moab part one

Kevin and I decided for our family vacation we would go to Moab! It just so happened there was also a race in Monticello the same weekend we wanted to go. So we loaded up the 4 wheeler (and 2 of Scott's), the dirt bike, our whole house for the kids and our 2 nannies (katie and kenzie).

Kevin and I also invited our families to join us. Denice and 3 of her girls (Sydney, Gretchen and Julia) and Grace accepted our offer! Cole LOVED every second of this, he even rode in their car.

Last minute Larissa, Dee and 2 of their friends (Christian and Shelley) decided to come also. They ended up sleeping on our hotel room floor, so there was nine of us in our room! Cole slept in the "girrrls" room.

On our way down the trailer tire got shredded. Boy was it fun for Kevin to change it in that heat.

Our first night there we went on a night hike, here is the group minus Grace who was taking the picture.

Cole was GLUED to Sydney for the whole time they were there. I hardly saw him. (Thank you Sydney, Gretchen and Julia for playing with him so much)

We woke up the next day and headed out to 4 wheel...

Kevin got to go practice on the track that night so we all went swimming!

I decided to try and take Hallie in the pool, which was way too cold, on a big floaty. The second I sat down Hallie started to scream and the floaty broke! Everyone was starring at me or running to help. I fell in the water holding Hallie above my head unaware that I could stand. What a spectacle I made...

and out to dinner at Pasta Jay's, mmmm

and the cool ones (Grace, Denice, Syd, Gretch, Julia, Cole, Hallie and I ) went to get some icecream

Later the older kids (yup I am still considering myself one of the kids) decided to go bowling but the alley closed at 10. So Kevin dragged Moab main street instead.

We stopped on the side of the road and Dee climbed up a huge hill

The next day was RACE DAY!

Denice was everywhere getting some awesome pictures of Kevin, here she is showing them to Cole

I was glad Konan and his family were there to be Kevin's pit crew, I am not so good at it

Showing off his finishers pin

and battle wounds

Kevin was so excited to have "fans" at the race! It was so fun with everyone there, we were sad to see them go home after the race. Thank you to everyone who came!

whats up

This entry has been a long one coming. There are pics from 3 months ago until now mixed in. Enjoy!

Each year my parents measure the kids. Cole is growing like a weed.

We were helping do some yard work at my uncle John's, Cole helped carry the weeds to the trailers. He slipped and fell through the slats walking up the trailer and seriously damaged his nose. He is such a good sport.

Kevin and Cole had a boys day out! They went to the Cherry Creek National Race. I know Kevin wishes he had been able to race it but they had fun watching the Pro's and having a day away.

He loves playing with Matt and Jacks, no matter what they are doing (notice he is in Katie's shorts again, potty accident)

Trying to be like dad, I have no clue if he even knew what he was really trying to do but he got all this stuff out himself.

Cole LOVES holding Hallie

Trying to be like me in my shower cap

Our sleeping beauty

Cole fell off the bar stool and scrapped up his back pretty bad

Cole is potty trained! Well almost, we had a great first week and a half but have been struggling since. Overall though I am so proud of him and happy to not be changing so many diapers. Cole has got a great imagination. With Kevin as his dad I am not surprised! He came into our room the other night saying "look, I'm a hat"

Since the underwear incident Cole has decided to put many things on his head and claims "I'm a hat"

Cole running around my parents in just his underwear (I know, I am a great mom huh)

Cole yelled out to me before he fell asleep that his mcqueen slippers were thirsty. When I went to check on him I found this. If you know Cole it was a great sacrifice to give up his sippy cup (bobb) to someone/something else.

My parents went fishing to Idaho and caught/got some fish.

Cole actually really liked to eat it!

Our little darlin'

Kevin was dying to see Avatar in the theater. He had been bailed on quite a few times from some friends to see it. He called Mark to go with him and I volunteered to watch Morgan. We had a great time! For the first 45 minutes Morgan and Hallie would cry back and forth at each other. One would start and it would make the other one start. It was quite funny actually. ( I think this was in April)

Cole loved having her over too!

Morgan really liked Hallie's hair!

Cole all of a sudden wants to be a baby too sometimes (imagine that), so he copies whatever Hallie is doing or has me carry him like a baby or rub lotion on his tummy. In this picture he wanted to be wrapped up like her and tried to make the same face she was making. It is such a sad picture, but really he was laughing in between...

Cole found these glasses in his toy room one night and wore them to bed!
