A day with Nicole's family

One of the ladies that I have had the honor to meet online came to Colorado to visit one of her friends and we were able to meet up as well. Her husband is deployed to Iraq right now and they live in Texas. Well it was her kids Spring Break this last week and she came here to visit. We decided to go the the zoo and it turned out to be a beautiful day! She has a lovely family and our kids got along great. We might just have to make a family trip to Austin to meet up with her again.

Silly faces!

I'm not sure how Cooper has learned this, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with his two older brothers. He has started making silly faces. It is so funny cause he yells at you to look at him and then he does it, but the funniest is when he tries to get Tim's attention he yells Daddy a couple times and it he does not look then he yells "Tim, Tim, yook!" Little stinker!












Oh and then with our kitty getting older she has decided that she no longer wants to use the doggy door to go to the bathroom so we got a new cat box, to bad Cooper thinks it is another sand box to play in. Luckily it was brand new litter! Yeesh!

Good Lunch Great Friends!

A couple weeks ago a few of my High School friends met up and had lunch together. It was so much fun catching up with each of them. There were a few from our "gang" that could not make it but we still had fun with out them....sorry guys! Emily, Rhonda, Alicia and Michelle came and we had a great time. Thanks Em for putting it together!

Let the Races begin.....

Well the Pinewood Derby is here again and Spencer, Tim and Cameron each made cars to race in it. Last year Spencer's car took 2nd over all, this year he tried a different design and did a great job, but it was just not as fast as last years car. But he did really well at not getting upset about it and just had fun with it. Which is a huge improvement for him cause he is SO competitive. Cameron and Tim raced in the open class. Tim took 4th place and little Cameron took 1st place!!! He was so excited. So he got a metal, a race pin and got to stand up in front of everyone.

Spending Time with Uncle Kyle and Family......

On Sunday we went out to Uncle Kyle's to have him help the boys cut out there Pinewood Derby cars. Yes it is that time of year again, getting ready for the races. Once we had the cars cut out we went out to check the cows. It is calving season on the farm. So there were babies everywhere, and some mama's ready to have babies any minute. Those babies are so darn cute. There were even a couple mama's that had twins this year, and a couple more that have not had babies yet but look big enough that they to might have twins. Then the boys had to climb all over the tractors and run across the hay bales. On the way back home we got to drive past the old farm house I grew up in and show it to Tim and the boys. Wow lots of memories driving back there. It was probably close to 20 years since I had seen it. I didn't even think to stop and take a picture of it though.....duh! Oh well! It was still a nice and relaxing day.

Cooper just wanted to throw the ball for the dog

This one was just about and hour or so old when we found it.....so cute!

She looks like she is ready to have that baby!

My Wolf is now a Bear

Spencer has completed the requirements to go from being a Wolf to being a Bear in Cub Scouts. This past Saturday was the annual Blue and Gold dinner to honor those that have moved up in rank. We had a great time at the dinner although it can get rather long. They did have a magician there this year that did a great show for the boys this year. Cameron even got to go up and help with one of the tricks. He loved that! Way to go Spencer, I know you worked hard at getting that done! Y

Spencer puts a wolf pin on Tim first then...
