Strawberry Hot Springs

We went to our favorite hot springs up by Steamboat Springs. We love going to this hot springs, it has a cold river right next to the hot springs water so you can go back and forth between cold and hot!





The drive home! It was so pretty and you can still see the snow in the mountains!

Summer Fun

I don't know if anyone ever even looks at this blog anymore besides you mom! I think Facebook took over! Anyway just wanted to post some pictures from the summer so far! We have had a lot of fun so far! We took the boat out the other night and it was so nice and relaxing and warm. Here is one of the kids and their cousin.
Poor Corbin, I couldn't find his smaller life vest so he had to wear Ryan's and it was too big and smashed his cheeks together! He is saying cheese in this picture below!

The kids warming up after a swim in the water! The sun was going down and it was so nice out!

Corbin's first ride on the motorcycle with dad! He was a little unsure at first but by the end he was crying when we took him off because he liked it so much!


Ashley being silly!

Corbin at a splash park waiting for the water to come up!
What a good sister! Hailey carried Corbin around for a while! They had fun!

Ryan running through the water!


Swimming with their cousins!

New Camera

I got a new camera and had to play around with it! I am still trying to find which settings work best with different places and lighting. Anyway I took a bunch of the kids at the park Yesterday and these are my favorites. It was hot and the kids weren't that cooperative after a while so these are the best.

Happy Birthday Hailey!!

My Hailey girl tuned a big 7 years old on Sunday! I can't believe it my kids are growing up on me! Hailey got Roller Blades like Ashley did! Now they have tons of fun doing it together with ones that actually fit them! They were using ones way to big! Hailey also got a necklace, a book and a letter making kit! She had a fun day! She wanted a cake with lots of whipped cream so I got her an angel food one with strawberry and tons of whip cream and I also made brownies! We had lunch and cake at grandma's house and so I didn't get any pics of her with the whole cake and candles!

Ashley's Birthday and Baptism

I can't believe my girl is 8 years old! Ashley had a great birthday this year! She got roller blades, some art supplies, jewelry and new clothes! The best part she got to get baptized that night of her Birthday! My parents and my niece Kimmi came up for it! Ashley looked so beautiful in her white dress. Ashley is a good girl and I am so proud of her and the good decisions she is making in her life! The kids have been having tons of fun with grandma and grandpa and cousin Kimmi here!

 

Rude lady at the Park

So yesterday my friend, Kristi, and I were hangin out at the park. Well this big dog comes running up and all over. The dog went over to another dog and was growling a little. Then the owner comes over with her grand daughter and they start playing a little. Her dog comes over to my friend and her 1 year old baby and licks them, she pushes it away and the dog just stands there. Well the owner lady comes and tells the dog to lay down and stay but it doesn't stay for long. The dog went right back over by us. Well then Corbin my 1 year old walks right up to the dog, so I pick him up. Well this is the conversation after I picked him up.

Rude Lady: "Now why do you have to make your kids afraid of dogs?"

Me: "No I just don't want his face licked."

Rude Lady: "Well if that's the worst thing that happens to him."

Me: "I don't know your dog and that's gross I don't want his face licked."

Rude Lady: "That's great your at the park and you hate dogs."

Me: "You do what you want with your kids, I'll do what I want with mine."

Rude Lady: No ones telling you what to do with your kids. Young moms don't even know how to have fun."

She turns around and leaves. OK is there something wrong with this picture. This lady was so offended that I would pick up my small 1 year old when he walk right up to her dog. First of all she never told us it was friendly with kids, and aren't you suppose to caution your children not to just walk up to any ole dog. I was so mad after she left because I thought of all these good things I could of said. Her stinkin dog wasn't even on a leash either and that is a law here that all dogs must be on leashes at the park. And I'm am sorry but I kiss my baby's face and I didn't want her big dogs slobber all over his face. If I would have left him the dog would have turned and knocked him right over. So she made 3 judgments on me, one that I teach my kids to be afraid of dogs two that I hate dogs and three that I am not a fun mom!

Ryan at the Rockies game

Daniel took Ryan to a Rockies replay game on Saturday. Ryan loved it so much and loves his new hat that daddy bought him! I just looked at these pictures when they got home and couldn't believe how much Ryan has grown up lately! He is just so cute and he is just growing up like the girls did...tooooo fast!
