Staycation

Time for family vacation.

This year a trip around CO. They kept advertising a Staycation so that is what we decided to do. Now on our second night in Ouray our children are finally asleep. It is beautiful down here and a very fun little town to be in. Came here years ago for our 1st anniversary and many times after to visit. We took the kids swimming in the hot springs for a long time today. Perfect temp and just the right height for the little ones to touch. Loved that! Bunch of fish we have on our hands. Then a late dinner and now some sleep before hiking.

To say it has been easy so far would be a lie. 6 of us in a room with all trying to go to sleep and Brian and I not really liking 8 bedtime has been tough to adjust to but better today. Thought I was loosing my mind yesterday. They had come off some big events so just needed some fun in the sun to wear them out! I do have to say they are pretty cute as they sleep and dream of the mountains and water!

CO Vacation

Brianna turned 6 on Friday. We had a full weekend of birthday celebrations and Brianna loved to shine in her moment the whole time. Brianna is amazing and we love her overflowing personality. If you are feeling short on hugs she is always ready and needs a lot of lovin in a day. When asked what she wanted to do for her party right away she said she wanted it at her Aunt Tam and Uncle Shane's house. It was pretty cute and they lived up to all her expectations. Brianna on her birthday wanted to know if it hurt to have a baby...well what could I say! Kind of funny though she told me it doesn't matter as she is going to adopt all her kids! Ok so all those hugs will be put to good use!

Brianna tuns 6

n There are those of us in our family that play baseball and those of us who want to. Andy can't wait to get out there it seems or at least be in the action. He sits in the dugout and cheers for his Daddy ( the coach!) It is pretty funny to hear. Riley has done well with Brian coaching and Riley seems to like it. As for the girls and I we just watch or some of us (Bri) find a new friend at each game. She is quit the social butterfly. Baseball and swimming lessons are over tomorrow. Sad that this summer is just whipping by but looking forward to vacation very soon ---no real cooking for Mom for a week! Yeah:)

Nope it is not Halloween just a normal day

Our kids love to dress up and that they do daily. We always seem to have 2 princesses around a couple of star wars guys! But at least it is a chance to get all 4 of them together. Pretty funny kids they are !

Looking back at our boy!
