Colorado visit, July 2010

We just got home from a really fun trip to visit my family in Colorado. I always try to get some good pictures of my kids with my Dad's amazing camera. I love crying pictures. Look at that little tongue!
Cute Blakie

Sit down, Crazy boy!

This is the only good one I got of the two of them together. Blake looks so much like Warren in this one and I love seeing Clayton's little toothy grin. He had to hold that dive stick.
This is what happened when I tried to take it away....so sad.
Nearly every time Kim and I get together, we try to get a decent picture of us. We've come to the conclusion time and time again that it is frankly NOT POSSIBLE! This photo shoot was the best we've ever had I think....which is sayin' something!
Awkward! Hahaha
Rudely our photo-shoot was interrupted by two Buzz Lightyear kids. I actually like this one the best of all of them because it captures how our life always is together. I love you, Sis. Thanks for letting us take over your house. We loved it!
Gorgeous!
My brother Ryan, chill-axin. I think I'm way too old to use that term.
His cute daughter, Shayla. Can you guess who did her hair this morning? What can I say, she likes clips....a lot.

I got new bangs and I'm still trying to decide if I love them.
More cute sadness.
Clayton was crazy whenever there was the possiblity of going outside. He would stand at the door and cry to go out in the grass. He loved running down their sloped backyard and I was constantly panicked he would fall and smack his face on the concrete patio. No one wanted to help me watch him because he was so busy. He liked to carry around the foam golf clubs and freaked out when Uncle Brian try to help him turn it so that he could fit down the slide with it.
He is having major withdrawls now that we are home to scortching Gravel-Town.
Gavin (9) read a book to Blake and Dayne(6). So sweet.


Clayton didn't want to stay in the hot-tub. All he wanted to do was romp in the grass and climb.

The kids enjoyed a lot of popsicles in the evenings.

And snuggled in Kim's big bed together in the mornings.

Every night we had scripture, prayer, and story time together.
It was really fun to do with the cousins.
Aunt Kim taught Blake how to read his first book! He read two stories with her help while we were there. I am going ot have to buy the Bob books to continue practicing. He's so smart.
We went to a really fun indoor pool a couple times and had a great time with all the cousins. I especially loved when my sis-in-law Andrea watched Clayton so I could go down the 2 big waterslides with my nephew Gavin.
Dayne and his mom, Andrea
Clayton and I under attack
It was so nice to not have to slather sunscreen on my kids to go swimming.
My mom was really sick for most of the time I was there, so I was disappointed that I only got to see her for a few days. I guess I'll just have to go back soon, or convince her to come here!
