Career day!

Alycia's Kindergarten class had career day, and Ed went to participate in it, what a neat day for the kids. They got to hear about so many different careers from firemen, army, pilot, fed ex man (ED lol), dentist, police man, eye doctor, nurse, computer technician, an artist. The kids had such a good time, and Ed enjoyed being there with them. He was so excited to show them his fed ex truck and the kids enjoyed going inside and playing with everything.

halloween

Halloween this is year was so much fun. Bonnie helped out in Alycia's kindergarten Halloween party at school. We went to our church Halloween party, went to a friends Halloween party and took the kids trick or treating, what a busy few days of Halloween. Josh was Yoda, he refused to let me paint his face green, but he still looked good. Aaron was a robot, with a big square head, lol. Tyler was Iron man. Alycia was a pretty unicorn. And Zach made an adorable Soccer ball. We had a great time and the kids got A LOT of candy.

Pumpkin patch

WARNING: There are A LOT of pictures, heehee. Today Zach and I went with Alycia's kindergarten class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. We had a lot of fun. Alycia was so excited to ride on a school bus for the first time. They got to see animals, ride down a slide on potato sacks, go through a hay bail maze, climb hay bail stacks, go on a hayride, pick pumpkins, eat lunch, play in a corn box ( Zach loved playing with the corn, he was often found running back to it), and much more. The kids had a great time, and the weather was perfect, a perfect day to spend with my kids, I am so blessed.

Hiking Mt. Elbert

Josh and Ed got to camp and then hike up Mt. Elbert with the Boy scouts in our ward. Josh was so excited as he had just turned 12 and was old enough to go. Mt. Elbert is the tallest Mt in the rocky mountains, (what they say anyway) The elevation is 14,433 . There were 11 boys and fathers that went. Ed and Josh are the ONLY ones that made it to the top, the other ones quit along the way. I was so proud of Ed and Josh, surprised Ed made it without his inhaler (he left it at home, prayers were answered). It rained on them, hailed, and snowed, it was really windy at the top and cold, but they didn't give up, such a pretty view. Way to go Ed and Josh.

above the clouds, so cool.

Manitou springs

Mantiou springs is a neat place, they have all these natural springs that they pipe in from the river and you can drink the water, it tastes different, some like it some don't, taste to me like baking soda in the water, LOL but really neat, had to take pictures of most of the ones I saw, I don't remember all of their names, but were neat.

Had to get a picture of Amanda next to the Navajo springs for obvious reasons, LOL.

Aunt amanda gave in and let the kids ride the merry go round.

This bike was so cool, had a long seat al the kids could fit on, was high off the ground was a little worried about Zach face planting it, LOL.

Another springs, forget what the name is.

Cute little chicks.

Whiles Ed's brother and family were here we toured the pioneer museum, there was some really cool things, the elevator was neat as you actually got to ride in it. The dotors and dentists back then those tools and such were scarty adn all the medicines they would give you, yikes I am greatful for modern medicine. Was a really neat place to visit.
