Love this picture!!!!!

Abby's performance

2010-05-16T12:37:00.002-06:00

Abby had so much fun with her play this weekend. They have practiced almost the whole school year. She did a great job!!!!!

Happy Easter!!!!!

2010-04-04T11:49:00.003-06:00

Honor Roll

2010-02-11T11:57:00.003-07:00

Abby is now in the fourth grade. This is the first year for her with letter grades. She has been on the honor roll for the entire year (so far). Each grading period, the school has a little ceremony for the kids that make the grade.

4th Grade

2009-08-19T12:33:00.002-06:00

Abby was excited to start her school year!!

Laser Tag

2009-02-28T17:44:00.011-07:00

Today, we took Abby and Logan to play Laser Tag. The first game, the three kids (Jim included) didn't really get into it. But... the second round was a completely different story. They all loved it. I couldn't get very good pictures because of it being dark, but I did the best I could.

Abby in action!! Jim said she quoted lines from movies, like "fire in the hole", "we've got company". Jim was using a child as his human shield. I seriously have 2 kids!!!

Christmas Day

2008-12-26T11:42:00.003-07:00

Abby displaying her HSM Sing it for the Wii.

Abby after she conquered her presents.

Jim and Abby playing Mario Kart. I had to go
out and buy a second wheel today.

We had a great Christmas this year. It was a very relaxing day. Abby woke us up about 7:30 wanting to open her presents (a little early for me). She played with all of her gifts and we went to see a movie and our "traditional" Chinese Buffet for dinner.

Happy Birthday Jim

2008-12-08T16:25:00.003-07:00

Happy Birthday Jim! We celebrated his birthday last Friday. Poor guy, I fixed dinner, fell asleep at 8:00 by the fire and he woke me up at midnight to go to bed. What a bad wife I am!!!

Happy Birthday

2008-10-15T19:45:00.002-06:00

Abby celebrated her 9th birthday yesterday. She got a karoake machine, so she was singing Hannah Montana all night last night.

THE PONY

2008-10-06T10:49:00.003-06:00

Here is the famous pony, Nick, that Abby always talks about. She loved him and rode him basically the whole time we were there.

Autumn Leaf Festival

2008-10-06T10:42:00.003-06:00

My parents and I took Abby to the Autumn Leaf Festival this year. I hadn't been there since I graduated from college there. It was Abby's first big parade. She loved the marching bands. Later that day, we got to hang out with Abby's cousin (my niece), Kate.

Christy, Amie, and Tammy, I looked for you guys in case you where there, but I never did find you! Missed seeing you guys. Maybe the next trip in we can get together. I'll call next time.

Birthday Cake #1

2008-10-06T10:37:00.002-06:00

Well, this was the first celebration for Abby's birthday. You know a little girl can never have too many birthday celebrations. Since we were going in to see my parents this weekend, we celebrated with my side of the family. Along with the pony cake, she also got a pair of cowboy boots. She is a regular cowgirl!!

Our New Abode

2008-10-06T10:24:00.002-06:00

We are now residents in Kentucky again. Obviously everyone that knows Jim, knows why he picked this house. Jim and Abby love having the pool.

Moving Again

2008-09-02T21:19:00.002-06:00

Jim got a new job! We are now moving back to the Northern Kentucky area. He starts his new job on September 15th. He is going to be a Systems Analyst. We just put our initial offer on a house in Burlington. Hoping to seal the deal tomorrow!

We'll keep everyone updated!!!

Good-bye Summer!

2008-09-01T17:37:00.002-06:00

For this Labor day, a few of us headed down to the Taste of Colorado. It was in downtown Denver. We enjoyed some good (fattening) food like funnel cake, hot dogs, and some fresh ears of corn. We hate for summer to be ending and in another month or two the snow will be starting to fall here in Denver.

Happy Labor Day!!

3rd Grade

2008-08-12T13:48:00.003-06:00

Abby had her first day of third grade today. She was excited to start again and see all of her friends. Abby was up nice and early to get ready. So at least for the first morning, we had a peaceful, uneventful morning. Mom was glad to have a day to herself. She got to have lunch with a friend and go shopping all by herself.

