TX Trip

Me and the kids spent a few weeks in Texas this summer visiting my sister her husband and my niece Ashylnn. The kids loved playing with Ashylnn and we enjoyed spending time with them. Larry spoiled us by cooking wonderful dinners every night, a great break for me. We spent many days at the pool since it was so very hot. We did go to the Dallas Zoo on one of the days... we were all drenched in sweat, but still fun. It would be so nice if they could sell their house soon and move out here.

Bye to Dunlop

I wanted to make a special dedication to our dog Dunlop who will be missed dearly. Clint brought her home to us to surprise me, she was just a little five week old puppy! We have so many wonderful memories with her and hate this was her time to leave us. She will be missed and loved always.

Fireworks!

We had a nice fourth of July weekend. Saturday we met up with the Britt's and my parents to BBQ and watch the fireworks in Parker. The kids really liked the fireworks show. Travis couldn't stop talking about them and Avery just watched in amazement. On Sunday our neighbors were having a block party, we had fun until they started setting off fireworks which these were just too loud for Travis so instead of staying while he covered his ears we went home. The kids watched later out of his window which worked good because it was raining off and on.

Let's build a word

Travis did the cuties thing today. He was watching word world and when it was over he said he wanted to build a box like on world word. He said "I have letters in my frog." He then went upstairs to his bathroom and brought down his bath frog which holds all of his alphabet letters to build a word. Too cute!

June

June was a fun month, we went to the Rockies game on Father's Day which was a lot of fun!! Travis is a good age for these activities now. We also took a trip to Utah to visit my Grandma Sandman and my mom. The kids loved visiting Nana, she always makes you feel welcome and the kids especially liked going to her pool!

May

May was filled with lots of fun activities, some that made the list were the Zoo, of course we had Mother's Day and Travis celebrated his last day of Preschool. The kids highlight of the Zoo was the carousel. Travis especially is really into rides right now. For Mother's Day I took Clint's mom & my step-mom to breakfast, it was a nice morning for me to have time away from the kids. My big boy just finished his first year of Preschool. He is growing up so fast and getting smarter and braver. May was a good Month.

April

Well it's pretty sad when your about 4 months behind on blogging. life always seems to get the best of me. I still want to recap some fun moments we had in the last few months. In April we went to Pueblo to watch Clint race, the kids always love going to the dirt track and spending time together as a family.



I also took the kids to the annual Shriner's Circus, Grandpa Britt is involved every year and wants to take the kids, so off we went. I wish I could say it's a stunning show, but not usually. If you have seen it once... you have seen enough, and doesn't seem to change year by year. I will say the kids had fun so that is what counts.
