Love her....

This was just a random, everyday picture I took just messing around with my phone camera, but I love it. It captured her sweetness perfectly. love you bean :)

Depeche Mode

Amazing as usual... I think we have only missed one of their concerts, and I remember that was torture! They are so awesome live and Dave Gahan can still dance that's for sure. John and Jamie had 2 extra tickets and let us have them, thanks guys you are awesome. It was so fun, thanks to my parents too for watching the kids and running them here and there to their stuff :) I added one of my favorite songs of theirs... love it :)

Back to school

The morning went as usual, trying to get Bryn ready and get her breakfast is a hour process at least. She looked so cute though... Jade is a lot faster, I cant believe he is in 6th grade, I have to admit, I dont like it :( I missed them lots but it was nice too.... Here are the standard first day pics, I have to do them in the same place every year, and Bryn has an "eye attack" which my family used to call it when I did the same thing she does. She cant open her eyes long enough to get a good pic.. :) Love her Kermit backpack, I want one :)

One last hurrah

We decided very last minute to go to Denver, Steve had a couple jobs there so we thought it would be fun to go with him and go to a Rockies game.. It worked out perfect, they were playing The Giants ( Jades favorite team, and mine too ) So glad we went, it was a perfect evening for a game. I love major league games. The whole atmosphere is so exciting to me. The players on the field, the lights, the food, the perfectly groomed grass, the sounds, the smells, people watching, EVERYTHING. We went early and watching batting practice and Jade got 3 home run balls. We got to see his favorite player and awesome pitcher Tim Lincecum up close, it was worth every penny to watch Jade, it was like he was in heaven. After the game we headed out and drove a few hours and stayed in Vail for the night, then it was off to John and Jamie's cabin. We hadn't seen it completely done and it is so beautiful, I am so happy for them. We got there and my parents were there and Jade hopped right on the 4 wheeler and we didn't see much of him after that. He was a natural at it. They made us a yummy dutch oven dinner and we made a fire and had S"MORES.. They have a loft with beds up there and we slept up there. The kids loved that, until the loudest thunder I have EVER heard happened! The next day Jamie made us Belgian waffles with strawberries and cream and they were to die for. Then spent most of the day 4 wheeling, playing mini golf on the course they made, hunting for lizards and horny toads. It was so fun and so pretty up there, Jade keeps bugging Steve to get a 4 wheeler now. Somehow I don't think he will have to twist his arm too hard. Now its back to school...

Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my!

And lets not forget the cutest little baby giraffe ever! We had so much fun going to the zoo with the Shorts. Thank you for inviting us!

500 Days Of Summer

So last Thursday night I had my night all planned... The kids were at Grandmas having a sleepover, Steve was out of town. I had my Bunco that night and after that I was planning on finally being able to scrapbook... However my plans changed, because of the crazy windy weather our power went out, and I was stuck home all alone in the dark. I waited around for awhile and decided instead of being creeped out that I would go to a movie. ( Glad I did, the power didnt come on till 3:30am ) It was like 10:00 when I decided to go, so I didnt want to ask a friend to go. So I went to 500 days of summer, alone, and I LOVED IT..... Go see it, Thank me later...
Im getting good at this going all alone stuff :)

Cupcake

Brynlees cute little hamster skittles passed away today, and she had this brilliant idea! We are watching Milo this weekend so she said " lets take Milo to Petsmart and get a new one! " So that is what we did... The one she picked out is so cute and tame... There was no way you could hold them usually and this one actually lets you. She named her cupcake because she is round :) Hopefully we have good luck with this one, she is really cute and its rare to get one that you can hold.

Dog Days of Summer.......

Milo

We were lucky last weekend and got to watch cute little Milo! Brynlee was in heaven. She ADORES him and is so proud to be seen with him and takes such good care of him. We took him to Jades game and she had a blast showing him off. Of course he slept on her bed, and they looked so cute! He is like a real live stuffed animal! Thanks Aunt Kim for letting us watch him! We love you MILO!
