Random September 2014

The boys have karate right next door to a Super Target. Makes it so convenient to stop in for groceries and other things. I have to mention how much Ava loves Target. Anytime we go to Karate she always begs to go to Target. After karate one time she asked if we could go to Target, I said we needed to get home to make dinner. She asked again if we could please go and started running as fast as she could to Target. I mean I like Target, but I am not sure what her obsession is with it.

The kids also like to lay in this circle and pretend to be sleeping.

During September we worked a lot at our rental to try and get it ready for tenants.

Hannah helping by exploring every inch and putting everything in her mouth.

Ava did a great job painting this piece of scrap wood with water. It kept her entertained for quite awhile and she was so proud of how helpful she was. Thanks for the help sweet Ava.

Jordan thinks everything should be fun. Even folding laundry...

Yes, that says Jordan with a sunshine above it and a sunny girl underneath.

Hannah has discovered the dishwasher and loves to pull everything out of it. It is a race between us to see if I can get it loaded before she notices I am doing dishes and crawls over and pulls everything out...Hannah normally wins.

Ava has discovered she is strong enough to carry Hannah. Can you tell how excited Hannah is about this new development?

Did some cleaning. This is Caden's artwork from last year.

Yep, Hannah at the dishwasher again. Here she is holding a noodle light saber. Not sure why but she loves that noodle. She gets so excited when she sees it and carries it as she crawls around everywhere.

Ava playing with Hannah....











Almost forgot about this gem from Target. In the toy aisle they have this huge interactive Barbie TV. Ava of course loves it because it is princess and fairy.


Chase was the student of the day.

The highway Ken has to travel on to get to work often has semis and wide loads driving down it. Here is a picture of one of those wide loads coming down the road. Th truck is coming towards him, it is so wide that he is driving on the shoulder of the road trying not to be hit as it barrels past him.

Hannah discovered a pacifier in her toy basket and decided to give pacifiers another try.

YMCA of the Rockies, Day 2


The first full day at the YMCA we played on the playground, played miniature golf and went roller skating. Roller skating was a big hit. The kids really wanted to go again but we just didn't have enough time.

Fun Run(s)

I signed the kids up for a summer of kids' fun runs. I'll be honest they were not happy about it when I took them to the first run. Luckily, they had a lot of fun activities after the runs and the kids warmed up quickly to the fun run after the first one. Here is pictures from the run that Ken was able to join us on.
