Better late then never

Here are a few pics of Kaya's kindergarten graduation. Still hard to believe she is going to be a first grader. Everybody is right, they do grow up fast!

And Kasen's last day (of his first year) of preschool. What a little guy he is!





















And the first of many camping trips this summer

Kinley is TWO

I can hardly believe it has been two years since we were blessed with sweet Kinners! Time has FLOWN BY!!! This girl is amazing, she is a goof ball already, super super super active (even puts her sister to shame), busy and tests our every bit of patience we can muster up. Her big brown eyes melt our hearts whenever we look at them. We sure love her a ton, and feel blessed everyday for her! We are excited that our baby is two, we feel like we get to start a new phase of life with kids, not babies. We are excited for all the adventures that come with teaching these three all the fun things we love. I am gonna need some new nieces and/or nephews SOON though, until then I would love to borrow anybodies baby for a few hours, and then give them back and sleep all night long :)...

Here are a few pictures of her celebration...

Spring Break

We had such a fun, spur of the moment spring break! I loved it! It was really nice to spend time with just us five! Our kids did amazing, they really adapt well to us changing things up. Kinley slept like a champ both at naps and night time (which was my biggest worry). Anyways, I will let the pics do the talking, they are way more fun to see then me babbling on anyway!

Adventure #1-Princess on Ice
Kaya was in heaven, best friends, fancy dresses, curls, and princesses. What more can a 6 year old girl ask for?








Adventure #2- Skiing at Loveland.

Kaya and Kasen did so well, they have really turned a new leaf, and we enjoyed skiing with them. We were on the slopes from 10:00 to 4:00 with an hour lunch. They never got tired (we did!). Kinley did great hanging out, napped in my arms and played in the snow. We enjoyed being with our friends the Sarnow's for the day!!!







Adventure #3- Mountain Biking
I don't have pictures, but it was really fun!! Kaya and Kasen rode their bikes, I trailered Kinley, and Dev taught the Kaya and Kasen to ride on dirt jumps.

Adventure #4-Scavendure Hunt/hike at Bear Creek Nature Center with friends.
No pics of this either...

Adventure #5-Hotel stay in downtown Denver.
We stayed right by 16th street mall, so it was fun to walk everywhere. The kids loved swimming, the escalator and eating out for every meal!





Adventure #6-The Children's Museum.
They had a great time. Kasen spent most of his time in the building room with Devin so I didn't get pics of him. I spent my time chasing Kinley from one room to another and Kaya was happy to do whatever!







Adventure #7-Walk around the Kayak park downtown Denver.



Adventure #8- The Aquarium
We met our friends The Lloyds, and enjoyed looking at all the "fishy's" as Kinley would say. The highlight was the mermaid show. I think Kaya almost peed her pants watching the mermaids, and then to find out one was named Kaya, well that was just -amazing-
















Adventure #9- Monkey Business for Gabe's Birthday
I love that we live so close so that we can be a part of Gabe's big days!!









Adventure #10
I went on a mountain bike ride by myself, with no bike trailer. I have not done this for a very very very long time. And it was on my new (SRAM geared) bike, that I LOVE!!! I hope it is the first of many!




Not bad for last minute huh!! Most of all I loved having Devin along the whole time!!!
