ColoradoTrip Adventure

So after what felt like forever we finally got our house packed up and cleaned and we were out of Rexburg forever.... which is a weird feeling. So we were headed to Monkey's house in Oregon because his sister Ariel was coming home fromher mission. About 3 hours into our drive.....BOOOOM our car died. We were stuck in the middle of nowhere called Bliss. I have never been so nervous, Cause I have 2 children now in the middle of no where. Long story short a nice man picked us up and we stayed athis house all afternoon....interesting!!! He isn't to fond of Mormons,but we were so grateful for him anyways!! Then Caleb Monkey's brother came to our rescue and we went up the road a little to this beautiful town of nothing!!!
Moutain Home, Idaho!
This is us chillin in our hotel till the car could get fixed! which when we got the guy said do not drive this thing anymore.... So we got a new car... A JETTA- which happend to be my highschool dream car.


On our way to Oregon we got to stop and see the temple!!! So beautiful, I love the temple. Belle kept saying oooooo pitty tempel!
After a loooooong drive we finally got to The Dalles! It was sogood seeing Monkey's family and seeing Ariel after so long!
cute tummy Belle! haha! Our little future Sister Mullins...Well maybe
On the road again....this time for a 21 hour drive to my home in Littleton, Colorado, so Monkey could start work sellingpest control for my cousins company. we were a little packed in there!




TANK!!!! HAHAH new nick name for Cash! Changing diapers was interesting!



The kids slept like the whole time!
Belle kept wrapping and rocking her mousey!



We decided to pull over and have a picnic! ohhh it was so nice outside! it was so fun and Belle was having somuch fun with Monkey while I fed Cash
Monkey had to wear my sun glasses the whole trip... but he still looked manly! hahah we finally made it to Colorado and everyone came over! We are alredy having so much fun! I am so grateful that car ride is over!

Congrats on getting safely there! Dare I ask what actually broke on your old car? Was it just too expensive to fix or was it a driving time bomb?
