Let It Shine, Let It Shine, Let It Shine

Our solar is off and running.  Lucky for us, we live in the 2nd sunniest state in the union (Florida #1) with 300+ days of sunshine a year!  Now, we are hoping that translates into much lower energy bills.  So far, so good.  We've reduce our carbon footprint and produced as much energy as we have bought.  

It all started last March...

when a package arrived from Grandma Brooks.  Some seed starters!  Wyatt planted the seeds indoors and diligently watered the little cups.  They took off.  When it warmed, we transferred them outside and below is the result!  Our homegrown Jack-O-Lantern.  Wyatt and Georgia had fun watching it grow and change colors.  They are pretty proud.  

Dinosaurs Alive! Wyatt is 5!!

For his birthday, we took Wyatt and some friends to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to see the new dinosaur exhibit and the IMAX film Dinosaurs Alive.  Luckily, we had extra hands on deck since Grandma & Grandpa Brooks paid us a visit on their way to Canada!!  Yeah!!  It was a beautiful fall day so we enjoyed cake outside afterwards.  Wyatt had a fantastic time, and so did Georgia who seemed to be just as excited as he was!  She's already requesting a cake for her birthday with race cars and Swiper (Dora character).  Happy number 5 Wyatt!!

F is for Fall Fun

Our tree has finally grown big enough to provide some beautiful red leaves to roll around in this year.  And that's just what we did this afternoon.  Photos by Shannon AND Wyatt.

Kristen and Matt's Wedding in KC

It was a great weekend in KC, but of course went way to fast.  The wedding was beautiful and fun was had by all at the reception.  Georgia LOVED being a flower girl, she even carried the flowers through the airport on Sunday, and referred to Kristen as a Princess all night ("where did the princess girl go?").  We danced and Wyatt couldn't pull himself away from the skee-ball game, but why would he, he held the second highest score most of the night.  Uncle Ryan mentioned that we should ice down his arm.  The food and the atmosphere at the Culinary Institute were fabulous.  Most of all it was just great to share such a special day with family.  Congrats Kristen & Matt!  Cheers!!
