Afternoon Fun

The last couple of weeks, we've taken the kids to ride horses at Billy's mom and dad's several times. Every time we go, they gain a little bit more confidence in themselves and the horses. It's really neat to see them enjoying something that is not electronic! And, I have to say... I love it too!

Grace and Traveler (yes, HE is a boy wearing a pink bridal!)

Amos thinks the horses are okay, but he really likes.....

the dirt!!!!

I think he would roll in it all day... if I would let him!

I hate it when he does that!

Ahhhh!!!

After an afternoon of riding, it's always fun to go swimming at Mimi and Grandpa's!

A Little Bit Behind

Gosh, I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while now. I guess it's better now than never, right?!

A few weeks ago, our family and Billy's parents and grandparents drove to Kansas to see Billy's Uncle Bob and Aunt Sheila. While we were there we went to a Royals game. I was so scared it would be miserably hot, but our seats were in the shade and the temperature was perfect. We ate LOTS of cotton candy and hot dogs! It was a short trip but we made good memories!

Colorado Trip

We're back! We all had a great time, and can't wait to go back! The plane ride was perfect and the weather was great!


The first two pictures are out of order because I wanted to show my favorites first...

The kids thought the snow on Pikes Peak was beautiful.

This was inside the Atlanta airport. Yes, I said Atlanta. We flew from Colorado Springs to Atlanta to XNA. Crazy, huh?

We had a long three hour lay over.
