Just a forewarning... this is a long post. We spent 8 days in Colorado. It was so nice to get away from the AZ heat. Just look at the beautiful weather that we had. Who could ask for more?
Brooklyn LOVED to go on quad rides. She thought she was hot stuff.
Trenton had to get down in the dirt and play too.
We bought Brooklyn her first kite while we were up there. She had so much fun doing it all by herself.
I absolutely love this picture. She had so much fun with her princess kite.
I make kite-flying look good!
Taking a stroll down into the meadow with the dogs. I can't wait until brother can follow her. I think he feels left out when she's always taking off.
Trenton in his Carhartt's that my dad bought for him. I guess all the country guys wear that brand. He fit right in, and looked pretty darn cute!
Uh oh, Grandma's kitchen isn't baby proofed... There's lots of fun stuff I can get into here! And trust me, I found it all.
My handsome boys!
Kurt and my dad got to go on trail rides two different days with one of the neighbors and his horses.
This one is a little blurry, but I love the beautiful background behind them!
We were enjoying a lot of outside time too! Miss Brooklyn had fun coloring pictures with sidewalk chalk.
This particular day, we had finished breakfast and she told me it was a beautiful day for blowing bubbles... her words exactly.... so that's just what we did!
It's much easier for the wind to blow the pinwheel :)
Trenton kept crawling out to the rocks and grabbing them by the handful... and where do you think they went next? That's right, straight to the mouth. Those are not snacks buddy!
Grandma's big bathtub. Trenton typically loves taking baths, but not so much in this one. Maybe because it was too deep and scared him... who knows.
He had more fun playing with the pinwheel on the floor.
Hmmm, where should I move my highchair next? It sure is fun to push it out of the corner.
Brooklyn has recently gotten into money. She loves to put "minnies" in her pocket. We were at John and Stacy's and they have a slot machine in their basement for fun. Brooklyn kept grabbing all the quarters and shoving them in her pockets. We were all laughing! They had to frisk her before we left and empty her pockets.
Brooklyn and Stacy playing with bunny masks. These two are such good buddies.
A couple weeks ago Trenton started pulling himself up to a standing position while in his crib. Last week he started pulling himself up on anything and everything. This particular day he was on one end of the couch and saw a water bottle a couple feet away so took a few steps while holding onto the couch until he could reach the bottle.... I'm not ready for this yet! He seems to think he's pretty cool.
Playing on the porch.
Bailee must have been resting on the chalk pictures because she had a rainbow on her bum.
I love being outdoors. If you don't believe me, just look at my smile :)
Brooklyn and Grandpa riding on the Ranger. Trenton actually got to ride too, but I didn't have enough hands to take a picture. Next time!
She loves to hold her brother. She better hold on tight though, he doesn't sit still anymore, and is almost as big as her.
Silly boy, you have yogurt snacks stuck to your face. They're supposed to go IN your mouth!
I had gotten back from one of my jogs and was doing push ups. Brooklyn asks "What are you doing Mommy?" and I tell her push ups. She responds "I want to play push ups too". If only these were as fun for me as they are for her. Go ahead child... play push ups all you want, you just need to work on your form a bit :)
I don't know why we spend so much money on toys... a plastic water bottle seems to be pretty fun!
We were packing up to come home and I had left Trenton in the back bedroom. I come around the corner and he's in the living room... I walked past him and when I came back, he was all the way in the kitchen. This boy gets around.
You have to look close in this one. Brooklyn was playing on the couch and had so much static in her hair. It was standing straight up. Too funny!
It's a long drive home. Good thing these two have each other to keep them company. They are shaking hands here... and they played peek a boo and shared snacks, and even took a good nap together. It made for an easy ride home. I am so glad they are good travelers since we take this trip so often.
Standing some more.... "Hey guys, why do you have to have these gates here? I want to go in there." I sure am glad our house is baby proofed from Brooklyn.... Trenton is always trying to find things to get into.
We had such a fun vacation... It's nice to be home in our own rooms though. I think that was the hardest part... all four of us sharing one room. It made it interesting, but we survived. We are looking forward to going back and doing it all over again in about 3 or 4 weeks!
