One Fall Day

How can you not FALL in love with Colorado when it is this beautiful? We had a great drive in the mountains this past weekend and saw all the beautiful fall colors. Or, I guess I should say color since everything was yellow but it was amazing!

We had a great picnic lunch and did a little hiking around Breckenridge ski resort. A little weird to be hiking in the mountains at the end of September in shorts, but we're not complaining.

On the way home we drove over Boreas Pass that used to be an old railroad depot. The boys loved it of course! At 11,500 feet, we were all getting light headed.

It was so beautiful and only made us wish that I had a hot apple pie and homemade vanilla ice cream waiting for us when we got home!

Avrey was sick of being in her car seat with an hour left until we got home so out of a moment of desperation we gave the DVD player a try. Looks like we might have to invest in another player before the next road trip!

We're all so glad when Daddy comes home!

The kids always get so excited when Jeff comes home each day! Jeff will always call when he is on his way and the boys will just sit and wait for him to get here! They can't wait to wrestle and play cowboy, poor Jeff always has to be the horse!

The boys were having so much fun but I think Avrey was a little concerned have all three of them hanging over her! She loves when daddy comes home too!

The Tonsils, The Potty & The Worm

THE TONSILS: Trey had his tonsils and adenoids removed about two weeks ago and I can happily say we all survived it. He was pretty nervous about the whole idea of having surgery which made it hard on us although we knew it would be so much better for him in the long run. He came out of the surgery pretty angry but after some extra pain medication he chilled with Avrey in is hospital bed!

This is pretty much how we spent the week following the surgery. Luckily we had stocked up on plenty of popsicles and videos from the library!!

THE POTTY: Since I knew we were going to be stuck home for a week following the surgery I decided it was time to potty train Kaden. We had tried a few months back and he just didn't go for it so I wasn't sure if he was ready this time or not. We had 6 accidents the first day so I thought with Trey needing so much attention I would wait and try later with Kaden. The next morning he woke up and asked for under ware and has been dry ever since!

Kaden's new favorite song is 'Eye Of The Tiger' from the movie Rocky...this is him being the tiger!

THE WORM: Avrey has become our little inch worm and has figured out how to get from point a to point b rather quickly. She is already getting up on he knees and has figured out the cutest army crawl I have ever seen. I am not ready for my 5 month old to be crawling!!
