Alpine Slide

Last Friday, Mitch was off for the weekend and so we decided to take a little day trip up to the mountains and go to Durango Mountain to play with the kids. The drive up through La Plata was gorgeous and through Durango and up to the Mountains was just breathtaking! I love the mountains in the summer time. There is just something relaxing and soothing to my soul to be up there. Before we got to Purgatory,  We stopped at the natural hot spring fountain outside of Durango.

Durango Mountain is a ski resort in the winter and in the summer it is a resort with condos to rent and little things to do like the alpine slide. You ride the ski lift up the mountain and then ride the slide down.  The kids rode the slide so many times, Mitch even took Carly down and she loved it!

With the packages we got, you could also do the climbing wall, the bungee trampoline and the zipline.

 Aubrie was so fun to watch on the bungee, she was doing flips and even had a double flip!

 Caleb was just making us laugh so hard when he was doing the bungee. It was hurting him and so every time he came down, he had this look of pain but was still trying to like it on his face. Hilarious! Poor kid.

Brynley just liked it!

                                                             We have brave kiddos!

 
On our way home we stopped and ate at our favorite place in Durango, Steamworks.
The kids though it was funny to do the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil and of course smell no evil:) Oh and thats Nick, Caleb's friend. He is kind of a permanent fixture in our family right now.

My sweet girls. Dont mind the dirt all over Carly's face. She had too much fun that day:)

Pitching Stud

Last night I snapped a few pics of Caleb pitching at his game. He is a studman at the mound. I am so impressed with his skill as a pitcher. He is accurate and his speed has gotten so much faster. He has some pretty tricky moves for pick offs too. Good job my boy!

                                 
                                   Caleb recruited some of his buddies to go green with him:) All three of these boys share something special and in common besides their green hair...the Aaronic priesthood. Good boys!

Dance Recital- Tangled

This year's dance recital was based off the movie Tangled and the girls did awesome! Brynley was so supr tiny, cute up there on the "big stage" and Aubrie did such an amazing job! She had four dances she had to perform, tap, jazz, ballet and her lead role Ballet part. She was graceful, and so poised and her smile just makes my heart melt. Aww, I love my girls so much and I am so blessed so have them. Aunt Judy and Aunt Becky are so great to them and us for always giving them the opportunity to take dance and they give so much of their time and energy to make these recital's great for all their students. I know some of you have seen these pictures on facebook but my sweet hubby doesnt do facebook, so I post alot of the same things on here for him. Love you hunee. Thank you for helping me make these beautiful girls!

The pics I got of Mitch giving Aubs her flowers turned out very blurry and so I couldnt post them:( But Mitch loves his girls. He cracks me up because he told them that "He will be choosing their husbands."  Haha!

Blue Eyed Beauty

I found this little beauty making pretty, smiley faces in my mirror and thought it was so cute that she was so into her prettiness. I hope she always knows that she is beautiful!

                                                                Remember this one...

Funny Fotos

Caleb and his buddy's got a hold of some eye black and thought it was funny to draw silly faces on eachother instead of using it for their eye's. I am glad they can all be goofy little boys instead of it being so serious all the time when it comes to baseball.

I had to go and run some errands the other day so I left Mitch here with the girls and came back to find this....

a diaper over her swimsuit. Nice one hunee:)