What a great trip!!

2008-07-25T19:10:00.003-06:00

We just got home last night. We had such a great trip. It was so nice to spend time with old friends and family. The trip went so fast. We started in Northern Kentucky. With friends, we had a party, went canoeing, and a trip to King's Island. Abby felt like a superstar because all of the kids wanted to spend so much time with her. We miss all of you so dearly, so it meant so much for us to see you again. Next stop was Jim's parents. We went to "The Wilds" which is a place where you can take a safari ride and see endangered animals. We made a trip to see Abby's great grandmother. Last on the trip we went to see my side of the family. I don't have any pictures from the rest of my trip. I took a ton of pictures and then my memory card broke, so I lost all of them. We celebrated my parents 50th Anniversary. Next, we traveled down to Pittsburgh and went to Kennywood (which is an amusement park) with my sister and nephew. Abby once again loved all of the rides. She had a great time riding with her cousin, Tom. Finally, it was time to go back to Denver.

Thanks everyone for such a wonderful time. Can't wait til we see you again.

King's Island

2008-07-25T19:00:00.002-06:00

What would a trip to Ohio/Kentucky be without a trip to King's Island? This is Abby's absolute favorite place. We met up with some good friends and had a great day. Abby rode some of her old time favorites along with some new rides. The weather was perfect. The humidity was a little rough for me on the trip, but at least there was no rain to stop our fun (well except during the canoe trip at the end).

Here we come!!

2008-07-09T11:22:00.002-06:00

Jim, Abby, and I leave for Kentucky today. We will arrive at the Dayton Airport around 11:30 tonight. We will be driving down to KY tomorrow. Can't wait to see everyone!!

Happy 4th of July

2008-07-06T14:31:00.007-06:00

Jim, Abby, and I went to the Howell's cabin for the 4th of July this year. The cabin was near Winter Park and Frasier (up in the mountains for the non-Colorado people). We had a great time watching a parade and then to Grand Lake to watch the fireworks. We were completely shocked to see how the people live in the mountains (very few restaurants, no Target, no malls). How do they survive?

North Pole, CO

2008-06-30T15:31:00.004-06:00

We took Abby to Pike's Peak this weekend and took her to The North Pole. Abby got to visit Santa at his house. The park was very cute. There was the Candy Cane Coaster, a sky ride, and lots of smaller rides. Abby had a blast. It was a warm-up for the trip to King's Island in less than 2 weeks Yea!!

Hiking

2008-06-30T14:55:00.002-06:00

We went for our first real hike two weekends ago. What I mean by a real hike is that it was just a dirt path, not paved. Abby had a great time, in fact her and I just did the same hike with some friends today.

Some Exercise

2008-06-30T14:52:00.003-06:00

One Sunday afternoon, Jim and Abby decided they needed some exercise, so they decided to go for a run. Go Abby, beat your Dad!!

Kung Fu Panda!!

2008-05-25T16:24:00.002-06:00

Abby is so excited to see Kung Fu Panda. The movie comes out June 6th if everyone didn't know. We were seeing another movie when Abby spotted the panda. The picture didn't come out very well but had to include it.

Go Rockies

2008-05-25T16:19:00.003-06:00

We finally went to our first Rockies game. Thanks to Kenny and Wendy, we had awesome seats. Jim was nice enough to surprise me with my first foam finger. Unfortunately, the Rockies lost, but a good time was had by all. After the game, Abby had such a good time that she decided to collect baseball cards (well that lasted for about a couple of days).

Abby's last day of school

2008-05-25T14:47:00.003-06:00

Abby finished her last day of 2nd grade last Friday. She was so sad for school to end. I picked her up and she cried and cried because school was out. I have to say that was the first time for that!! Now summer can begin!!

Karate

2008-04-15T09:33:00.002-06:00

Here is my tough karate girl. Her and Jim have been taking classes since September. Nobody better mess with her!!!

