1st Camping trip

2 weeks ago we went on the boys first camping trip, lucky for us we got to go with 3 other families! We had the best time i mean really, it was awesome. We knew Gavin and Colin would do great, just werent to sure about Nolan, but he did perfect, couldnt have asked for a better baby. He was in his pack n play most of the time, kinda in the middle of everyone, i mean what baby doesnt want to be the center of attention, right? We hung out during the day watching all 8 kids play so well together, running up the hill and sliding back down. Wandering through the trees trying to find something magical. Jason and Darrell got us some wood and then time for dinner and soon after that SMORES!! One of the families left due to their newborn needed to be home. We sat a round for a while just watching the kids, then soon it was getting dark and time for the kiddos to go to bed. Which really went very well, they were settled in a matter of minutes. With the fire roaring it was time to crack open the beers and sit around the fire with no little ears. It was a riot, we laughed so hard, it was the highlight! The night was a bit colder than we thought it was going to be so the kids slept with us for warmth, except for Gavin who refused, and somehow slept the best. so note to self... camp when the nights are warmer! Morning was cold and Jason got the fire started right away, we had some pop-tart breakfast and started packing up. thats when the story takes a turn for the mud, laughs, tears and well nerves. When we got there we crossed a little creek about a foot deep. The way over it was a little hairy but not to bad. the way back well the Vue went first and by holding our breath (and pushing) they got out but not before digging some holes in the mud. Then the Edge went and well lets just say we didnt think they were getting out, but by some miracle and lots of pushing they got out, again digging some holes in the mud. Now its the beasts turn... aka... our blazer. We thought ahh, no problem its way higher and well its the beast. Not so fast, we so didnt make it out of there, there was another way to the right that was pretty steep, i told Jason it would be no problem, but he had to try different ways, sure enough it came down to my way, and it took 2 times and we were out!! On the road home and we were ready for home! All in all it was a great trip, we want to go again soon!!

March, April and June

so lets just pretend that the month of May did not happen... yes i know thats not possible but according to my blog it didnt. What really happened is that May over happened, we did so many things. I will not bore you so i will post pics and sidebars about how it went, beacuse really arent the pictures that best?!? Mothers Day was awesome, we did our annual Fox Run picnic. The boys were as sweet as always and it was just nice to have that day. Mom of 3 boys , i love that this is my title!

Colin had a bite of a Mothers Day cupcake, you may not know but they put extra icing when its Mothers day ;)

Nolans Bathtub Hairdo, what a rockstar. I do have to say that Nolans favorite time of the day is bath time. He hears that water running and high tails (crawls) it to the bathroom, cute!

Thanx to Grandma and Grandpa, we got to go out for a night! We went out for a nice dinner and a local concert. So proud to be married to that man!
Takin' the top off, i know 3 boys that thought that was the coolest thing ever.
Royal Gorge bridge, yes i made it across... We had some wonderful family come into town to bury my Great Aunt (will post about that later), and got to spend some fun time with them. It was a great day, and awesome to spend time with them!!
