Show and Tell

So, most fridges look something like this. A toy for the kids to play with, this week's menu, the Costco coupon I can't forget to use, and Trey's latest adorable drawing of our family.

But not our fridge. Yes, we have the coupons, the toys, and the menu for the week but we also get x-ray photo copies of Jeff's latest and greatest surgeries. Jeff came home one day and saw all of Trey and Kaden's artwork on display and he thought it was only fair that his work be displayed as well.

Yes, those are actual screws he drove into a man's ankle. Although gross to some, I love that Jeff enjoys what he does. Trey has become a huge fan of Jeff's work and loves to hear all the bone sawing details.

Moab Weekend

Last weekend we met my sister Laura and her good friend Deah down in Moab. We had such a great time in Arches. The boys loved all the cool rocks and pixie dust, AKA: Sand!

Laura and Trey under Sand Dune Arch. This was the boy's favorite because there were a lot of rocks to climb on, and plenty of sand to play in.

We had planned for a little warmer weather so I ended up going kangaroo mode and carried Avrey to keep her warm!

Kaden said he wanted to climb up this tree to be a little birdie. Once Laura helped him up he went from cute little birdie to a velociraptor.

Checking out Balanced Rock!

Not only did we enjoy good hiking we also enjoyed time at the pool and some really good food & ice cream!

I was a little worried when we decided to hike to Delicate arch. 3 miles round trip, up hill for most of the way and I knew the boys would have to walk pretty much the whole thing. I guess I underestimated my boys because they did awesome! There was a little complaining at the end but for the most part they had such a great adventure. Avrey enjoyed a nap on the way up!

Although it was cold and windy when we got to the top it was still an amazing view.

Everyone had such a great time and I hope we get to go do it again soon! Thanks Laura and Deah!!

Weekend in Winter Park

This past weekend Jeff took us all up to Winter Park for a few days. Someone he works with has a condo up there that they let us use and boy was it wonderful. This was our beautiful view!

Saturday morning we started the day off right with some doughnuts and chocolate milk!

Later that morning Jeff took the boys to the park to sled and play on the playground.

To warm up after playing in the snow we spent the afternoon at the pool and hot tub. Jeff talked Trey into giving him a back rub. Yeah that didn't last long!!

That night we enjoyed a horse carriage ride downtown and then headed back to the condo to play games by the fire. It was a wonderful relaxing weekend and hopefully we will get to go up there again soon!
