Boys will be Boys!

Devin and his friend Ethan work for 3 day perfecting their jumps!

Oh Happy Day!

This is the moment that Kristina found out that Tonya is coming to visit us this summer!

Another Day trip to Durango

Now that the weather is starting to improve we are anxious to get out of the house and go find greenery. We had tons of fun just enjoying everything.

I have a picture of Devin in the exact same spot in almost the exact same position as Kristina is last year.

We took little Miss Minion on a walk the other day on the green belt, through the park and along the river. It was about two miles but she did really good until the ice cream truck came into the park. She is terrified of it!!

She liked the ditch much better than the river. I think it's becuase it wasn't as loud. Note the girl child texting, as usual!

My beautiful girl taking a break.

Tomas felt left out of the picture taking!

Art

Kristina and Eli by Kristina's painting that made it into the district competition. She was a bit put out that they hung it side ways though. Hmmm....what is it they say about artists???

Me under my painting at the college's exhibition.

Bits and Pieces

I have been so darned swamped with school work that I haven't had alot of time for even taking pictures lately!! Shocker, I know! Here are just a few pictures that I have been neglecting.

Painting Kristina did. I think she did an amazing job!

On a day trip to Durango. It sure was a cold day!

Kristina waving to all of her adoring fans!!!

At the mall in Durango. We loved the tree.

On a snow shoe trip Devin's class took. Don went along and they had a blast.

Devin in his new Heeleys he got for his 10th birthday. I had a hard time with my 'baby' turning 10. No more single digit kids.

Yummy hot fudge cakes that we had on his birthday.

Boston Cream cakes we had for his party.

Kristina and cousin Eli.

Balloon Boy!

Another Minion and Mommy moment...

I don't think that there isn't anything that she won't try to get into!

Rat Boy!

Devin in his rat ears getting ready for his school's production of the musical Rats.

Minion did NOT like Devin's ears. She totally freaked out, but in the end my rat caught his cat!

Some times it's better if I just don't ask!!!

Kristina's new hair cut.

I finally gave in and let Kris get her hair cut. I think she had about 2 inches cut off and I almost cried! Plus she now has layers, which she loves. It's totally cute!

Mommy's little helper!

Minion baby decided that she needed to help me do the chores this evening! She has never gotten in the fridge before but was so quick that I couldn't catch her in time. Needless to say, my fridge got a good cleaning after that!

She has never climbed up onto the dishwasher before either.

She hopped in there before I could blink while I was putting away groceries.

The other day while Don was down in the crawl space she decided that she wanted to go spelunking too! We had a horrible time getting her out. I stood above and looked down into the hole to see a white blur go streaking by so fast over and over again. She was having a great time! Once she even came to a sudden halt in the middle of the opening and looked up at me. When I told her in my most serious voice to get back up here, ZOOM, she was off again!
She is such a total goof ball, but that's why she fits into our family so well!

A few of my favorite photos from our trip to Albuquerque.
