Fun Times

Jimmy and I got to have a little weekend get-away and went to see our close friends Greg and Jill. We flew into Atlanta and then drove to Charleston, South Carolina to tour a little bit of the city, and then we drove to Columbia to see the Tigers play USC. We had a fabulous time and are hoping to make another trip with them next year!





The game was close till the end, but LSU ended up winning 24-17.

Bibs...

I just love these new bibs I got for the twins. They have long sleeves, and the center part is "fuzzy" so food sticks to it. They're called Silly Billyz. I actually have never used bibs for the other four children, but I thought I better buy some since I've super-simplified the kids' wardrobes - five shirts and five pants. Now no matter how messy they get, everything is on the bibs and there's no need to change their clothes. (okay, those who know me well know that I would never change their clothes if they got dirty anyway, but I'm trying to improve on such things... :)

Niiiiice, Luke...

Back to business....

More Visitors

My brother Kirk and his wife Jana came to visit us this past week from Iowa. We had a fantastic time with them. The kids really enjoyed wrestling around with Uncle Kirk and boxing Aunt Jana. (Jana actually probably has a couple of bruises from Eli's punching. Eli was bopping around the room saying, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!") The minute we dropped them off at the Denver airport the kids said, "We miss Uncle Kirk and Aunt Jana!" Hopefully they'll come back and visit us soon!

We went to Breckenridge and relaxed by this creek. Owen was the only one who went in. It was coooooold!

We had a nice, quiet lunch (not really) at a Mexican restaurant. The food was really delicious (mostly since Kirk paid for it).

We took them hiking up a hill behind our home, and they offered to carry Luke and Carson for us! HALLELUJAH! It was the best hike I've had in a long time. I didn't think Luke was going to go for it - he's pretty much a mama's boy - but he decided Uncle Kirk wasn't so bad after all!