Another trip to Aquarium

2008-04-14T12:40:00.003-06:00

This time Abby and I took Jim. Abby has made a list of all of the things that she wants to do in the area. Many of her items are outside things, and Saturday was a little cool, so we went to the aquarium. In the picture above, the aquarium has a climbing tree and Abby loves to climb!!!!!!

Abby was baptized

2008-03-30T15:48:00.004-06:00

A few weeks ago Abby asked about being baptized. We decided to study with her to make sure that she understood what she was doing. After 12 lessons of diligently studying, she decided today was the day. Obviously, Jim and I are very proud of her. Abby is pictured above with our preacher, Jim Reingrover.

Spring Break

2008-03-22T15:57:00.004-06:00

Abby had this week off for Spring Break. Since we couldn't manage to come home for the week, we tried to get out a do a few things. The weather was beautiful this week. We went to the Denver Aquarium yesterday with one a Abby's friends from school. The aquarium was very comparable to Newport's except for one thing. They had 3 tigers. They were depicting a rainforest.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Rock Climber

2008-03-11T10:44:00.002-06:00

Abby loves to climb the rock walls at Dick's Sporting Goods. Since this climb, Abby went to a birthday party at a place called Jungle Quest. This place had all kinds of rock walls, zip lines, etc... Abby, my little princess (not really anymore), is getting pretty good at climbing. She wants to head to the real mountains to climb. My answer is NO, let's wait til you get a little older. I think she could get into this Colorado living.

Just checking in

2008-02-08T13:49:00.000-07:00

I know that it has been a while since my last post. There really is not anything new here in Colorado. It has been snowy and cold. We just got about 6 inches of snow last week. Now that I am staying home, I got to shovel all 6 inches. Abby came down with a stomach bug last night, so she is home today. So far, it has been a very mild bug. I am hoping that I don't come down with it, since my surgery is only 6 days away.

Jim is working hard at his job. Thank goodness he hasn't been traveling lately. He hasn't went out of town since about November. I think within the next couple of weeks the traveling will begin.

I am not sure if everyone knows, but I had quit my job at Charles Schwab. My manager had mentioned that when Abby was sick that I should think about hiring a nurse to come stay with her, so I could go to work. That was NOT going to happen. Other things had went on, so I thought it was best to resign. So far, I am enjoying the stay-at-home life again. I go into Abby's school every Friday for the Book Club.

I hope everyone is healthy this winter time and staying warm. We miss everyone, and hopefully soon we will be able to plan a trip home.

Christmas 2008

2008-01-14T14:52:00.001-07:00

Christmas 2008 was a very snowy one in Denver this year. The weather was calling for a little dusting of snow, but we probably got around 8 inches of snow at our house. Above, Abby is playing Guitar Hero on the Wii at the Howell's house on Christmas Day. Neither of us (Abby nor I ) were very good at it. (Notice the new OSU sweatshirt that Abby is supporting thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Morgan.)

Abby received a big package from Mama and Papa Morgan in the mail. Lego's were one of the big hits of the package. Abby, my little princess, has turned into a little tomboy. She obsesses over Star Wars and loves building scenes from the movie with her Lego set.

Here Abby is on Christmas morning. She got her Wii thanks to her Grandma Neely standing in line at Wal-Mart for many days to get it for her. Along with the Wii, she got quite a few Star War items, and some games for her Nintendo.

Hopefully, everyone had a great holiday!

Dad's Birthday

2007-12-06T18:48:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday Dad! We celebrated Jim's birthday yesterday. We went to his favorite restaurant (everyone from NKY knows where that is), Olive Garden, and after church we had his birthday cake. I won't tell everyone how old he is, but I'll give you a hint, it's the first year you can round up to 40!!!

Thanksgiving

2007-12-06T18:36:00.000-07:00

We went to the Howell's for Thanksgiving this year for our first holiday away from home. We all had a good time along with lots of good food.

Abby got to try the Wii on Thanksgiving. Now that is all she wants for Santa to bring. Good luck Santa!!

