Colorado

Me and My Mom were able to go spend a week with Olivia, Aubrielle and Iver while Becky and Aaron got away on a week long cruise (jealous? Yes)  We had quite the time, having 6 kids 9 and under, under one roof was no easy task for me and my Mom.  But the kids loved spending time with their cousins and we stayed nice and busy going swimming, to the Denver Zoo, and to the Circus. 

 This was day 2 at 11 in the morning, Taylee was already down for a nap and Mom was OUT!  It was a tiring night.  Zander was up at 5:30 most mornings and he was in the same room as my Mom (sorry Mom)

 He loved this little toy

 I forgot my camera and didn't take many pictures as you can see oops

Taylee runs on her own time and don't make her do anything she doesn't want to do.  For a few months now I would take off her training wheels every once in a while to see if she could ride her bike.  To no avail it was always  "too hard" she says.  McKell has given her plenty of pep talks that if she learned she could get a new bike, get ice cream, and many more exciting things.  Well while we were in Colorado I asked her once again she yelled no and ran in the house.  Later I come out and her and her cousins had the tools to take them off.  She had to do the work, no one could help her.  Well she had them off jumped on and started riding at FULL SPEED and hasn't slowed down since.  She did get ice cream, but no new bike Yet.  Way to go Taylee
