Goodbye or how about see you soon?


Before I explain the title of this entry I had to post some pictures of our lil' boxer. Mason just recovered from this face injury (he face planted off the slide at the park) and now he has a black and blue noise from face planting into his step stool. He gets going, running and jumping and forgets to look up and bam!


He is one tough cookie, he cries for a minute than he is back to full force mode. I guess this is what my son is about...full force. Its funny because I am cautious and analytical and my mom informs me that I have always been this way. Matt is somewhere in the middle but somehow we have produced a little dare devil.



Tired and toddler = YIKES!!! but really he is still adorable.

Ok back to the post...Cade, Emily, Keegan, and Cormic moved today to Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Cade, like many others, has had a hard time finding a job in his home state. A job with his previous employer had an opportunity in PA. After a trip out there and lots of consideration, they decided to take it. The town they are moving to is small but beautiful. The job will give him a lot of experience and Emily can finish school there. Of course we wish they weren't 1644 miles from us but we know they will be back. We will also visit. I told them of course I don't want you two to move but if you can leave my nephews that would be cool.

It has been a sad few weeks preparing for this day but there have also been a lot memories made.


We swam a few times. The boys love the water.

And the water slide is awesome.




Everyone went at least 10 times but Keegan must have gone 25.

Cade, Matt, and the boys at the top.

Family pictures


Awww...love you guys!



Chunky babies and skinny daddies.




We've spent time with Mom and Dad...Grandpa took Keegan for some rides on the UTV.


My dad is a teaser...he kept telling Keegan he could drive and Keegan would say "Pa, I don't have my license yet, maybe next year!"


Cormic is 7 months now and cuter than ever. He is so happy go lucky and I just love kissing those cheekies.


Keegan is almost 4 and I love him so much. He says the funniest things and has quite the personality. I am going to miss them both so much.


Of course my mom and dad are hanging in there but many tears have fallen. They love the grand boys more than words.



Keegan showed us how to use Grandma's elliptical.

Ummm this is not safe....

Ah that's better, Grandma that is a 25-lb weight good job!


Uncle Matt and Keegan played some Wii bowling!

And Uncle Matt one, jeez the kids only 3 give him a break:)


Matt getting in his cardio.


Were good he still can't open it but not for long.


We spent a day with cousin Keegan, Grandpa, and Grandma. We went to lunch, the Children's museum and the Denver Aquarium. The museum has a great play area for younger kids. Mason wasn't sure of the older kids in this area, they were rough and jumping off everything. He thought he would be protected if he just chilled in his barricade.


This barrel was his favorite, when you turned it a rain sound happened. He wasn't so big on sharing, we are working on that.


Keegan showed Mason how to climb high into the trees. He also shopped in the grocery store, drove a fire truck, and played with insects.


Next we went to the aquarium...my favorite.


Taking a break towards the end, these two wear you out.


Silly picture of my mom but I'm never in pictures so I included it.

Well all the time together made it even harder to say goodbye, so on Valentine's Day we headed out in the morning to meet them and give them hugs and kisses and wish them a safe journey.

My little Valentine...looking wild!



Cormic was snuggled in with no idea that the next 4 days will be spent in this seat, poor baby boy:(


Cade and Matt said their goodbyes....

And off they went....Good luck family, I know you will do well but we can't wait for you to come home. Love you!
