House and Boulder with LOTS of Pictures!

This might be a long post-lots of stuff happening in this past week. Lots of pictures to go through-so enjoy!

I said before that Rob was doing a lot of work to the upstairs bedroom to get the office moved up there, etc. Well here's a few before pictures so you could see what kind of shape it was in after Rob started with it...

Tubs and Addy wanted to get in a picture

And now for the finished product...

Doesn't it look fabulous? Rob did an amazing job!

This past weekend I went to Boulder to visit Eric, Carole and Chase. It was such a great time-thanks again guys! I was greeted Friday night at the airport by the whole Lundeen clan-with the littlest one running and jumping into my arms. I sat in the back with Chase-and he just was talking and talking the entire 45 minutes home. He was so excited that his LeLe was there to see him. He kept saying "I Love You LeLe". Carole and I have a weird obsession with Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake-we have been talking about getting one since I booked my flight 5 months ago. Well Chase thought that since they bought a cake-it was LeLe's birthday. So we busted out candles and sang Happy Birthday. Here Chase is helping with the candles

After the Birthday cake-Carole broke out her Halloween costume. She's Minnie Mouse and Chase is going to be Pluto. Too cute...

Saturday-we all got up super bright and early to go see Thomas the Train. Chase was so excited! We had to take a bus to where Thomas was. Here we all are on the bus-Chase was busy watching Thomas on the TV above our headsAnd finally...we get to see Thomas! Chase took his Nana with him...We rode Thomas for a little bit-then went around to all of the other fun things that they had there. The fire truck, the petting zoo, the little trains-and we all got fun tattoos. Wish I would of gotten a picture of that-we were all like the Wonder Twins.
After we left Thomas we drove to Golden Colorado--where I learned that Coors was made in the town. After the smell the town had-I'm not sure I want to drink that beer again. We found a cute little farmer's market-and had some yummy homemade Mexican food. I bought some homemade dog treats for the pups-and some yummy Cake Balls. Once we returned home, Carole and I decided that we were going to go to downtown Boulder and do some shopping-or actually just window shopping after seeing some of those prices! Whew! Who would of thought that a onesie was worth $60? Sorry Baby Gray-Momma couldn't fathom spending that on you yet. Carole and I just went in and out of stores and had great talks-like always. After a few hours-we decided that it was time to head back.
Once we got back Chase was still napping-he was going on 3 hours-seeing Thomas and having LeLe there was making him super tired! Once he woke up we all went to the park down the street. Chase only likes to go in style

Stayed at the park for a bit-then went home and then to dinner. When we got back we were all sitting around watching TV. Well Chase wanted to jump from the ottoman onto my belly. Carole and Eric both got on him explaining that he couldn't jump on LeLe's belly because I had a baby in there. He came and sat next to me and started touching my belly and said "LeLe's Baby". I told him his name was Grayson-and Chase came up with "Jimmy" instead. So maybe Grayson will be Jimmy to Chase?!?! For those that don't know-Chase carries around a stuffed lion that he named NaNa. So he went around and gathered all of his NaNa's (I think 5 total-all different sizes) and piled them on my belly and said "Here LeLe and Rop's baby" He hasn't really gotten the 'B' down yet in Rob's name. He then went on and picked up some of his trains and put them on my belly too. I wish I would of had my camera-he was so proud of himself.

Sunday Carole had to work so I got to hang out with Eric and Chase. Eric and I watched the ChooChoo Soul on You Tube for about 45 minutes. It's a really catchy tune...I highly recommend it. Chase and I played for quite sometime-he didn't really want me to leave. We had to tell him on Saturday that I was leaving on Sunday so that he could understand. When it was time to go to the airport-Chase kept saying "LeLe up" which meant that he knew I was going in an airplane. Got to the airport-and I got out to say good-bye-Chase started crying-it broke my heart. I couldn't figure out if it was because I was leaving or if it was because he wanted to go inside the airport-but it was still sad. So we all said our good-byes-and I told him I would see him soon. Here he was helping me pack before I left

It was such a great weekend-thanks again guys and we can't wait to see you in a few short months!
Grayson enjoyed his first plane ride-he was moving and grooving quite a bit-and we can't wait to do it again in December! Have a great week!
