Summer

Some creative ways to entertain a 3 year old.

Yes I helped line all of those little men around him, so he could take his nap protected.
I hope everyone is having a great summer and staying cool. Today it is 100, tomorrow will be 101 and Saturday will be 100....WOW. No new updates , but we are quite busy this month and we have some visitors.....Grandma Mattie and Grandpa Glen and after they leave we get to visit with Aunt Wendy and Uncle Stacy. We have an old friend visiting next week, Dee's daughter Taylor....I think Alex may skip school to hang out one day(shhhh!) The kids are still growing and keeping us entertained. Can you believe we are half way through the year. Time flys when you have a lot of kids. Hugs to all-

Back to school and more updates...

Well Alex has started 6th grade and soccer has begun. Eric starts middle school next month and is now playing baseball. Jack will be playing soccer this fall and that should be fun. Tyler is just tagging along adding so many lovely words to her vocabulary. So many things happen in a day that I found my memory is shot and I should write them down only to find that I usually misplace the paper I write them on. You probably all are wondering why I have a picture of our house? Well after much time trying to declutter and clean our house it is officialy on the market. Yes we are leaving beautiful Colorado and as you know we love it here. We have decided that it is time to be closer to family or at least driving distance. We have chose Austin and have no timeline as to when it all depends on the sale of our house. We are hoping for early fall. We have never been to Austin, but adventure is good for you and I here it is beautiful. I am a creature of habit and do not really like change and I happen to love Colorado and the little bubble we live in, but family should be closer and man we could use a break here and there. I just thought I would share some updates. Hugs to all.

4th of July

Here are a few pictures from our adventure in Durango. We had a great time and the kids did too. I do not think anyone ever tells you, but bringing your kids on vacation is work and after you feel like you need a vacation. All in all it was a lot of fun and a lot of great memories.

Every time we passed a cow Tyler said look it dinosauer(raugh!). Jack is great at going pee in a bottle and he loves to spit. Alex went completely crazy and that might be the best birth control I know. I told Jack next year we are going to go to the beach he said What is the beach? Monday we were out and about and we were ready to go home and Jack said are we going home or to our HOTEL? I said lookie lookie I found a cookie....Jack replied lookie lookie I found some panties. I could probably go on and on.....

To sum it all up we had a wonderful trip and Alex has now started 6th grade and we are back to reality. Hugs to all-
