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!

Some more picture from our Durango weekend. The deer were really that close to us, no zooming involved. We were on one of the many green belts when we happened upon them. They didn't even run away!

With all of the lush green grass, trees, and vast amounts of water, you can see why we fell in love with this place! I have never seen so many parks in one town.

Old Towne Mall in Durango

This place was absolutely beautiful!

The Old Train Depot

We had a blast looking at all of the really old stuff at the ancient train station in Durango!

Fun at Fizziwig's

We had a blast at Fizziwig's Candy Shop during our Durango, Colorado get away weekend. The prices were rather steep, but well worth every penny! Who knew that M & Ms came in so many different colors?

First time ever on a Ferris wheel!

I don't see how they got away with out sever whiplash!

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

Now and then

Aunt Synica and Eli

Devin made the red guy and donated it to the library at his school. He worked so hard on it, I am soooo proud of him for thinking of others.

This is what happens when you turn thirteen!!!

It's blurry, but I just had to post it, because it's the only picture I have with the kids and I together for Mother's day. They got dressed up and had me do the same and then took me out to dinner at a really neat Mexican food restaurant. We then went for the BEST ice cream ever at Vanilla Moose.

Father's day and he wants to do the cooking!!! Guess it's a guy and grill thing?

It's been too long since I have posted anything!!! Sorry! Life has just been a bit on the crazy side. I really don't even feel like going into it all just yet. So I will just give you a glimpse of some of the nicer things in our life right now. This first picture is at the Marina in the middle of the desert.

Isn't she getting so beautiful!!! Truth be told, I think she is taller than I am now, but don't tell her I am admitting to it, or I will never hear the end of it!

The kids with cousin Eli in the tree house in the ravine behind grandma and grandpa's house.

I just love this picture!

Caught the kids cuddlebuggin!

Boys will be boys!

Cousin Eli came over to play the other day. We all had tons of fun! He loves having Kristina cater to his every need, and she does! He thinks Devin is the coolest thing and tries to copy every thing he does! He also loves the cats. He will call them, meow for them, and just follow them around. They are pretty good about it, they will sit still for a pet or two and then move about five feet and wait for it to start again! It is hilarious to watch.
