Steamboat Springs

We took a weekend trip to Steamboat Springs a couple of weekends ago. We swam, ate out, did some alpine slides, and hiked(a bit)! Great weekend!

Ava, Tanner, Kellen, Aidan, and Rick. Brandt was taking all of the pictures (with our new camera) so I didn't have him in any shots!

This kid loves loves to swim!! They could've swam all day!!

I wanna soak up the sun!!

We have been able to do some swimming lately!! The kiddie pool rocks, the kids can swim in there for hours without drowning!! Pool days are the best...(other than smothering sunscreen on my insanely adorably pale kiddos the whole time!!)

Ashley and Cody are one of the nicest couples....really! They invite us to come swim all of the time, and we love to crash their community center, it's way less crowded than ours!!

These days are always followed by a trip to Baja Fresh for diet coke and lots of yummo chips and salsa! I will miss these days when we are back in our coats and boots with the bun warmer blasting in the car... I don't love the cold....so we are really loving the summertime!

Ava is a natural little swimmer just like Tanner. It is hilarious to watch them constantly putting their faces in the water and then come up smiling and gasping for air....then they go back under for more!

Happy Father's Day Brandt 2010

We sure love our Daddy!! We celebrated Daddy with a sweet breakfast, lots of new clothes and dinner out at a new Mexican restaurant we like. Thanks for being so wonderful to Tanner and Ava....(and me). I am lucky to have a wonderful husband who makes it possible for me to stay home with the kids!

We also went to a car show that weekend. Tanner was in heaven!!!

Preschool Graduation

Tanner and Ava both went to Covenant Kids Day Out this past school year! It was our last year there, and they had a lot of fun. I am like 2 months behind.........

Their end of school performance was classic. Ava's teachers told me she could sing and dance to everything, but when showtime came she literally just smiled the whole time, no singing at all. It was so cute!!! Tanner did awesome despite the hyper problem child that he had to stand next to who kept jumping around and bumping into him!!!!

Tanner had Ms Rebecca(and a couple others before who couldn't handle the class) and Ava had Ms Angela....she was wonderful to Ava and even let her bring her flower blankie to school all of the time!! Ms Angela never even made me feel bad for having a 3 year old princess who still didn't use the potty completely at the end of the year............so Ms Angela rocks in my opinion!

We had a picnic afterwards with all the teachers and parents and then it was officially summer!!! Thanks CKDO for a great year and some quiet hours for mommy!

See ya later...

ALLIGATOR!! How cute, right?! Tanner has gone to Miss Terri's Preschool for 2 years now. The days he isn't here he has been at Covenant preschool! We have loved Terri so so much and love to go there!

I can't believe my cute little man is done with preschool and off to kindergarten! It's only 3hrs so it wont be a huge emotional change for me but it is elementary school, and it's free so woohoo!

Miss Terri said that one of the things she loves about Tanner is that she knows that she can always count on him to know the right answer if no one else does!!!...........um he must get that from his Daddy!!

Luckily we will still have Miss Terri in our daily lives because Ava gets to go there next fall!!!!!!!

Getting Away from the Cold!

A couple weekends ago Ava and I flew to Phoenix to see my sister Lori! We had too much fun being together, We are ridiculously alike! Carter is so big and is so fun to be with!!

We were in shock going from 55 degree weather with rain and the day prior SNOW to 90+ degree weather!! I loved it. We swam and caught some rays!

I even got to meet up with my old highschool friend and roomate at Ricks Lindsey Hahn Johnson! It was a great trip! Thanks Lori for a fun weekend.................I can't wait to come again very soon!!

Me and my kids!

Aunt Lori came for a visit and took a couple shots of us.....it wasn't planned, so we don't match.
How cute are these kids!!

These are the faces of a 3 year old princess....happy one minute, sassy the next! Now it is well documented!
