10.16.10 - wheeler fun times. part uno.

i have so much to post and so little time to edit & post it all...i have had such a fun month.  october was GREAT.  i will be posting all kinds of images this week from this month, that i have yet to share with you!

first, mid-october, we went to see my Nana, Jerry, & Uncle Kyle in Wheeler.  (You saw a few of these a little while ago when i was showing off some of my favorite heart-breakers - see HERE.)  The Rogers went with us and we fished and had a great time...I will have more to share of the Rogers later, but for now, here are some of my favorites that I want to share...

for some reason the image below makes me think of this incredibly sweet, humble man named ROYCE MARION...i <3 him (well, and all his girlies too)!  BIG HUGS to that sweet guy!



stay tuned...i promise there is a LOT more cuteness coming your way.

2 really cute boys.

they look so innocent.

and my heart skips a beat...

Labor Day Weekend, Minus the Labor!

We had a SUPER Labor Day Weekend at Ute Lake with some really fly peeps!  :)  The Rogers & The Millers hosted us at their lake house in Logan, NM for some fun, sun, and FOOD...

OH.MY.GOSH.THE.FOOD.......was delish.  And worth every pound I gained!

The best part of the whole weekend was the absence of actual LABOR.  It was so nice just to hang out with our friends, eat, let the kids run crazy, eat, not fix our hair or make-up, eat some more, sleep...you get the point.  What an awesome time we had and we cannot wait to go back.

Here are a few candid photos from our weekend, minus the lake, because I didn't take my good camera out on the boat.  I don't know, something about a HUGE lake with water in it and 2 crazy 1 year olds didn't mix well with electronics and digital memories...hmmm....

 

Tiff, Tess, & Van aka Pops

Mischievious...yes!

There he goes on his 4 wheeler again...VROOM, VROOM!

One of Cooper's favorite past-times: POPCORN.  His favorite...

This is the look we got on Monday morning while we were trying to clean-up & pack-up...like "do we have to go home?  i don't wanna go home..."

Thanks again to the Rogers for inviting us & Millers for hosting us.  We love you guys very much & are so glad to call you "family"!!

4 Wheelin' Fun

Cooper's 4 Wheelin' Adventures...

So, for Cooper's 1st birthday, Nana (my dad's mom) & Jerry got Cooper this Buzz Lightyear four-wheeler.  Funny, because we had seen it, a week or so before-hand and thought, "no way would be able to ride that yet"...Well, we sure did under estimate him!  We plugged it right in and the very next day he was riding w/o our help!  It was so cute to watch his head "fling" back as he pushed the button & took off.

1 thing he couldn't get down, and still hasn't conquered, is the TURN...so, as one can imagine, it is not much fun for him to ride in the house anymore when he runs into everything...not even much fun for him to ride in the front/back yard when he needs our help to keep his adventures WILD...ya know?  Therefore, I had a plan to take him to the school across the street & let him "just ride"...

One Sunday, we finally managed to do it.  We went over, first thing in the morning, still in our jammies and "wolf-smelled" hair....for those of you who don't know what this is...in my home, growing up & still to this day, if you got up with WILD hair in the morning, Mama would say "you look like you smelled a wolf"...and you get now what our hair looked like, I am sure...

Anyway, to the photos, here are some of my favorites of my little WILD CHILD/Hell's Angel Wanna Be, "Ridin' like a Bat Outta Hell" through the City View Elementary parking lot...LOL, real wild, trust me, with his bare-feet and astronaut pj's!

Couldn't resist taking a couple of him playing in front of the school, that in a very short time, will become his school...Oh My!  Now, I am tearing up.  My little angel.  Enjoy.

Let me see your comments.  Show some love....

Cooper's 1st Haircut

A few weeks ago, Beej & Emmy came to visit us...And Little Frog Prince got a much needed haircut.  We are lucky our "Emmy" is a hair stylist!  :)  He didn't quite know what to think at first, but then when we let him play with toys & "bathe" in the sink, he liked it!  He was a good sport.  Emmy was nervous, so we were really lucky that he behaved!!

You know there was plenty of documentation - cell phone pictures, point-and-shoot pictures, live video footage, and DSLR pictures!  I know, you are shocked, aren't you?  :)  Enjoy.
