Visitors!!

We were so happy to have visitors.... even though it was only for a little while. Randi had to be in Aspen for a few days, and when she was done, she, Kayla, and Ethan stopped by for a little while. We played in the house and outside, and then we went out to eat. Price still hasn't stopped talking about Ethan... he just loves having other kids over here.

Cripple Creek, Colorado

Oh the benefits of being an Air Force Chaplain. Ron had to say a few different prayers for a festival this past weekend. It was called Cripple Creek Salutes America's Armed Forces. As you look at the pictures, I know you can't see it, but EVERY one of the buildings in these pictures are casinos. I have never been to a place that was nothing but casinos. Our hotel (that was completely paid for!) had a casino in the bottom floor... and can I just say... it isn't illegal to smoke inside a casino!! Oh my gosh... it was so smoky. So... I know I'm supposed to be against gambling, and I totally am (unless you have a bagillion dollars!) BUT... we were right there, and so close, that I asked Ron if I could take a few dollars downstairs and play some slots. I have only been in a casino one time in my life, and Ron has some kind of theory that the only way to play is to keep your original money (my $3.00) in one pocket, and then everything that you win in another pocket, so even if you leave with $.12 you still left with whatever you won. So... and let me just clarify that he DOES NOT gamble... he didn't even go downstairs... but me... the weak one, just couldn't help myself. So... I took my little $3.00 downstairs, and 30 minutes later I was back in the room. Now I know, to learn a lesson about not gambling, I should have come back empty handed and sad... BUT.... I came back to the room with $45.00. I could not believe it. I was so scared that I was about to be addicted (I have that kind of personality)... I was more proud of myself for walking away than I was for winning.

The very next day, I saw an article on the computer about a man who sat down at the casino and his chair was wet because the woman who had been there before him had gone to the bathroom on the chair. Okay... that made me sick, and a little sad that I was contributing to places that promote that kind of behavior. The article went on to say that sometimes people will wear adult diapers when they go to the casinos so they won't have to get up out of their chairs. I find that horrifying, and I'm declaring right now that I will not be going to a casino anymore!

Okay... the pictures... my babies are just so cute, and Ron is on stage somewhere!! :) We miss everyone and we're ready for some visitors... please come see us!!! :)

Family Pictures

The wife of one of the Chaplain Assistants is also in the Air Force and she works for Public Affairs. She has been taking pictures for a while, and now she's trying to start doing "civilian" events such as weddings and things like that... well... sounded like the perfect chance for us to get pictures taken for not a lot of money! :) Anyway, she put them on disk for us, and they are fantastic. Here is a sampling (there are over 80 of them).

Aren't they just too cute!?

He's big now!

Today was the big day that Wesley grabbed the couch and stood up. He was, of course, trying to get to his brother! :) Price yelled... "look momma, Wesley is standing up... he's big now!" He was so proud of him, and demanded that I take a picture.... well... by the time I found the camera, he had fallen, but it was just a matter of time. I finally got a picture, but this time he was going after the remotes (his favorite "toy") After I saw these pictures I realized that he IS big.

Sir Price

Since the Renaissance Festival, Price has been obsessed with knights. Memaw came yesterday, and we had to go to Target. He talked her into buying him a couple of knights (it wasn't hard since she was in a spoiling mood! :) Tonight, we have had to go back to Target, because he just had to have the knight costume. Here is some proof or blackmail for later in life! :)

We also too Memaw to see the airplanes on base... she isn't adjusting so well to the altitude! :( We're hoping it gets better tomorrow. :)

Movie-ater

Price and Ron went to see Transformers today. Price kept saying, "Are we at the movie-ater yet?" We couldn't help but laugh... it was just too cute. Ron thought the movie was great, Price didn't know what to think. He was just amazed how big everyone was. Tonight was also the second night this week that we have left the boys with a babysitter. They both seem to have done extremely well, and it makes me feel a lot better about leaving them.
My mother is coming up here next week, and we can't wait. Ron is going to camp on Sunday afternoon for a week, and Momma's plane will land on Monday morning in Denver.

Wesley is crawling around now, and getting into a lot of trouble with it also. He LOVES cords, and is constantly pulling on them to see what will happen!

I am now selling Discovery Toys.... go check out the website discoverytoys.com , but don't buy anything from them. If you see something that you want. Please e-mail me and I can order it for you. If you order online then I don't get credit for leading you to these wonderful toys and products. I have some of them already, and they are fantastic. They are also guarenteed for the life of the toy. If anyone is interested in getting some free toys then e-mail me and I'll tell you how you can do that. Thanks!! amandakayla@pafb.net

I'll leave you with a little bit of Price in his new favorite pose! (This is at the Zoo)

Renaissance Festival

The front gate at the Festival... we had no idea what awaited us!

Price got a sword and a shield.

He had a wonderful time!!

Wesley was great all day, just hanging out

in his stroller.

Price and Ron rode on an elephant.

Price had such a good time.

And for the big finale!!!

We actually dressed up and got our

picture taken... for those of you who know

me well... you know that I would NEVER do anything

like this, but maybe a little of Ron has rubbed off on me.

I thought it would be fun for all of us to be in the picture, and

IT WAS!!

More adventures later from the Feeser's!!

Fourth of July

We didn't get to take these pictures on the fourth because Wesley got sick, quickly followed by the rest of the family. On Sunday, we were all better and ready for our first visit to a church off-base. We went to Calvary UMC, and we loved it. Price had a good time in the nursery, and wanted to know when we were going back. This Sunday we are going to the Chapel (on-base) it is Ron's first Sunday to preach, and then we are having a church-wide picnic at the park here on-base. We are really excited. We love and miss you all!!

Pictures... Finally!

Okay... I finally think I have figured out how to put pictures on here. We still don't have a good picture of the mountains, but we have pictures of the house. I also don't know how to type anything above the pictures, so they are all on here like this. Sorry... maybe I'll be better at this eventually.

Aaaaaahhhhhh.... Colorado!

We've moved into our new house, and we are in the process of unpacking. We do have a fast enough connection that I can put pictures on, and I will... as soon as I have a second to sit down and do that. Everyone is doing well... those of us who know how far away we are are getting homesick. We had our first Air Force Cook-out... we ate with three of our neighbors, and it was fantastic. Not any kids Price's age, but there was a 7 year old boy that he played with all night. Thanks for all of your prayers, and I'll put some pictures on tomorrow!
