SLACKERFACE!!
Sorry I've been such a slacker lately with the blog! Not really feelin up to it, but now that I have the NEW best friend of an air conditioner in our home, I can stand to be at my computer for more than 3 seconds! There are more to come in the next few days, but here are a few to whet your whistle. :)
Happy Fourth!
Around our house, the 4th of July is one of the fav's. Cole's for sure! This year did not disappoint. We had a great time. We went to the same park as we did last year, except for this year we were ON TIME for the parade, and it is a dang good thing too, because Lincoln rode around that course like 6 or 7 times! He is really into his bike. As long as it doesn't wiggle, he is in hog heaven! Payton had a great time going around and snatching everyones flags and waving them around. We enjoyed some friends, popsicles, watchin and runnin through of the firehose, and ridin bikes/strollers!
The 3 parade goers...Cole joined in after he was done taking pics. He's MUCH better than me!
Calvin and Lincoln getting pumped and ready to start the parade!
My little flag snatcher/waver.
Check out that look of complete concentration! It took alot when there were kids flyin by you the whole time!
Payton and Mom getting ready to start the parade as well! We didn't get very far that way.
Little Mamma's boy. MAN is this a cute/happy little guy!
BEST pic of the day! How CUTE is he! He loves the bikin!
We then went home and had a nice little NAP which is always nice. We didn't know what we were going to do that night, because it was SO STORMY! It rained cats and dogs for a while, and we didn't know if we were going to be able to do any fireworks or anything like that, so we decided to head to Red Robin with the Dix's and have a scrumptious dinner and then decide what to do! Everyone in the restaurant enjoyed 3 crazy boys yelling and screaming and throwing food and everything else. (Okay, so it was just Payton doing those things, but there were 2 other boys there!) After dinner, it was still pretty stormy and we didn't feel like taking the kids somewhere where they would be miserable, so we headed back to the Dix's abode and bought a few fireworks and had a fantastic display of pyrotechnics! Just as we were finishing, the fireworks from a neighboring park that we didn't even know were doing fireworks started going off, and they were great! So we hopped into the car, drove a little ways and watched the rest of the fantastic fireworks! It was so fun. I LOVE fireworks! Then we headed back to the Dix's, ate yummy strawberry shortcake, then took our EXHAUSTED boys home to bed! It was all in all a very festive and american-ish 4th! Here's to the 24th and more fireworks! YEAH!
Sparklers are some of my fav's, and Lincoln thought so too.
Payton wasn't quite so sure! He wouldn't take his eyes off them for fear they would jump out at him!

Tiny Town
EVERYONE has to go to Tiny town if they live in Denver, especially if you have little boys that are absolutely OBSESSED with trains! We pretty much know where all the train stuff is, and can tell you all about them. So we decided one Saturday to take a little jaunt up to Tiny Town and spend a few hours up there. It definitely didn't disappoint. The boys had a GREAT time playing in all of the little houses, and having a fun picnic, and of course riding the Train! Paytons LEAST favorite thing was sitting in the front seat because we kept getting all of the "CINDERS AND ASHES" (funny if you watch Thomas every single day of your life!) all over his face, and he wasn't down with that. Funny little guy. Lincoln of course was in HEAVEN! He might just end up like our train conductor that started liking trains when he was Link's age, and decided that he wanted to drive one for a living. To each his own I guess! Anyways, here's some shots of the fun day!
CARRRRSSSS!!!!!!
Checkin out the little gas station. Definitely Cole's favorite!
Gettin ready to start the Train ride! CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD!!! (That's what Payton was shouting the entire time we were going, except, of course, for when he was mad about the CINDERS AND ASHES!
He found a train that looked like Thomas that was on a Switch Point, and was PRETTY pumped about it! Cute little dude!
