Here We Go Again!

So we have been MIA lately, and I have made a goal to blog once a week. We'll see.... Here we go again!!
This is just some of the stuff we have been up to lately. (since this time last year. YIKES!)
 
 
      Dinosaur Museum with the kids and their cousin Aidan.
                       
                           OUR FAMILY STAY-CATION
 
We stayed at the Holiday Inn, and went to the Hollywood Connection, went swimming, and out to eat. All of the things you do on a real vacation, except everything is jammed into 2 days! The kids had a blast and asked when we could do it again!
 Mike and the kids mini-golfing. Bubba is so stubborn, when Mike tried to help him, he yanked the club back and swung. It paid off because he got a hole in one!!!!! 
    After breakfast in the hotel restaurant. They loved that fire!

 Belle's first experience with roller skating! The kids didn't really love this part. It was really loud, and they kept falling down. The next day Boo was complaining her bum bones hurt.( Her bottom was sore because she fell down sooo many times)
                                           Cute Bubba!
                                           LOVE THEM!!!!
                              

                           SLEDDING WITH MEGAN AND BRANDON
 Sledding with Megan and Brandon this winter. Megan and Brandon gave the kids sleds Christmas 2010, but it was such a dry winter they never got to use them. So we were so happy to be able to use them this year.
 Megan and Belle. Hard to recognize Meg right? Could be something to do with the 25 layers she had on. She is not a hug fan of the cold!
     Brandon and Libby! She loves her uncle Brandon, even if he is a Ute fan!
           Those are some cute kids!
 Mike and the kids. They did actually go down like that. I was holding my breath the whole time.
 
 
Brandon and Bubba all tuckered out from climbing up the big hill. 
 
 
BUBBA TURNS 2!!!!!
  How can he be that big????? His latest obsession's are Buzz, Woody, McQueen, Mater,  and any sports! And not necessarily in that order.

 I love this picture, because he had just barely gotten a Buzz Lightyear gun from my parents and he used his gun to blow out his candles. And it actually worked!! See his pumped fist! Love it!!!


                              KITE FLYING WITH GREAT-GRANDPA

  Megan and Brandon gave Bubba a kite for his birthday. Good gift givers right?
                                      Bubba and Grandma flying the kite.
                                The three kids watching the dragon kite fly.

 

 
              Boo and Bubba rolling down the hill. At least she was trying teach him how to.
 This was a great day for Grandpa, he was able to fly the kite sitting in the chair. It was really cool for me and for my kids to see him do this, and to cheer him on. He had so much fun! He was telling us stories of when he was a kid, and how they used to fly kites on the roofs in New York. As the days go by, and the good days become fewer and fewer, it is days like this that I will always cherish!
                                                              Easter 2012


Spring Sports!!!
Rylee played soccer, and she loved it! Libby played tee-ball, she didn't like it all that much. She like hitting but other than that she was pretty unenthusiastic.

Bubba felt a little left out, so occasionally he would steal the team equipment and try it on. A few time he thought he would just join in on the game!
 

Boo getting ready to swing. She looks good, right?? Oh, I forgot to mention that Mike was her coach, and she loved that, and the game treats. Swinging, treats, and Coach Daddy. Other than that she didn't love it or really even like it!
 

 
HIKING TO DOUGHNUT FALLS
 

 


                                                      

                                                          THE LATEST ADDITION
I am baby-sitting a little boy Bubba's age twice a week. They love each other! Hey, Tony!


                              GRANDMA BRENDA'S WORK PARTY!
                That is Belle climbing the wall. She was one of the fastest kids I saw doing it.
                                                        


                                             4TH OF JULY

 Parade! It was a really nice parade, but by 10:00 in the morning it was like 95 degrees. Sooo hot!!! We were melting.
