Fall Family Fun

I came across this web site and thought I'd give it a try. It is called "Smilebox". It was fun creating this picture book. I think I will try to do more! Enjoy!

Just Plain Fun Family Time

Here are some pictures of my kiddos just chillin out. We had a few days alone as a family this summer and it was a nice time. We are blessed to go to my grandparents cabin every now and then. I have very fond memories as a child visiting the cabin with my family. Now, my kiddos will get the same opportunity to reflect on the fun times too!

Summer Reunion

Alan's Family had a reunion in June. So much fun was had by all. It was a nice time to spend together, hanging out and enjoying each other's company. The kiddos had a lot of fun, hiking, canoeing, swimming, rafting, floating down the river on tubes, roller skating, playing basketball, ZIP lining, ping pong and playing putt, putt. Maydra and I made a new game out of Putt Putt and called it Putterzice. You run and hit the ball in the hole and go to the next and the next and the next. It was so much fun, giggling and racing to see who could finish first. With the high altitude and lack of exercise I think Mayday beat me at this fun game! : ) This is what probably caused her to have pneumonia the next week! Parker and baby Sophie both came down with the crud. Parker's turned into pneumonia. He was down for the next two weeks! Bummer dude! We missed those family members who could not be with us! Hopefully next time!

Visit to Colorado's State Capital with a bunch of 5th Graders!!!! : )

I had the opportunity to visit our state's capital on a field trip with Parker's class. I've never been to the capital and found it to be a very interesting place. Our tour guide was an awesome lady who shared many tidbits of information with us. I don't know about all those 5th graders but I sure learned a lot. I have a better appreciation for our legislation...I may not agree with everything they do but....history will tell! The day was rainy, sleeting snow, to snow to rain again! Brrrrr!!!! We also visited the Colorado Mint...another informative place to see...we were not allowed to take pictures or take any bags into the mint and I found out why....you see Colorado is one of the host of 1/3 of the nations gold!!!! They wouldn't tell us were it was kept...can you believe the nerve of our guide?

The Week of Call Performers

Last weekend Tyler and Nick were involved in a Dinner Theater. They both shined on stage and it was so fun to be apart of this time in their lives. Tyler's play was a funny, serious story line. His part varied from the student of the future, Mr. Walt Disney, child from the sound of Music, Star Wars fan and victim of the Oklahoma City bombing. My favorite line of his from the play was...."duh, it's called money"! Nick played the part of Fred Blatterman....an old man who had a very big problem with his "bladder"! He stole the show....we laughed and laughed at him. He didn't have very many lines ... his was all about his facial expressions and body postures. My favorite line of his was "oh...you have to go too?" after another cast member answered a question with "Oui, Oui!) and then he shuffels off the stage as fast as his little steps would take him! Both casts did a fantastic job and it was a wonderful evening!


Parker and Cassie both performed this week also. They were in their music concert at school. Once again Miss. Chengery did a fabulous job with these kiddos! The songs were lively and fun. You can tell the kids just love to sing and love their teacher. We always look forward to these concerts...they are not the typical elementary concerts. Miss. Jen was involved with "Up With People" so she includes dances, solos and hand/arm motions! They are fantizimo!!!! : )
