Our Uneventful Life in the Mountains

We have gotten all moved in and are slowly getting settled into our new place, and every day I am in awe of how beautiful the scenery is here! Just walking out to the parking lot of our apartment, you can see the very top of the ski lift to the mountain, and right now it is all green, with a nice blue sky back drop. And driving around town you just get the most beautiful views of mountain tops all around. We are so lucky to live here!

Over Memorial Day weekend, Nate got his first holiday from work, and it was absolutely gorgeous, so we spent Sunday walking around our cute little downtown and exploring all of the shops along the way. Then we strolled down by the Yampa River and let the boys check out the water. Nate showed Landon how to throw rocks into the river, and now whenever someone says something about the river, he gets very excited to go throw rocks. Such a boy. We are in search of a little fishing pole for him so we can teach him how to fish some this summer, if he has the patience.

Nate has adjusted very well to his new job, and has taken the responsibility amazingly. He never ceases to amaze me at how well he really can adjust to new situations, even thought he is difficult in the beginning. I can't say enough how proud I am of him. He is managing the store and stepping into his responsibilities very well. He has four employees under him right now, and only one is younger than him, but all seem to really respect him and what he's bringing to the table for the business. Soon, I'll get started helping out at the business as well, but for now, I am really enjoying my time with Landon and exploring our new home. 

Our trip to the local donut shop. Soooo good!

I am currently 23 weeks pregnant, still due September 26. Getting more and more excited every day! We are planning out the baby's room and trying ever-so-hard to pick a name for our little guy! Nothing is standing out to us yet, but we still have time! Landon is actually getting very excited to be a big brother, and likes to pick out super hero names for his baby brother. 

And I'll leave this post today with pictures of our views to the east and to the west from downtown. Jealous?!
