Great Grandpa Roberts

We headed down to Monroe Ut to visit and work. The kids love visiting Great Grandpa Roberts and help feed the cows.

91 and still going strong.

This is a new highlight of the trip.

Secret Lake

So for my 29Th birthday, we hiked up to Secret Lake in between the conference sessions. It is absolutely gorgeous. I love Utah, it is so pretty. and only 15 to 20 minute drive from our home. The reason they call it Secret Lake is because it is on top of a mountain and hidden. I love it.

Away We Go

This picture means so much more to me. Mainly because Tyler literally made the move easier for me. I had to load the majority of the truck by myself and he made all the difference in the world.
Hang on this is a very intense part! Raquel rode the whole way with me so she could watch all her princess movies. She did not even notice the two time that we almost got in an accident.

Good Byes

The only sad thing about leaving Colorado was leaving the Larson's. It was so nice having them a few homes down from us.

Surprise Surprise

You would never guess who lives here. Mr. Fox and his lady. We discovered them a few week back and came again to see if we could get pictures.

However they are to quick for the camera. so this is what I mustard up after zooming and taking a picture were I thought he would be and low and behold we got his tail. Surprised. Can you see him?

Look No Training Wheels

We Took the trainging wheels off and gave a little push and off they went. Now all they want to do is ride. Ride to school, Ride to the park, Ride to the library. Its a good thing I got my roller blades.

Dinosaur Ridge

Whats neat about this place it that you hike a ridge full off all of these fossilize foot prints and other neat imprints.

However we got side tracked with a trail that lead us to the top of this mountain. the views were worth it. The only consequence is that we did not finish the ridge do to tired little legs. The upside is that there is another free day in September so we can work our way to the bones in the mountains another day.

My favorite thing about Denver is all the beautiful pine trees. I know there here somewhere.

First Day of School

Tyler was so excited to ride the bus and that was the high light of being in kindergarten. But once we visited the school and signed him up he was not for it anymore. I was very glad with his decision. Since the School is only a mile and a half we decided to walk it.

Tyler was pretty scared but once it was over he told me it was not as bad as he thought it would be. I was nervous for him, lets just say I am very grateful for the uniforms.
All in all it was a success.

Mothers Day

Mothers Day this year was the best. Jared made me Heart pancakes. If you know Jared this is defiantly true love, he does not cook. So with that said I felt very special. The kids helped and made me a lot of homemade cards. The best day ever.

GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL

This is my fierce soccer team AKA the Pretty Princesses. Raquel scored 4 points again. But who's keeping track? And this is my stud of a boy. He just loves soccer. (#8)
He Scored one point. I don't keep track of over all points and which team won. They don't keep score at this age. But I would like to meet a parent who doesn't keep track of their children's points. LOL Yes I'm a proud parent, but who isn't?

This is my favorite part of being a parent I love coaching and watching the games. Sports by far are the best.

Tea Party

Raquel and I went to our first Tea Party at the library. I love the library, they have so many fun free things to do. We are going to a Harry Potter exhibit next week along with a reading by the author in which we get to decorate cupcakes. Oh did I mention this is all free. Go to your local library and learn more. LOL

Now that I am done advertising lets get on with the Tea Part. That is the Fancy Nancy Tea Party. Raquel loves it when I curl her hair so since she knew she was dressing up she wanted her hair curled. Once we showed Jared and Tyler they decided to give her her birthday presents early. That is Jared gave her the Snow White dress and Tyler gave her the "glass slippers", ash she puts it.

It was even more fun that we had friends there to join her. Megan and Addi.

Here they let her walk the aisle as they introduced her.

She was asking when the next one was before it was even over.

Easter Eggs

This is the cutes egg coloring kit. The kids had so much fun. Raquel put princess stickers all over her dinosaurs and told me hers were beautiful. LOL I just love my kids. We went to 2 different stores today, Schnucks and Walmart. There was an Easter Bunny at each store so when we got to Walmart Raquel asked her Dad how the Easter bunny beat us when here dad was such a fast driver. So Tyler tells her that the Easter bunny is not real that it is just a walmart worker in a costume. Then Tyler preceded to say that its not really working when your playing in a costume. No worries they still believe the Easter bunny is real just not that big. lol

Tyler's first bike crash. It just rained really hard so it was muddy out. He went down a hill and crashed in the mud. I am glad He had his helmet on, if not his face would of gotten muddy a scraped. we were a mile away from home so Raquel would ride her bike a ways then run back and get Tyler's bike and ride it a ways. It worked great until she had to go to the bathroom. Thankfully the only thing that got hurt was his knee.

Our First Garden

We'll see how long it last. We got 2 types of flowers and strawberries. I really want the strawberries work out.

Mishap

Unfortunately Raquel cut her hair. As long as it stays down we can hide it pretty good. I refuse to give her bangs. I never really liked mine.

Let is Snow

Tyler and Kaitlynn build this all by their selves. It is usually summer by now. Raquel was not having it.

Lots of First this Year

Tyler loved it and had so much fun

Raquel on the other hand did not enjoy it at all. She fell once and was done. Maybe next time.

More Snow

Whats great about this is that I was complaining before we left to Utah that it did not snow enough here in Missouri. Well This is what we came home to. This was the first of many snow storms and an ice storm. Love it.

Monster Truck Rally

Yes this was a blast. It was every ones first except Jared's. I was so loud.

Tyler smile stayed this big through the whole show

Raquel was like this through the whole show that was until I took over.

And the winner is.........................

Raquel fell asleep half way through the show. What made it possible for her to sleep was the ear plugs that I was holding in her ears. Personally I was impressed that she could sleep when it was extremely loud.
