Alan turns 29!

We celebrated Alan's birthday twice! Once with the Jones's, Aaron's, and Hester's, and once with the Knights. I forgot to take pictures of the first but at least I got some of the second celebration : )

Hunting Trip to Wyoming (Part 1)

Where do I begin?? We (my parents, Alan, Grayson and I in 2 trucks) headed northwest through Amarillo and New Mexico. We got stranded in Colorado Springs by a snow storm but finally got through the snow to the Red Canyon Ranch in Kaycee, Wyoming where the weather was gorgeous. Thank you Mama and Daddy for taking us with you this year and thanks to the Hanson's for their hospitality! I took A LOT of pictures!
DAY 1
Amarillo



Cadillac Ranch  in Amarillo
(we didn't know to bring our own spray paint)

DAY 2
Colorado Springs, Colorado
biggest snowstorm in October

Tried to leave Colorado Springs in this mess and turned back around because of road closings in Wyoming. We saw multiple wrecks and spin outs all around us. Very scary!! So thankful we waited out the storm for 2 days because we made it safely!

The only photo of Grayson in his costume on Halloween! There wasn't a place to go trick or treating so he ate dinner in his costume and during dinner had a diaper malfunction so that was the end of Halloween!
