How Do They Know?

This is the perfect time....the kids are playing so nicely.  Everyone's occupied.....I'll go to the bathroom now all by myself.......then instantly....someone's crying...little hands are pounding on the bathroom door IF I have remembered to shut and lock it...otherwise they are there watching my every move....ahhh...how do they do know your every move?

Let the Little Children Come

The carpet looks so inviting. I think I'll lay down. Ahhh!  Here they come.  Little ones climbing, rolling all over me, thinking my head is a seat!   It never fails.  I have become an instant mountain, or kid magnet. 

Colorado Trip

We had such a good time in Colorado.  Toby's family places quality time extremely high on their list and family meals.  It was fun having everyone working together in the kitchen preparing food, cleaning up or just talking.  Aunt Judy & Uncle Bill have such a great house for all of us to gather at.  We even had our own little house above their garage.  It was great for Ayla's naps and for all of our stuff.

 

Some of our highlights included swimming on the ranch and swinging from a crane into the water.  Even Sienna tried it.  Her first try landed awesome and then the second gave us all a scare as she lost her grip too early and went head first right at the water's edge.  God was watching out for her, as the water was deep enough for her.   I thought her head was going to be stuck in the mud!  But she popped right up and was fine.

 

We also visited Bent's Fort on the Fourth of July.  It was the neatest fort that we have ever been too.  With so much set up and activities going on.

 

The best part about the whole trip was just all the family.  We truly wish we could see each other more often!

I Miss My Husband

Toby had to go back to work today after having two and a half weeks off!  We were busy the entire time.  We camped, my parents visited, did yard work and went to Colorado for a week for a family reunion!  Life was great being all together so much.  I missed  not having my husband with me today.   Why is it then that when evening came and he was home, that we were grumpy at each other!  Maybe it was realizing we are back in the rat race again.  Now let's hope we can get more motivated to get out of it, so we have more time together again!  (Plus it didn't help that it was nearly 100 degrees today!)
