Homemade Forts

Our living room has turned into forts for the kids.  Blankets hanging everywhere, the furniture moved and  cushions removed.  It is pretty cool because they will play here for hours!! (so it gives me time to do this)

Grandpa Dan helped with this one.

Grandma Kay helping to collect cars to take to the fort.

Monique taking a break and playing a little tunes.

And to take a picture with Grandpa

Alex took this picture and wanted me to put it on the compute so everyone can see it!

Flagstaff for the Day

We went to Flagstaff for the day with my dad. He was submitting permits to add on to their camping house! We are so excited and can't wait for next years camping. The kids thought we were going camping and when we got there Alex said this place looks like camping. Same trees, dirt and rocks.

He found a lizard, he was right just like camping.

We walk to see this big train on the side of the road. 

And a tracker.

And we got to have lunch with Tio Tommy!  Then headed back home.

We almost made it

The weather was nice; only 91 degrees, so we went for a hike.

Alex yells "come on guys"

Then he helps/pulls her along.

Check out the clouds behind us coming in.

Monique has the right idea for the hike.

We made it to the top. Alex doing a little dance and wants to do a bigger mountain.

Mike looking at the clouds coming in and says "I think we can make it"

We saw a faint rainbow.

We didn't make it. It was sprinkling on the way down.

Good thing we made to the car before this hit!

She Did It

She finally made it around the whole block riding her bike!

Cash and Alex sing La Bamba. This is Alex's new look. The socks and boots and he says
"Call me Puss in Boots!"

We went to Taylynn's second birthday party were the kids built a lego tower taller than all of them!

She loves to swing!

Surprise!

The door bell rang and I thought it was my dad, instead it was David. The kids and I were surprised! 

We went to my parents house for dinner.

 They flew a plane to Tucson to the junkyard then drove to Phoenix for the a night stay.

Alex had a blast with them.

When they first came over to our house, they had their flights suits on still. Alex wanted to know why there were still wearing their costumes!
