4th of JULY pictures to come....

Paul took a few GREAT pictures I can't wait to POST them; ) And Aunt Rachael and Uncle Ben and Aunt Kristina are here with their girls, and I got a few good ones of all of them - FUN!

A Trip to Colorado

The girls and I were invited to go visit Luke, and stay at Aunt Pam and Uncle Wes's house! Chloe and Ellie LOVE Uncle Wes! So off we went for the greatest weekend! Of course, no camera: ( The only pictures I have are terrible, from my phone: (
The first day we played all day at "airplane park" with Jenn's cute kids! That night, Luke showed us around 16th Street Mall, we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, rode on a horse and carriage, ate icecream, gave money to all the street preformers and laughed all night long!

We were invited to a breakfast in the Garden of Cari Cardon and boy was that a treat! Hot chocolate in fine china, pancakes, homemade syrup, fruit, granola, yogurt and more! We felt like queens!

Saturday we went to Elitch Gardens (amusement park) Luke and Chloe went on all the scary rides while Ellie and I ate cotten candy and popcorn; ) They got their faces painted and they LOVED it!!!!! But after Luke and I decided we were getting a little old, our stomachs just can't hack it anymore!


We had the greatest time! Thank you so much!

While I was in NYC

The girls were with Kristina and Ben while I was in New York and my sweet cousin Natalie and Brandon West. They had a blast, they love to be with their cousins, and adore Kristina! Here are some pictures from Kristina's Blog.




THANK YOU KRISTINA AND NAT : )

Guilty of stealing!

We have been having the best summer, and none of it is documented except on my sister's cameras. (The last month of school I had my camera stolen at my 8th Grade Poetry Slam:( SO THANK YOU RACHAEL, KRISTINA, and KATIE for letting me always steal your pictures!

First my little sister and I went to New York City and had a blast! The funny thing is we didn't take any pictures but of our cute little/big faces: ) The time together was priceless, the first time ever in our lives to go somewhere without children or spouces! She is my greatest friend! (Thank you Dan for the tickets, the best Christmas present to date!)
This is on the plane ride there!

First night out to dinner! YUMMY!

Me on Canal Street

Cho was a true New Yorkin : ) that's what she kept saying instead of New Yorker!
On the Subway!


In Time Square
We also went to WICKED, the best play ever! We have waited for years to see this and it was wonderful!
Flight home - First Class
So much fun, but we were ready to get home to see our babies!

FANCY NANCY PARTY

This is Fancy Nancy one of our FAVORITE book characters! The girls and I love this book series! The girls were invited to a Fancy Nancy party by their cousin Allison Nancy Waite.

They had so much fun dressing up.

Chloe wanted her tutu "long and modest" :o )

"Should we pose like America's Next Top Model?" - Chloe


Ellie wanted her tutu "short and cute" - I'm in trouble with this one; )

These two are Best Friends, I don't know what they would do with out each other!

(I have to admit I had fun doing the tutus- the first project I've done in along time that was not school-related; )

Rio Grande ZOO

We went to the zoo this weekend. I had to run to ABQ real quick this weekend and we decided to make the best of it!


They watched the monkeys forever!



And they talked me into letting them ride a camel. I got out the sanitizer after that ride!


They had a lot of fun! It was a beautiful day!



We also went to the DInosaur Museum.

105 degrees in the first of MAY

My mom called me on Friday May 8th, at school 1:30 pm, "Do you want to go to Phoenix? We are leaving at 5:00." (Of course, if you know me, I'm always up for a trip; ) "Sure mom! I get off at 4:15 pm I'll pack up the girls and we will be ready!"
We went down there to see Bodee and Alisa's Family! They are so great! We miss them so much and it was nice to have some time with them! We went to Colton's State Baseball game - they won, even in the heat, it was 105 + degrees! And then went and watched Colton play at a club!
My girls are MAJOR Colton Fans!

I took this with my phone- forgot my camera: (


This was the poster for his jig!
