Fried Eggs Anyone???

So Fred and I were out burning the thousands of tumble weeds in our back yard and I decided to sit down on the porch. I looked over to the grill and saw some sticks sticking out from the inside of the grill. I opened it and look what I found!!! I am amazed what a little bird can do. My kids are so concerned, they say I can't use the grill now. WHATEVER, I'm having me some free BBQ meat.

Alpine Loop

Sunday was such a beautiful day that we decided to go for a hike and a picnic. The kids had so much fun exploring the mountains. They all love to be outside. There was still snow up in the mountains so we found a hiking trail closer to the mouth of the canyon. Of course Jake thought he could climb where ever his older brothers did. He is so fun to watch. Max and Wyatt are great brothers, always helping Jake get to where they were. We had so much fun and can't wait to do this often. We all love to be in the beautiful mountains. We are very grateful to have such beauty all around us.

Books Needed

I'm really excited for this book/bake sale! Contribute to something grand, while purchasing good reads for cheap and picking up a sweet treat! A rare pleasure for sure.

Here's what we still need: BOOKS! Don't forget cookbooks, textbooks, and child/teen literature. Please contact me if you have books I can pick up (even just one), or drop them off at my house.

If you are interested in helping out with this fun project let me know. We need all the help we can get!

Solider Hollow

Max turned 9 and we took him and a few friends to Solider Hollow. It was so much fun. My poor son Wyatt was so excited and we ride up to the top of the mountain that we will be tubing down and he gets off the tube and looks down and instantly starts crying. He is not going to go. He is scared to death. So I am mad because I just spent 20 bucks on each of us and now he isn't going to go which means I can't go. I am yelling at him, telling him he at least has to go once because it is the only way down unless he wants to live up here on the mountain. I know I am such a good mom!! So he gets in his tube and I am holding on to his rope so we can go down together. We start picking up speed, I mean we were cruising, way faster than everyone else. I see the bottom and people at the base watching. I realize we aren't stopping and so do the people as they are running to get out of the way. I see the orange netting that they have so you don't fall of the drop that they have there. There is about 5-6 rows of it and I know we are crashing into it. The tubes hit it and the tube stops but I go flying into the 5th row of netting. OMG!! How embarasing. I of course was laughing and all the workers swarm to see if we are okay. That my friends is why you sign your life away before you can tube. I felt so bad for my Wyatt, he was so scared to go and then I make him crash. FYI, you are supposed to drag your feet when you see the cones.

ROAR!!!!

My sister was up from Texas and we went to the dinosaur museum. It was Jake's first time. He loved saying roar to all the dinosaurs. Of course his favorite place to be was the sand and even the big boys (dad's) loved that place too. Kendall hated getting her hands dirty, she was so cute, she couldn't help but want to put them in the sand and then when she did she would cry to get the sand off. It was so funny. We had a ton of fun and I loved spending time with my sister. Love Ya Angie!!!
