Colorado

And we're off!

Rylee meeting the baby horse. Just her size.
Scott taking all of the kids for a ride.


"Horsey!!"
The newest cowgirl

We took the girls to the zoo and it was their first time visiting.
Haylee ready to go!
Rylee and her silly cheese face...
... in every picture
Haylee was not impressed by the bear behind her.

This was taken at the end of the day when we were all hot, tired, and grumpy. People kept saying how cute the girls were because they both were sucking their thumbs, leaning to the same side, trying to sleep.
Haylee sporting her new shirt
The next day, we all hiked down to the lake to swim.
Awesome-ness
Haylee and I, just chillin'.
Tade, cold and spraying the bugs away.
Rylee and her Uncle Tony
I was the photographer while everyone tried to lift eachother on eachother's shoulders. They were so proud. The best shot
My poor husband on the bottom. lol We about lost him.
Staying dry on the shore...well except for the giant wet dog.

Rylee kept telling me she wanted cheese. I thought she meant take a picture so she could say cheese but I think she really just wanted some cheese...
Tug-o-war. I am sure Tade won.
Best buds.

Avrie loved holding Haylee!
Tade got his turn too.

We went bowling and Rylee got a turn.
A storm rolled in and lighting hit just off the Nave's property starting this fire!

Dinner at Maggiano's. Yummy!

Rylee with her Daddy
Poor Haylee was jealous of the food. Who wouldn't be?
Bruce won a trip to the race track for 8 people to drive race cars! We had our own private suite for the day and the boys all got to race each other. It was awesome.
The boys in their cars. GO DADDY!!!!
Scott vs Nathan

Waiting in the "Loser's Lounge" to see who would take all of the glory.

And the winner was....

Bruce!
In order from left to right

That evening we relaxed on the porch. It was perfect.
Just some cool pictures of the hummingbirds

Haylee with her Papa

I love how Haylee's mohawk glistens in the sunlight.
Hiking down to the lake one last time before we left.

Cruiser in his element
His pride and joy....the giant stick.
Grrrr. He looks fierce.
My beautiful girl

Saying goodbye to the horseys


Piling up on Scott, they all had to get in on it.
I love Scott's face, you can tell he's had enough.Goodbye Colorado!!

Haylee is 5 Months Old

Haylee turned 5 months old on July 15th. She rolls over like a pro, holds her head up great, and is getting really close to being able to sit up on her own! She is an incredibly happy, content, and easygoing baby. She laughs all of the time (her newest laugh sounds more like a cough), she can blow raspberries, and last night she started mimicking some of the things we do. I "unofficially" weighed her (stepped on the scale with her and then without, subtracted the two) and she weighs 16lbs and she is about 26 1/2 inches long! I can't believe how fast she is growing. It makes me sad!

* Happy 4th of July *

Since Rylee and Haylee were both born in the same month, the hand-me-downs from Rylee fit Haylee perfectly in the right season. I saved the outfit Rylee wore for her first 4th of July so I put Haylee in it for her's. Who's who?

We celebrated Scott's 25th birthday this weekend!! He told me he wanted a red velvet cake with homemade icing. So of course I made him one! Here is Rylee "helping"

My masterpiece!! As I was making it Rylee just kept pointing and saying "Mama, mess!" I could not stop cracking up at how pathetic it turned out. But it tasted good!

My family threw Scott a surprise birthday party on the 4th of July.

Here is the Birthday cake my Mom made for Scott!!! It's a sand castle cake!! Thanks for showing me up, Mom! =) It was awesome!

Singing Happy Birthday to the birthday boy.

We had a water gun fight! We decided that when Scott came in the door we would all be armed with squirt guns. We soaked him and then it was pay back time. Everyone was soaked.

Rylee loved it. She has awesome aim!

Rylee and her Mammie.

Haylee and her Great Grandpa!

Watching the fireworks! Dad's nostrils make perfect grips.

The Grand Finale

My Dad visited us this weekend! He brought along my neice, Ivy, who I haven't seen in 5 years!!!! It was great getting to see her after all of this time! The last time I saw her she was only 4 so she didn't remember me....Its so weird! Crazy how time flies!

Randomness

Whatchu lookin' at punk? You want a piece of me?

I told Rylee if she's tired, go lay down on the couch. This is as far as she made it before she fell asleep...
I was walking by Haylee's room and noticed this cute little face popped up...my heart melted.

Thats all! Just thought I'd share some of the cuteness!
