Our family took a huge hike up to Grandeur Peak. When we set out, and I saw the trail, I thought that there was no way that we would make it to the top, but they were such good hikers!! 
The hike was tough, I have to admit that I even struggled a bit, but after 2 1/2 hours we were at the top. I was so amazed, my kids are tough kids!!
The view from the top was so amazing. I wish that we had packed a lunch so that we could have stayed and enjoyed it longer.
The kids loved crossing the bridge. They thought it was so much fun. We made it down in just over an hour. Me and Carson ran down the last mile. It was so much fun. We were flying past people and I kept hearing them say, "Did you see that little boy?" He was very proud because he was the first one to the top, and the first one to the bottom. Round trip our hike was 7 miles. It was lots of fun, and I am sure that the kids will never forget it!
Friday night we had a fun time BBQ'n and playing in the yard. We bought our first watermelon of the season, and Carson was in heaven. Steve was home and the kids had tons of fun torturing him and beating on him.
Carson was extremely proud of his poster for his report on Green Tree Pythons. It took us a whole 30 minutes to make, and used up all of the ink in the printer but he thinks it is the greatest thing ever. He wanted to make it himself, so I let him. I know it is not the same quality work as Makenna's diorama, but what do you expect, I can only do so much!!!
I just busted up laughing because I am sure that when people are at my front door they totally see the magazine and wonder what in the heck goes on at our house. It has now been replaced with a Playboy, just to ensure that our UPS deliveries keep arriving early. I wondered why that delivery guy was always so nice!
Carson came home from school the other day and said he was one of the only kids in the class that had not passed off tying their shoes. I of course was shocked, because I had no clue that he was supposed to learn to tie his shoes... he doesn't even have shoes that tie, so why would he need to learn how to tie shoes??? Seriously, what is wrong with our Education System? But, I taught him, so he can now tie MY shoes. Way to go Cars!!
All I can say is that she better get a good grade on this thing, because honestly it was my best work!!!
I see these AWESOME bullet holes on peoples cars all of the time. They add so much to a car, and really make them stand out. Whenever I see them it makes me wonder who the cool person is driving the car and what happened to them. Were they in a gang fight? Was it a drug deal gone bad? Or really, why on EARTH would you put these on your car???
"A bad thing happened while you were out riding your bikes," I told my kids. "The cops drove past and saw that all three of you were out on your bikes, scooters, and skateboards without your helmets. They tracked me down and tried to haul me off to jail. I told them that you would all wear your helmets from now on if they let me stay and be your Mom."
Here's our Spiderman! Today while playing with Dad, he hit the ball over the fence. He just ran over to the fence and climbed up it like it was nothing! Steve was like..."um, can you do that again...?" When he did Steve called for me to come out with the camera. Here he is...
Makenna even rode her bike to WalMart herself and got me some really great things and a cute card that she had recorded me a message in.
It was a great morning!