Trip to Phoenix

2007-11-10T18:02:00.001-07:00

We recently went on a weekend trip to Phoenix, AZ. Jim had to go down for a conference, so Abby and I just tagged along. The weather was beautiful (in the 90s the whole time we were there).

What's a trip without taking a dip in the pool?

We visited the Rainforest Cafe. Abby loved it there with all of the animals(they were fake but came to life every so many minutes). She didn't so much like the thunderstorms that came every 20 minutes.

We visited a place called Castles and Coasters. It was just a small amusement park that had a few rides along with Miniature Golf.
We are at the airport enjoying Jim's Red Carpet Club membership that his company pays for since he travels so much. Abby very much enjoyed the free hot chocolate that they gave her.

Abby's First Race

2007-11-10T16:48:00.000-07:00

Abby ran in her first race today. She wanted to originally run in the 5k, but I convinced her to try the 1 mile for her first race. Considering that she didn't train for it, she did an awesome job. She finished the mile run in 13 min. She took off like a rocket; I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to keep up (but good old Mom made it). After the race, we needed to refuel at Panera Bread.

Halloween Party

2007-10-28T16:17:00.000-06:00

Last night, we went to a Halloween party with a few of the kids from Westside. The kids had a good time playing some games. Nicholas and Connor were decorated like mummies, and the kids carved pumpkins with the help of some adults. Abby had quite the night. She bumped her head a few times and had a knot on the top of her head. Next, she "accidentally" bit into a glow stick and swallowed some of the liquid inside. Just in case anyone's children does this, just have them rinse their mouth and drink some fluids (Jim called Poison Control).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

First Snow

2007-10-21T21:16:00.000-06:00

Can you believe it? We got around 7 inches of snow overnight and into the day today. Of course, I had to take my parents to the airport early this morning. The roads were horrible. Jim and Abby had to take time to play in the snow after church this morning. I think perhaps Jim had as much fun as Abby. This Wednesday the temperatures are supposed to be in the 70s, so I think the snow is short-lived (thank goodness). Jim said we would be moving back to KY on the next snow. Just kidding

Estes Park

2007-10-21T20:59:00.000-06:00

Yesterday, we took my mom and dad up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, very beautiful sights. At our house, the weather was in the 70s and up in the mountains probably around 50s to 60s.

One of the sights was Bear Lake. Abby thought it was pretty neat to see snow when we didn't have it at our house.

We saw some mule deer and right before we left we finally found some elk hanging out on the golf course. I think the highlight of the day was the elk. All of us were so excited to get so close to the them.

Abby is NOW 8

2007-10-21T13:06:00.001-06:00

Abby is now eight years old. Her Grandma and Grandpa Neely came in to stay with her this week. For her birthday, she got a new bike, Star Wars movie, baby doll, Super Peach for her Nintendo and a few instruments from her other grandparents. I think she made out ok!

Abby's PRE-birthday

2007-10-09T15:25:00.000-06:00

We decided to have an early birthday party for Abby at Casa Bonita. We invited some of her friends from our new church, Westside. For all of you that don't know what Casa Bonita is, a very corny mexican restaurant that have cliffdivers, fire jugglers, shows, caves for the kids to go through, and an arcade. The food isn't very good, but Abby loves it there. Happy 8th Birthday Abby!

Karate

2007-10-04T16:34:00.001-06:00

Last Monday, Abby got her white belt. She tries her karate moves on us all of the time. It is getting pretty dangerous around here.

We miss everyone! I hope you all are doing well.

First bike trip

2007-10-04T16:11:00.000-06:00

Well, we had this bright idea to hit the trails last Saturday afternoon. We fit all of our bikes into the back of the SUV. Started on our quest to bike all day. It was so windy Abby couldn't even pedal, so we found a playground and it made Abby just as happy as biking.

New wheels

2007-10-03T22:03:00.000-06:00

Abby got an early birthday present. She needed some new wheels. Her knees were hitting the handlebars on her old one.

The Royal Gorge

2007-09-08T20:37:00.000-06:00

This weekend we visited the Royal Gorge which is below Colorado Springs and above Pueblo. I just got a new camera, so definitely trying it out.

