Emerson got 2nd Place.

For Emerson's 10th birthday we got her Riding Lessons. She has always had a love of horses and so we decided to give it a try. 1 year later Emerson is even more in Love with it. Saturday Feb 4th Emerson did her first Show and placed 2nd.

Here is Emerson all Happy with her 2nd Place Ribbon. We are so proud of you Emerson.

Emerson Just before we left for the SHOW. She was a bal1 of nerves and excited all in one.

Wow Has it really been 2 years?

Hike to Alberta Falls

On Labor Day we went up to Estes Park and then went into Rocky National Mountain Park and did a little hike to Alberta Fall. We had a great time and the hike is perfect for families.


All along the way they have these big boulders that kids loved to climb on. This, I think, is the biggest one.
This little squirrel actually ran and jumped into Emerson's hand and then ran away. It did it so fast I missed it, but here is the shot just before the squirrel jumped.
Here is my little man Weston, who is a little close to the edge for my comfort. Just on the other side of that rock he is sitting on is a drop off.
Can you spot Peter? Hint.... dark blue jacket top of the falls
I like this picture of Emerson. To me it looks like I cut her picture out and glued it onto this background. But nope this was along the hike.

You can see Weston was having fun in the water

WOW.... just a little too close haha
Nothing like an ice cream cone after a good hike.

Avery and Weston's First Day of Preschool.

Avery and Weston in their class room. When they get to school they have to go find there names and go and place them on the board that is behind them......Weston thinks that is so fun.
All the parents were taking pictures so it was hard to get any great shots of them in the class room.
My cute little munchkins walking home after the first day.

First Day of School For Emerson

Emerson was so excited to go to school today. She woke up extra early today just to make sure she was not late.
Here is our little 4th grader on her way to school.
One of Emerson's good friends Vanessa is in her class again....yay. (The sun was a little bright this morning.)
Emerson's Teacher this year is Mrs.Cole she seem really nice and Emerson came home really happy today. I already like her because she sent out an email to all the parents this afternoon talking all about there first day and sent this picture along.


Keep posted Avery and Weston start on Wednesday.........

#1 Dad's

The kids had so much fun making poster and decorating for Peter today. Emerson came in the room and said "Dad and Mom you need to come down stairs" we got up and started to head down stairs and the kids jumped out of the front closet "Surprise, Happy Fathers day". They had almost decorated every wall in the house with pictures they had made. It was so cute.







I wish I had pictures of the Other two amazing Dad's in my life but they are still not uploaded on our new computer yet. I just want say HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to Darrel (Kimberley's dad) and to Dave (Peter's dad). Thanks for being so darn amazing and we love you both so much.


HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Here we go again!!!!

On Monday Weston went peepee in the potty......yay!!! He got to choose a prize from the the prize bucket, can you guess what he chose?? Yes, it was Silly Puddy, and he absolutely loved it. At bed time I put it up and he brushed his teeth and went to bed, all was good.....ummmmm not really. That little monkey shiner climbed his shelf and got it, and here I thought he was all tucked in sleeping like a good little boy. When he woke up this was the back of his head......aaaaaaaaaaaaa. It was all over his pillow, jammies and yes his hair. Well I guess it was a good thing he already had a mowhawk!!

NOW IT IS JUST A REALLY SHORT MOWHAWK!!!!
