My mom came to Pueblo for Thanksgiving and on the day after, we took her to Bishop's Castle and to the Royal Gorge. Here are some of the pictures.

Kyrba is 11
OK, technically she is 11 in 22 hours, but I may be worn out tomorrow to write about this.
The last 11 years have had many challenges as I've learned how to be a parent. I feel for Kyra because she is the oldest and because of that, she is our practice dummy (for lack of a better term). She tries so hard to be a kid, but wants to be so grown up at the same time and that is tough for anyone. I honestly cannot believe that I am old enough to have a baby that is 11.
Kyra is growing up to be a beautiful, smart, compassionate young lady. We get more compliments on her pretty blue eyes and her smile. She is on track to be in the gifted and talented program at her school. This will help her in Middle School and High School and if all goes well, she will be able to have part of a college degree by the time she gets her High School diploma. She is always looking for ways to help her sister and brother with their homework and her teacher's say she is that way with other students at school as well. She is always trying her best even when her intentions are a little bit construed. She cares about those who have less than her. She is going to be our forever missionary. The Spirit of our Heavenly Father radiates through her so much that her friends are wanting to come to church and church activities with her. She knows the gospel well and is not afraid to let everyone know that she is a member of the church.
Kyra loves to be artistic which is something that she gets from her dad and from her aunt. I draw stick people, badly. She wants to be making things all of the time and she also loves to write stories. Jacob loves to "play" school with Kyra and she is teaching him so many valuable things.
I am thankful for the opportunity to have such special spirits in my home. They teach me so much about being a mom and about myself. I am thankful that Kyra is so willing to help when I need it and that she looks to me to teach her the things she needs to be successful in life. I knew being a parent would be difficult, but it is also very rewarding.
Now....off to get some sleep before tomorrow...

Pics of Colorado
Nothing fancy, just a shot of the Denver LDS temple, the house we're praying we get, burned parts of CO Springs and other stuff......
