Aubrey's Ist Birthday

Aubrey turned ONE YEAR old!  Our theme of course was...Princess!

Cutie Pie

Her birthday banner

She got a Minnie Doll and shirts from my parents

She got two cute books from Shilo's parents.  Then we gave her a Little People Princess castle.

Her cake that had Hot Pink Frosting with pink sprinkles.  Then it had a little candle that said "Princess"  My dad asked if there was any other color than pink today?  NOPE

 Aubrey was ready for a nap, so our pictures show that she was cranky!

 Rachael said it best, "It's my Party and I'll cry if I want too!"

Princess party hats (yes Bryan an Gavin are wearing them!)

 Princess Pink Bubble Gum!

The boys are playing with her toys!  Hee-Hee

I can't believe my Baby's grown!

Colorado

We were off on another LONG DRIVE to see Brookie's family while Shilo went to meetings for work.  But we had a LOT of FUN!!!!!

The boys went to a Rockie's Game

Playing at the Library

Playing at a splash park

Fun in the Sun

a tour of the Hammond Candy Factory

A candy treat

 Then off to the Children's Museum in Denver!  The kids just had a blast because everything was hands on and real to life.

Do you want to be a Firefighter?

Or learn about science

You could be a vet!

Or fly paper rockets!

How about experiment with bubbles?

It is fun to be in a Grocery Store!

Or make your own artwork.

and to top it off, playing with water!

 We stayed 3 days with Brookie and had lots of fun.  Thursday night we met Shilo at his hotel in Fort Collins.  Then we all went swimming.

 After all that fun, the boys were tired!

(How do you sleep 7 people in only 2 queen size beds?)

The kids traveled really well for the long drive.   But we've driven more miles this month than we might do in a whole year!  It has been worth it to see Kim and Brookie!

WYOMING FUN!

July 3-8th we went on a big trip to see Kim, Trent, Kristie, and Kiri in Wyoming!

It was a long drive, with a couple of throw up stories, but we were so happy when we made it there!

Kristie and Kiri loved to hold Aubrey

Camping at Cook Lake

Kim's Kitchen!  These guys have the coolest camping gear.

 

Down by the Lake, Trent taught the boys to fish!

Bryan absolutely loved it.  He work up at 6 the next morning to fish with Trent.

Caleb caught some too.

Blake was excited that he caught one of the trouts that we ate for lunch.

SMORES!  Those gigantic marshmallows are extremely messy!!!!!!

Kim's cool boat rides.  I had fun swimming in the lake beside her. Especially when I figured out I was trying to swim, but could have touched the bottom.

On Sat. we hiked Devil's Tower

It was a fun hike, but HOT.

We had an awesome time in Wyoming.  We were so glad we got to go make memories with Kim's Family.  It was fun to spend one on one time with Kristie and Kiri. It will be fun to go back in a few more years.

Summer

Caleb's gymnastics!  This is right up his alley.

Swim Party with Friends

(I Like Aubrey's Swim suit!)

Pretty dress from Aunt Kara!

First pigtails.  She wouldn't let them last long, but they were sure cute!  Aubrey can stand on her own.  She is so close to walking.

T Ball

Caleb started T-Ball.  He loves it!  Especially because his coach is DADDY!

Batter Up!

Caleb

We are getting good at watching games!!!!

Gavin wants to play too!

We also went camping at the North Bingham Park.  It was our trial run for Wyoming.

Aubrey's first Camp out!

Happy Father's day Shilo.  He got a dutch-oven table.  We invited our parents for cobbler Sunday night.
