Busy Busy Week

We started our dance class this

week.  We signed up with

two other couple friends

and it is so much fun!

 

 

We look forward for Thursdays

all week long!

 

We've learned the two step

and the country waltz so far.

Rylee snuck in the neighbors yard

and picked me some lilacs!

He knows I love them!!

They just smell so pretty!

Lots of Butterfly prep

for a big craft show we

have coming up.

I have 544 signs on my

to do list for this one.

 

There wasn't a bare surface

in the house with this first

batch of 238.  It's lots of work!

but I love it!

 

Spring is in full swing around here.

I prepped all of my beds and pots

and even planted a few seeds.

I just love this guy!

 

Rylee is already tackling the

STARR test again.  I got them

new shirts to help ease the anxiety.

 

Another Court of Honor was

this week.  Cody got his Star Rank

and lots of merit badges.

 

Rylee got his Life rank

and lots of merit badges.

They are so close to

their Eagle rank.

I am super proud of them.

 

Our big fat princess

wasn't feeling too good

the past few days.

I finally decided just to

take her to the vet to be safe.

She ended up being really

dehydrated and having some

kind of virus.  They put her

on an IV and gave her lots

of meds and wanted to

keep her overnight.

 

Her first night ever without us.

She was so freaking

happy when we picked

her up.  Absolutely 100

percent better than

when we took her in.

It is good to have

her back home!

 

Cody has been wanting to

ride bikes with KC from

our house to Grandpas house.

They finally did it

and Cody loved it.

Yellowcard

Cody's first concert!

 

I was looking for concerts

near by and happened to

find out that Yellowcard was going to

be in Albuquerque.  They are one of

my favorites!  It would be a rough trip

(there and back in one day)

but I really wanted to go.

 Cody was so excited!!

 

I slept on the way down so that

I would be well rested ish to drive back

after the show.

 

 

 

This place was super small and

SO crowded!

 

We lucked out and got a perfect

standing spot though.

 

 

 

The show was so good!

Cody loved it!

 

KC finally has a concert buddy!

I see a lot of concerts in their future!

Spring Break

Back in our Happy Place!

 

I came down with the boys half way

through Spring Break.  KC still needed

to do some work, so he stayed behind.

He will join us for the weekend.

 

The weather was gorgeous!

I love this sign!

 

Our camper is one of my

most favorite place!

Lots of board games - as always.

 

An updated Old School

Oregon Trail.  The boys love it.

 

 

 

I've started planning my gardens!

I am so ready to have my plants back.

Crock pot full of roast and veggies

while my boys are on the slopes.

 

Rylee found me a ton of beads

to add to our collection!

A ton!  Yay!

 

We took Cops up to run and

chase the ball.  He got tired and

found the only pile of snow

to lay in on the whole mountain.

I guess he wanted to cool off.

Cody and KC had so much fun

skiing together.  KC said Cody

was the best he's ever been.

Since it was spring break

they had the critter scavenger hunt.

Cody found a ton of critters.

He even found the golden lobster!

All of his finds got him a lot of

really cool prizes.

 

One of the prizes was for two

passes for the zip line.

 

My tulips LOVED the

morning mountain sun!

 

I love this!

 

I tried for years to get him to read the

Harry Potter books.  He is on

the 5th book already.  He won't

hardly put them down.

 

I love it and I am so proud of him!

We took the dogs to the Fairy Gardens

to run around.  It was just me and Ry.

Copper crossed the river to get his ball

and Heidi tried to follow him.  It was

too deep though and she got swept away.

I couldn't get to her from where I was

and either could Ry.  We were running

and trying to though.  Copper jumped in

and pushed her up onto a log with his

snout and stayed with her until I got

to her.  He really is such a good boy!

He's our hero!

Skiing!

 

These two had so much fun!

 

Skiing Video

 

 

Cody skied the face!

 

I told him that if they were

going to have Cody ski The Face

I DID NOT WANT TO KNOW!

At least until after.

 

 

He did it though! 

I am super proud of him!

 

 

There were some bumps and bruises

this trip, but they were full of great

stories.  As Always!

 

 

 

Another prize Cody won was 3

passes for tubing.

 

These boys never slow down!