We rode the aerial tram which is the world's longest single-span aerial tram (there is a test at the end of this). We were very high. We saw birds flying below us (very odd feeling).

This a picture of the Royal Gorge Bridge. This is the world's highest suspension bridge. We rode the trolley across this.

Saw some elk, bison, and rams.

Rode the incline. This is the world's steepest incline railway.

Abby at the bottom of the incline.

Also had a merry-go-round. Abby was comparing the incline to the ride, Top Gun, at King's Island.

Abby's new activities

2007-09-06T21:01:00.001-06:00

I just thought I would give an update. Abby is in the process of starting two new activities. She started last Tuesday taking a Spanish class at her school. She thinks it is very cool to speak Spanish. Next week she will be starting a karate class with her dad (this is also at her school). Abby is adjusting to Colorado very well. I think she handled it the best out of all of us.

I started work this week. I am working a few grueling 40 hour weeks. This whole work thing is going to take a little time to get used to. I can't wait til the house sells, so we can hire that housekeeper (just once a month). Work is going well. I think that they are going to be very flexible with the schedule. I am a little rusty on my financial knowledge, but I'm sure it will come back in a little while. Jim and I have been carpooling while I am working full-time which is nice unless he gets stuck in a meeting and is over an hour late picking me up (happened yesterday).

Life in Colorado is going well for all of us. We miss all of our friends in Northern Kentucky. We are making new friends with the members of our new congregation and with our new neighbors.

Garden of the Gods

2007-09-06T20:30:00.000-06:00

We visited the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs last weekend. It was our first outing here in the west. We watched a movie and enjoyed a bus tour. We are planning to go to the the Royal Gorge this coming weekend, so more pictures will be coming.

Just being silly

2007-08-30T15:17:00.000-06:00

Not sure why I took this picture, but just thought it was funny when I was downloading the pictures.

First Day of Second Grade

2007-08-30T15:09:00.000-06:00

The first day of school was August 14. I can't believe she started so early. Abby loves her school. She rides her scooter to school everyday. It never seems to rain here in Denver in the morning. It is so beautiful in the morning here. We always meet her friend Kiara on our way to school. I enjoy walking her to school. It is 1/2 mi to the school, so I am guaranteed to walk 2 mi every day (good exercise).

Move In Day

2007-08-30T15:06:00.000-06:00

After spending a week in the local Residence Inn, it was finally time to move into our house. Of course, Jim was out of town on business when the movers were coming. It took them another 7 hours to move our things into the house, a very long day.

Road Trip

2007-08-29T12:40:00.001-06:00

As Abby is showing you, this is our Day 1. We are still in Florence, KY at the Hyatt. The movers took 7 hours to load our things, so we decided to get a good night sleep before we venture out.

First milestone was in St. Louis, MO. I want everyone to keep in mind that I was driving while I was taking these pictures.

After spending the night in MO about an hour outside of Kansas City, it was time to hit the road again. Jim was driving his car with Abby and I was in my car with the 2 dogs. I'm not sure who was luckier. I missed the sign that we were entering Kansas, so I took a picture of the Topeka and Wichita sign. I tried to take a picture of the Kansas City Royal stadium, but traffic kept on getting in the way.

I'm sure you are all thinking to yourself what is this a picture of. That is exactly my point. After you leave Kansas City, this is all you see for a very long time!

Let's start at the very beginning

2007-08-29T12:21:00.000-06:00

Before we left for Colorado, we had to say many goodbyes. Here, Abby is saying goodbye to her friends Julia and Ellie. I was crying everytime that I turned around. It got to the point where Abby was just rolling her eyes at me, like not again.

We are heading out from 1357 Cayton Rd, Florence, KY. Obviously, Abby is playing here, but I think at the time I was really crying. I kept on telling Jim that this was a great house. I was a basket case until we hit the road.

Residents of CO

2007-08-28T20:58:00.000-06:00

Jim, Abby, and I are now proud residents of the state of Colorado.

