Race For The Cure - 2009

My Aunt Shari had a great idea for us to do the Race for the Cure in Colorado Springs this year - and I am so glad she did!! It was great fun!

Shari, Brittany, and Baby Peyton all came down to the house the night before. We had a big dinner and they stayed the night. Ashley and I got up with them super early to head out. It was a pretty foggy day which worked out really good for us. The race was at Garden of the Gods which is so amazing anyway - but when you are there for a good cause it really is more amazing!

Ashley was such a trooper - it was early for her but she did great. I pushed her in the stroller and she sat back and enjoyed the ride!

Brittany was fun - she is a good morning person!

Can't wait to do this again next year!

Ashley's 1st Field Trip

Ashley had a field trip with her preschool class - to the Zoo!! It was great fun - Larry took the day off too so the whole family was able to go. I love going to the zoo. It was a perfect day for the weather and Ashley hung out with a buddy from school the whole time - too cute!

This is Hailey trying to smile right before the ride started - then she wanted off!

Big Blue!!

I would like to introduce to you the newest member of our family:

Can I say I LOVE MY TAHOE!!!!

Officially a Toddler!

It is official!!

We switched Hailey from a crib into her Toddler Bed - so of course her age has nothing to do with it - it's all about the bed!

*She has also figured out that she can climb into our bed for the night.....

1st Camping Trip

For the past 4 years Larry has been wanting to go camping and I always have some great excuse - "the kids are too small" "what about middle of the night bottles" "pretending I didn't hear him". Finally our friends Mike and Melissa said let's go! They have 2 little girls as well so I finally decided to suck it up and make it happen.

The girls had so much fun playing together! We had a nice spot with a little stream so of course there was a lot of dirt to be had! The best part of course was the smores - and oh yes they loved the smores!

It was really pretty..

Hailey REALLY enjoyed the smores!

*Catching Up*

I have been a terrible blogger this summer/fall - so I am now officially re-committing myself to become a better blogger!! Obviously I have a lot to catch up on so the next couple posts are me pretending I was on time with what was going on with the kids!

Ashley's 1st day of Preschool

Ashley was such a pro at this preschool stuff this year! She was very excited to start going again. We took Hailey with us this year for Ashley 1st day - she was very sad when we left. This is Ashley's last year of preschool!

Getting ready to go to "Meet your Teacher" day (even though she already knew her teacher)

Leaving the house

So cute!

Saying goodbye!
