New Family Pics! More to come!

Show'n Tell... Colin Style

This is truly a classic Colin moment.  We were at school this week and I asked Colin what we were going to bring for Show'n Tell that started with the letter "B".  Right in front of his teacher he responds...  "My Butt"!  Aggghh!! He is such a boy :)

Castlewood Canyon

 We took the boys on a hike this morning and they were quite the troopers!

 Colin cracks me up... He takes off in a sprint the minute he sees a patch of shade to rest in.  Our dog Magnum does the same thing!

 One of these days I will manage to get a picture of the entire family actually looking at the camera!

A Taste of Colorado

 We took the boys to a festival in Downtown Denver called the Taste of Colorado.  Well we can say we've done it once because we will probably never do it again!  It was hot, crowded, expensive and absolutely miserable!  I couldn't take my eyes off the boys for one second or they would get swallowed by the crowd.  The food was ridiculously expensive, we had to wait in lines for no shorter than 30 minutes for any one thing and the boys wanted to do everything but wait for nothing!  It was exhausting!  

 Austin did get to ride his first roller coaster though!  Poor Colin was 1 inch too short :(

 Dolly face got to ride the space ship!

A rainbow from GG

So I have been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks.  A couple of days before GG passed away, me and the boys made a card for GG asking her to please send us rainbows from heaven to let us know that she is thinking about us :)  Well, on Austin's 5th birthday just as we sat down for his celebratory dinner, we looked up into the sky and this is what we saw!  What is even more interesting is that Austin had asked only 2 hours prior to this if GG was going to wish him a Happy Birthday.  Well buddy... I think this rainbow says it all!  A big Happy Birthday from our beloved GG!  It was truly spectacular!

We are on the light-rail headed downtown to the Taste of Colorado. 

 It Colin's first train ride (that he can remember)!

Girls Nights Galore

 Who says kiddos are the only ones that get to have fun... Mommas want to have a good time too!!  Here I am with my awesome group of girlfriends!

The boys had a bday party at a martial arts facility and they loved it! Colin needed a little help as you can see ;) Austin is going to be just like his daddy. I see black belt in his near future!

Wedding time

The boys were the ring-bearers in a coworkers wedding... 

They were absolutely darling and so well behaved! 

Allergy testing :(

This was absolutely no fun for Austin! Poor guy... Thank goodness he is free of allergies though!

Back to school!

The boys have both gone back to school. Austin started kindergarten and Colin is back in pre-school! We had a rough first day of kindergarten though. Colin decided to hide in the window well on the side of our house because he did not want Austin to start school. He was missing for nearly 25 minutes! In a huge panic I called the police... Needless to say we were very late for Austin's first day of school!

Austin is 5 today!!!!

Austin is half a decade old today! His big birthday wish.... A new skateboard. I will have to post a video soon of his mad skills ;)

31!

So I am officially 31!  Joel surprised me with a lovely trip up to Frisco.  We got in a beautiful hike and some much needed rest and relaxation :)

Botanical Gardens

 My neighbor has a membership to the Denver Botanical Gardens so we took all the kiddos for the afternoon.

 I am going to have to brush up on my plant and flower recognition... because the boys were just full of questions!

 The poppies were breath taking!

Supah
Ninja's!

 Colin sure does like to show off his belly :)
