Yellowstone

These are soooo long overdue but we had over a thousand pictures to go through. I picked some out to post. If you have never been to Yellowstone you need to visit. It is absolutely breath taking.
We got off the plane and saw this beautiful scene. It was crazy! We got off the plane on the tarmac, which was pretty neat but very difficult with three kids. I was so scared someone was going to fall down the stairs.

Snow in Summer!!!

The kids were so excited to see snow!
We made it to Yellowstone!!!!!
Our first glimpse of a Grizzly

My parents watched the kids while Mark and I got to take a hike to the top of the mountain to watch Old Faithful. It was so awesome!
This was our attempt at a Christmas card. However, we could not get everyone happy and looking at the camera.

Peyton with some Buffalo!This is when you know there is something good to see! The car line to see a Grizzly Bear!

Daddy and Hayley taking a hike!

An attempt at a family photo in front of one of the most beautiful water falls ever! Hayley was not having it.

Sooo tired after a long day! This was after Peyton said " I can't sleep with Hayley she always tries to sleep on me and her hair gets on me".

Family Hike! You can't really see Tyler but he is in the backpack. You can see his feet.
Peyton making his first snow angel!

This isn't the best picture but it gives you an idea on how close we were to the Grizzly Bears. It was unbelievable!

We had an awesome birthday dinner at Lake Yellowstone Hotel. The place was beautiful and the food was delicious!

Mark and I in front of the lake. We had planned on getting a boat and taking the kids out but little did we know the whole lake would be frozen.

Every time I see the mountains I want to go back. This summer was so hot and Peyton would say "Can't we just go back to Yellowstone?". I wish we could!

Ring around the Rosy

A baby moose and his Mama. Very hard to see but he is to the left of the tree in the middle.

Hayley loved looking at the window and waving to everyone. A real Princess!


You can tell he is a Texas Boy

We got to ride on this cool horse drawn carraige.

Tyler and his first T-Bone!

Hayley and I went for a second ride on the carriage right before we had to leave to go back to Texas. She loved it!

Fly In

We go to a fly in every year and the kids always have so much seeing the planes. Hayley really got into it this year and kept asking when we were going to let her go up in a plane. Mommy is so not ready for that :)

They had these cats there to adopt and the kids were so in love with them.

They were pretty cute!

This is Peyton's pretty please can I have a kitty face!

The kids in front of one of the planes in the hanger.

I snuck up behind them and took this picture. Precious!

Mommy and Peyton. My sweet little boy is growing up so fast.

The boys!

April

We have been busy getting ready for summer and chasing Tyler around the house. He is army crawling now and can move pretty fast and is always after something he is not supposed to have. The big kids are pretty good about watching out for him. I think mostly so he doesn't chew on their toys :)

Anyways, here is what our April looked like:

Tyler's first time at lap sit at the library. I took Peyton here all the time when he was little but poor Hayley and Tyler didn't get to go as much.

Hayley was such a good helper with Tyler. She would bring him toys and loved to sing all the songs.


Hayley brought her baby along and did all the motions with her baby while we sang songs with the little ones. It was so cute! I think she had more fun than Tyler.

My friend Jessica and I took our girls to the Princess on Ice. The girls were super excited so we decided to make all a whold Princess day out of it. We took the girls to get their toes done for the first time.

Hayley was so so excited. She thought it was the coolest thing ever.

The girls were all so cute. They did so good and just enjoyed being pampered.

Mark response was when I told him where I was taking Hayley "Great, now I have to pay for two girls to get their toes done." He was totally right, Hayley keeps asking to go back and get her nails done. I love it, now I have a partner in crime :)

Hayley's precious toes!

We had awesome seats. The first row not on the ice! Everyone was so ready to see all the princesses.

And of course we cannot go with out getting a souvenir. Hayley picked Jasmine.

It made me so happy to see how much Hayley enjoyed the show and spending some one on one time with her Mommy.



Hayley's favorite, Tinkerbelle!

Cinderella was another fav.

All the princesses :)
