Sledding

We took the kids sledding the other day with some friends. Found a decent sized hill, but they kept biffing it at the end. Like full on roll overs while still holding onto the sled for dear life. It was so funny. I honestly could not stop laughing. At one point I think every child was crying at the same time. Then I got a wave of snow that plowed into my face. Which was even funnier. Carma for laughing at the kids wrecking!

Dinosaur Museum

It's only been almost a year since we moved here and this was the first time we've made it over to the dinosaur museum. We had a great time and it was really quite fascinating. I was mesmerized by the Brachiosaurus (long neck) dinosaur. I knew they were big, obviously, but seeing one put together was amazing! That was definitely my favorite part. Don't know why I didn't get any pictures of the dinosaurs only the big attacking shark and of course ice cream afterwards.

Lakeing...

Our first trip to the lake this summer. We stayed til' the sun was creeping down. It was a dream day. Has to be one of my favorite things to do! The kids kept calling it lakeing..."I had so much fun lakeing." "When do we get to go lakeing again?" It was pretty funny. Both Drake and Ava wake boarded with Brandon and loved it. Drake thinks he is ready to try all by himself next time! I actually am going to hold him to it.






Callie loved the boat ride. She kept standing up and letting the wind blow thru the little hair she has.

Camping Colorado.

Have I ever told you that I HEART summer, not just a little but a lot.
We had such a great time camping with the Kovachs.

The weather was perfect.
The kids were perfect and NEVER fought :)

I'm glad we are still friends! I definitely have the camping itch now and am ready to go again. It is so nice being out in nature and doing something different from the everyday norm. Here's a few pictures from our first camping adventure of the summer. Enjoy!




We played quite a few games of baseball in a field by our camp. The "bush" was the perfect spot for our catcher.

Someone is just a little sleepy.

Our very own "Xena Warrior Princess," widdling our sticks for roasting marshmallows.


While the kids are sleeping the pyros will play.
