Speaking of...

...blowing kisses awhile ago. Brandon was leaving tonight, and I told Isabela to blow him a kiss. Instead, she walked over and kissed him on the lips...then blew air right into his mouth. We laughed hysterically. She is ridikulus! as she puts it :D

Hiking to Hanging Lake

June 2012

It took us two tries. We went up one evening to see how the hike would be, then came down after about 45 min when it was getting dark. The next week we went up at 6:30am to get a fresh start. It was Amazing! Round-trip took us barely over 3 hours, and Isabela hiked almost the whole way. At 3 years old, I say that's quite a feat. Brandon carried her twice for just a couple minutes each time, then again at the end where it gets really steep.

Enjoying the leisurely venture!

Walking to the trailhead!

Don't you love how she uses both hands to make the Hang Loose sign?

She really surprised me at how well she climbed up all of these places by herself.

Peace out, dude!

Our first attempt. Don't you love her head/sweat band she HAD to wear to go HIKING!

My HOUSE! It's just the right size for me! (She was thrilled to come upon this)

At the top!!

All tuckered out! This hike has been exhausting!!

Probably my favorite day in Colorado so far!! The lake is beautiful, and I loved spending time with our little family!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Eating out! One candle in his cake and ice cream. (Not too difficult to blow out compared to the 34 that should have been there!)

Happy Birthday daddy!

Chillin' with the fam at basketball games.

Denver

June 2012

Brandon had a Blaine Ray TPRS teaching conference in Denver, so the kids and I played while he was in sessions!

Visiting the temple. The kids loved it. They asked so many questions, and watched some grounds workers trim high branches on the trees.

Putting our hands in the wonderful water!

Enjoying the high life...

Wow! That is tall!

If you ever ask Isabela about her wedding, she has it all planned out. She is going to get married in a white dress, have a white cake, wearing a tiara, and her husband is Alexander, whom she will be marrying in the temple. But they can't get married yet, because they have to "grow up first." My mom asked me once if I was going to correct her and say she can' t marry her own brother. I said, "Of course not. He is her best friend, and I am not about to go ruining that any time soon." They love to hug each other, and Bell says, "Xander loves me toooo much!"

We walked to a nearby park from the temple.

On tip-toes to get up to the hole.

Not quite tall enough, but I LOVE this one.

Just a few more inches, and I can do this one by myself. I can't believe how big they are getting!

Splash Park in Rifle

He is always so good to leave on his hat and glasses. And loves, Loves, LOVES, the water!

Blowing a kiss!

Getting ready to go...

Daddy's little girl!

Isabela teaching me how to play the violin! Greatest imagination!

Tucked herself and her baby in to bed!

The little daredevil kept jumping off this box. It took him almost 5 minutes each time to get up and get his balance, then he would squat all the way down, and fly off it.
