he did last year.  He knew how hard it was going to be and wanted to go back.   They did super fun things like a 12 mile run with the first 6 miles up hill. 

He came home covered in scratches.  You can clearly see one of them here.

I wanted to include this one so he can look back one day and see just how skinny he was!

First One

 Well....the first college acceptance has arrived. 

Wild Animals

 Here's all the wild animals we saw in Colorado. (Some more impressive than others)

I was actually shocked at how big this ground hog was! 

I thought they were a lot smaller.  

And the foxes are very cute, as long as they are a safe distance from me and Chloe is nowhere around!

Mountain Goat Hike

 We did the Moutain Goat Hike (named because we saw some mountain goats there many years back and we don't know the name of the actual trail).  

Jason and I went up higher than we've ever gone before, and Reed went even higher. 

Reed got some amazing pictures from up high.

Jason and I made it up to the snow line.

And Chloe was ready for a cold mountain water bath after leading the way the whole time! 

Update #4- Jason and Me

 Jason and I went over to spend the night in Aspen with some friends while Reed was at camp.

We had never been to Aspen, and I think we saw almost all the important things. 

Update #3- JR

 JR is doing all the same JR things. 

Update #2- Reed

 Reed was at running camp last week in Colorado Springs, where he had lots of "fun".

Reed is easy to find, he's the shirtless, skinny one.  (Ha, Ha!) 

He's behind the boy in the navy shirt. 

If you know Reed, he'll be near the dog.  

He's the one behind the girl in the black tank top to the right of the dog. 

Update #1- Kyle

 I'm super behind on updates, so here is the latest on everybody.

Kyle is busy working as a fishing deck hand.  I'm not sure he's getting to do lots of fishing, but I think he's getting do lots of cleaning.

But just look how cute his house is! 

Gulf Shores #4

 Other parts of JR's job include:

Leading singalongs

And dancealongs

And anything else he gets asked to do...

Gulf Shores #3

 JR has lots of "bits" he does.  

This is his main one for birthdays.

Then he has all the moms dance and then the dads dance.  After the moms dance he has the kids go hug their moms.

Here I am getting a hug as his "mom that came all the way from Texas".

During the day they play games, this one is movie/tv theme song trivia. 

Which he called on Kyle to answer a question...

Then, there's the nightly napkin toss, which never gets old 

(except for the servers that have to clean them up).  

Pre napkin toss...

Post napkin toss...

Gulf Shores #2

 So we got to see lots of JR doing his job, but we also got to spend a day out on water.  I don't have lots of pictures, but we had lots of fun!

Gulf Shores #1

 We spent last weekend in Gulf Shores visiting JR.  It was so fun to get to go on a vacation and see JR working at the same time. 

We stayed as close to his work as we possibly could.

Here's the view from our balcony.

And here's the view of our condo from the restaurant.

But here's the best view.  All my chicks in the same nest!