Just got internet access, so lots of pictures to come.

New job

2007-08-24T13:29:00.000-06:00

Finally, I have confirmation of my job at Charles Schwab. I will start on Sept 4. I have to work full-time for the first three weeks which is very hard to do. Jim's mom has offered to come out to get Abby off to school and pick her up afterwards. After the training period, my hours will be 9:15 to 3:15. Just enough time to get Abby off to school. It has been a long time since I have worked, 8 years to be exact.

Computer access is coming on Tuesday, yeh! The library is going to miss me.

Miss everyone!

Moved to Denver

2007-08-20T13:30:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to update everyone. I'm currently at the library using their computer. We will not have computer access until the 28th, so the pictures will be coming. Everything is going well so far. Abby loves her new school. She has made lots of new friends. We have placed membership at the Westside Church of Christ in Golden, CO. Abby has made a new best friend at church, her name is Amanda. She talks about Amanda constantly.

We have finally moved into the house. So currently we have boxes everywhere. We love the house. It has so much storage space.

We miss everyone at NKY. You all are very special. Thank you for the great party. It was a great opportunity for us to say goodbye (too bad that Abby had to be sick that day).

I'll post pictures as soon as I have access.

Pro at the bike

2007-07-11T21:07:00.000-06:00

Abby has been loving riding her bike now that the training wheels are off. She is still riding on the grass until a little more confident. She went to her grandma and grandpa's house and she had to take her bike with her.

No more training wheels

2007-07-05T19:34:00.000-06:00

Abby decided tonight that she was a two-wheeler girl. She wanted her training wheels off, so her and her dad practiced tonight.

Coney Island- Balloon Glow

2007-07-04T15:18:00.000-06:00

We all went to Coney Island yesterday for the Balloon Glow. Abby was most concerned about riding the rides. I wanted to see the balloons, and Jim was just along for family time. It was fun for a while until the nightmare started. Jim and Abby wanted to ride a particular attraction which had such a long line, so I said I would be right back thinking that they would be there for a while. I went to check on the balloons in the meantime. I went back to the ride and they were gone. I felt like a little kid that had lost her parents. I walked and walked for what seemed like eternity and couldn't find them. I had forgot my cell phone in the car, so there was no way for me to reach them. Finally, I found them at the car. Of course, I was in tears. To say the least, we didn't stay for the balloon glow nor the fireworks. I only got one picture of the balloons which is posted.

Newport Aquarium

2007-07-04T15:14:00.000-06:00

Jim, Abby, and I went to the aquarium the other day. The last time we had Abby there (which was years ago) she was scared to death of the sharks. This time, she loved every minute of it. She even pet the sharks (the small ones).

Last day of school and work

2007-06-04T19:56:00.000-06:00

Jim and Abby finished up school and work on the same day. I have to say, I'm not sure if that happens very often. Fortunately, Jim has had a great offer in Denver, so we will be heading that way as soon as our house sells. Abby is officially a second grader.

King's Island

2007-06-04T19:51:00.001-06:00

We finally made our 1st trip to King's Island for the Summer of 2007. Abby is finally tall enough to ride about anything there. She is over the 48 inch mark. We have been getting season passes here since Abby was about 3 years old. It wouldn't seem like summer without King's Island.

Cousin Kate's graduation

2007-06-03T07:32:00.000-06:00

My cousin Kate graduated from high school this past Friday. She graduated from Pine Richland which is near Pittsburgh, PA. She is now heading towards Clarion University of PA (which is where Kate's mom and my mom went to school). Here in the picture is Kate along with my Aunt Kim.

We are very proud of Kate.

Trip to Louisville

Dad, Mom, and I traveled to Louisville, KY today. Dad had an interview which lasted a long time. While he was interviewing, Mom and I had some fun. First, we went to the mall to shop. Next, we stopped at the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum. We went to lunch with Dad after his interview, and finally went to the Science Museum. I got a bat from the Louisville Slugger store along with a sweatshirt. This might be where we will call home soon. Time will tell.
