COUSINS

I took so many pictures of all the kids and not sure I did better than what is below. It is hard to get all the cousins to sit and look at you all at once. Kristen got some, so I may have to see if any of those are any better.

WEEK 2 BRECK cont

I think I took more pics the second week...or I just cannot choose which ones to pick, so I am posting a lot.


Andrew did not like waiting on the people in front of us to finish.

Grampie helping Joshua cast.

Two mischevious boys...if these two went to the same school there would be trouble.

Thankfully they are not looking under someones skirt.

Grampie giving the boys a pep talk about baseball...or just taking a break.

Quandary...over 14K feet.

WEEK 2 IN BRECK

Week two began with a bar-b-q fair in Dillon. Is there anything more fun than bounce houses, racing, and funnel cake? We also played at the park, took the Gondola up to Peak 8 Family Fun Park, played putt-putt, watched a flag football tournament, watched kids do bike and skate board jumps, hiked Quandary, more hot tub, fishing, Andrew's birthday celebration, wagon rides and sitting on the deck.


All the boys racing...they did this for about 30 minutes.

Funnel Cake...Yum!

Jack pushing sissy down the slide.

Don't you think the boys would love to go to the X-Games?

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

The alarm was set for 6:50 am. I struggled a bit to get out of bed, but finally got out of bed at 7:00. As I was opening my bedroom door there was Joshua walking down the hall. He was very excited and ready to start his day. He had no problem with his morning routine. I made smiley face pancakes, we put his lunch together (PB&J of course), and took some pictures by the yard sign. Then Jeff, Andrew, and I headed off to HPPM. We parked and walked him into his classroom (the only day we can do it). He was all smiles and laughter until the classroom. He was quiet in the classroom, but he was brave and we are sure he will have a wonderful day. I have had tears...Andrew has been angry. We all deal with this new chapter in our own ways. It was a great start to the day!!!

WILDFLOWERS OF CO

Just as it says...some wildflowers in Breckenridge. There are so many wonderful, beautiful flowers to look at. It is so calming and uplifting to just see nature here. God is amazing in all his creations!

BRECK - FIRST WEEK cont

More pics from the first week...there are so many it is hard to choose.


Momma and baby bear cubs. Do you think she is smiling at me? I was hanging out of the sunroof to take a picture.

Henry the Octopus, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Ring Master, and Captain Feathersword...the boys had a lot of fun!

Andrew, Jeff, and Joshua about to start the Burrow Trail, into town from the house. The boys both walked into town and back...the trail is about a mile and a half.

Oh yeah! The first week also included some bear watching from our car and back deck.

BRECK - FIRST WEEK

Jeff the boys and I managed to make it to Breckenridge, CO for a 2 week family vacation. Below are pictures from our first week. Jeff's parents and Jeff's sister's family, Kristen, are here. We are having some good times, especially watching the kids become good friends.
First week included playing at Carter Park, going to the Rocky Mountain Children's Museum, the Wiggles Live in Denver(pics to come), riding the Gondola, hanging in town, hiking (pics to come), and playing at the house. It has been raining so much here.

B-I-N-G-O

Cousin Jack, Joshua, and Andrew had a blast using Mimi's containers and kitchen utensils for their band.

FIRST PICS

For those of you that read my blog you know that I have been MIA for a while now. Andrew broke my camera and I have had no pictures to post. Well, that is not necessarily true. Jeff's dad has taken many pictures for me and I was too lazy to post them. However, I do have a camera now and below you will find some of the first pictures I took with my new camera. It is an SLR Pentax camera, so I stayed up the night I got the camera reading and practicing taking pictures. I know that I will not be perfect at taking the pictures, but it can only get better the more I learn.
