Notice how 'ready' Don is for this wild waterfall? Now notice the person walking up the wittle waterfall!


That was exciting! I just love the animation on Devin's face.

Everyone to Mammy's rescue! Mom fell off her tube SO many times. This time she was stuck between two rocks and the current was holding her down and she couldn't get up. All we could hear was her hysterical laughter ringing through the mountains!!!

Little boy who lost his tube.

COLD?

Kristina is loving this until.....

She gets stuck!

Inside the funky river bus!

Devin showing off his rafting skills!

Mammy on the river!

Kristina soaking up the sun!

When we first put into the river it was too shallow for a long ways. Of course, not paying much attention, Kris, Mom and I all plopped down into our tubes and promptly got stuck! A very nice boy that was fishing came over to help up more than once, but it was no good. We finally ended up walking for a bit before we could start our float. It was so much fun, but because it was so shallow, we kept hitting butt rocks! Periodically we would yell out, or could hear other floaters yell out, "Butt rocks!!!"

LEMONS!

This is my favorite! Sorry mom, I just had to post it.

Lunch with Mammy.

Silly Minion. She loves riding in the purse!

Going for rides with Kris on the bike in the purse is one of the cat's favorite activities!

This is a good one because it shows a lot of our street we live on.

first day of schOOl

I can't believe that school started on August 14th!!! As Devin puts it, "That's such a rip off!"
Devin is in 4th this year and is having a bit of a hard time. His teacher is wonderful, but it's a bit hard to make friends sometimes. Plus the change in altitude here is playing havoc on him in PE. He has come home with a migraine every day since school started. Just need some getting used to.
Kristina is in 8th and is loving her classes. I am so thankful after the end of last year in the other school. All of her teachers are great and she is starting to make friends. Here they have 4 elective classes!!! She is taking PE, Mid evil European History, creative writing and painting. Hope this will be an exciting year for both of them.

MINION

Meet Minion. She is the newest member of our family and she is definately Mommy's little Minion! Mawa ha ha ha!!!

She sleeps where ever she wants to. Usually in the trash can or in the cabinets if you don't watch her close enough.

She eats what ever she wants to. Not really! The only human food we let her have is Vanilla Moose ice cream. Of course, she loves it!

She gets to ride in style! She loves going bye bye. I will shake my car keys and ask her if she wants to go bye bye, she will tear down the hall and roll over at my feet onto her back and just lie there so that I can put her leash on. She isn't completely leash trained yet, but she's getting there. It's the funniest darn thing you have ever seen! She love going with me to pick up the kids from school. She just flops onto the grass and awaits all of her adoring fans to give her lovins!

And of course, she must get her dose of cleanliness, just like everyone else!

Mammy's Visit!!!

These are a few pictures from when my mom was here a couple of weeks ago. We enjoyed her visit SO much and were WAY sad when she had to go home.
The first picture is on the bus getting ready to go rafting in Pagosa Springs, Co.

Special dinner out at Chillies. It was amazing! We all ate until we could barley walk!!

We all love the Mammy!
