Rainbow falls

We went to Manitou Springs for a quick hike up to Rainbow falls....it was beautiful except all the graffiti everywhere. The kids loved splashing around in the water. Afterwards we went in to town and played in the outdoor arcade. I love being so close to so many fun things!

Monument Lake

A few weeks ago we went with some of the fam to Monument lake for some fishing and splashing in the water. We had a great time and even caught a few (very small) fish.






Here a pic I just had to post of Beckett....he is such a stud!

Birthday Party for the Girls

We had a big combined friend birthday party for the girls again this year. It was a Wipeout party based off the TV show that we all love to watch. We had a Wipeout obstacle course complete with slip and slide, water guns and baby pools! We also played games with water balloons and had a few relay races with water.
Beckett missed most of the party because it was during his nap time but he made up for time lost when he woke up :)

Coach Pitch and T-Ball

Here a few pics form the girls 1st game of the season. Hopefully we will get more at their last game this coming week. Taylor is doing really well and almost hits it from the coach every time. Callie is also doing a great job when she chooses to participate (I little bit of bribery has been employed to make that happen!)

Birthdays and Bunnies

Taylor has been bugging us for months, asking us if she can have a bunny. Of course I was dead set against it at first (We already have 2 dogs, 3 fish and 2 pillow pets :) but we slowly changed our minds. So we surprised Taylor on her birthday with two bunnies and a bunny cage that Brandon made. This is Fancy, when we let her out of the cage she likes to run run right back in!
This is Freckles, when we let her out she likes to hide under the play house so we can't get her!





Can you tell Beckett is a little disappointed he doesn't get any presents :)
On Callie's Birthday she got her very own camera, which she loves!
Chasing bunnies is our new family pastime!
