The kids did not like this ride

This was the favorite ride of the day!

We decided to go and walk around at the Greeley Stampede and ride some rides at the carnival. We ended the day with a Monkey Show and Snow Cones. Here are some of the pictures I took of our fun day!!!

Father's Day

June 21, 2009

I think Ryan had a good day. The kids picked out an outfit and a tie. Then they made these funny figures out of scrap my head was a princess ring and Ryan's head was a snowman here is a close up of Aspen and Brit. I thought they were pretty cute. Later in the day we had the Halls over for dinner. It was a great day!

Girls Night Out

June 20, 1999

I had a great night out with my good friends. We have all been friends for about 5 years. We scrapbook monthly (pretty consistently) and have been getting together with our family for New Years Eve ever since we met. We have had many great girls night out but this is one of my favorite. We love to go to Johnny Carrinos and have Italian Cream Sodas and go to the movies. The first time we went to Carrinos to have Italian Cream sodas I think we tried all 8 or 10 flavors, but now I think we all have our favorites. We have had some bad movie experiences, one time even had one of us snoring (literally). This time we went to see The Proposal we laughed all the way through. We tried to get a picture with all of us holding up our candy bags but it didn't work so well, but we had fun trying. I LOVE MY FRIENDS THEY ARE A HUGE BLESSING IN MY LIFE!!! We will miss you Terra!!!

An Afternoon With The Hall Girls

June 19th, 2009

Our good friends The Halls are moving to Canada at the end of July so we are trying to get a lot of playtime with them before they leave. We decided to take them to the Centennial Pool with us to swim and we had a great time. I took this picture right before we left.

Britain Quote

June 17, 2009

Britain and I were having a conversation about him being a good strong swimmer and he said "MOM I NEED TO LAY OFF THE SUGAR, PLEASE TELL ME NO WHENEVER I ASK YOU TO BUY ME SOME SUGAR". Sugar=candy he wants it everyday and bad to say I indulge him alot!

Scrapbook Pages

I have been slacking on my scrapbooking and finally started to get back into it. So I decided to show you a couple layouts I have done recently. These are a couple activities Aspen did when she was in 2nd grade. If you like the first layout I used a "Reflections" layout from Close to my Heart. They have great ideas and its an easy way to get started on a page.

Swim and Tennis Lessons

Aspen with her instuctors Ben and Patrick

Nice Back Hand

Water Dude!!!

Brit loves the water!!!

This first two weeks of June we found ourselves on the tennis court and the swimming pool (with all this rain indoors thank goodness). Aspen has been taking tennis for 3 summers now and loves it. Next summer we will get her into some games and see what happens. She had two great instructors Ben and Patrick. I especially liked Ben he gave Aspen some really great tips to improve her game.

Britain took level 2 swim lessons and did great but really needs to work on his back glide and being able to swim farther across the pool. But all and all he did great and we will hopefully do another lesson before the summer is gone.

Britain Is Riding A Bike!!!

June 6th, 2009

Britain tried last year to ride without training wheels but just really couldn't get his balance. But the last two weeks we have been taking walks daily and he has been riding his scooter and getting really good at balancing and doing great with it, so we decided he probably could balance now so Aspen took him out and he got it right away!!! So now he is officially a two wheeling dude!!!

1st week of summer!!!

We had our friends Reynna and Christopher over for most of the week. The last day they were over the girls planned a day of fun for the boys. They made crafts and then the girls did the boys hair. It was pretty funny so I took some pictures. It was a great way to start are summer adventures!!!

Our Basement Flooded!!!!

We went to pull weeds in our garden and when we were done we saw black clouds just pouring rain. When we got home I went and checked our basement windows to make sure nothing was flooding and when I went down the stairs I heard the horrid sound of a waterfall COMING FROM OUR BASEMENT WINDOW!!! Oh yeah the trials of life!!!!!

Field Day

We had a great day at Field Day! Ryan went and watched Aspen in the morning and I went to watch Britain in the afternoon! They both had fun, what a great way to end the school year! Here are some pictures we took.

Hannah Movie

Aspen and her friend Reynna have been wanting to see the Hannah Montana movie. So my friend Alanna and I decided to take our girls to see it. We had a great time. It was fun to have some Mother Daughter time!!!

Cozy Cow Field Trip

Britain had his last field trip for the year. I got some cute pictures so I thought I would share them. We had a great time. We saw them milk cows and got to try some fresh milk and cheese curds. We also got to pet some animals. It has been a great year with Brit, he has grown so much and learned more than I knew was possible. Just ask him some time to name the continents and oceans. He really loves his teacher Mrs. Czapenski and we will miss her next year. I don't know what I will do with all my free time next year with both kids in all day school. It will be a new adventure!

Our Garden

Our church has farm land and has been really encouraging gardens so they are letting members plant a garden. We are so excited. We have two rows, we didn't use it all because it was really long. We planted cucumber, green peppers, green onions, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, habenero peppers, 3 different types of squash, pumpkins, carrots, peas and carrots. I think that is it, we have no idea what we are doing. So we will either have it all die or have more than we know what to do with. If nothing else we will have time together as a family tending to our garden. Stay tuned to see what happens!
