Holy moly....that is ONE LONG CAR RIDE!!! :) From Nampa-SLC, SLC-Pueblo West, CO, Pueblo West-Denver, Denver-Pueblo West, Pueblo West BACK to SLC, and then SLC back to Nampa!! Talk about a road trip!! But we had the most amazing time. We haven't been able to go back to Colorado for quite some time and I am so glad we made it back. The kids had a BLAST with their cousins, we had so much fun just hanging out with everybody. Almost makes me want to move there! ALMOST. :)
These pictures are totally backwards, but my computer takes FOREVER to upload, so we will take our vacation from end to beginning! Beware....12 days of vacation means TONS OF PICS! :)
What 4th of July is complete without a little sparkler action?
Me and my smiley little guy, he was THE BEST on the trip. Seriously for only 5 1/2 months, without his crib and all that time in the car? Seriously...a champ!
My cute mom and dad...isn't their backyard AMAZING?!
My dad and Brooklyn...she ADORES him.
We were able to go to the Stadium of Fire/Carrie Underwood/Fireworks show down in Provo for the 4th. It was fantastic. The girls had a blast...Brooklyn decided to take a bit of a catnap during Carrie Underwood, but was able to wake up for the last song and the fireworks!
Kylee was HILARIOUS during the concert....clapping and singing, someone must have given her an energy pill cause she was CrAzY!!
My cute hubby and I, enjoying a slushie before the concert.
My mom and Kaden before the concert. I was so worried about taking him to a LOUD concert/LOUD fireworks show. But, with a blanket over his ears and a binky in his mouth, he LOVED it. He would just stare at the fireworks...it was pretty cute!
Kylee and Brooklyn sportin' their 4th of July shirts and bows!
While we were on our little vacay, this little guy thought it would be ok to want a bottle EVERY TWO HOURS. Not ok!! So, I went and got him some rice cereal and he loved it! Not that this picture shows that...but really, he does!
Ok...here are the Colorado pics! There is this fun little park where they have 25 cent rides...25 cents?!? AWESOME! This was a cool little train ride that everyone got to go on, Kaden loved it!
Drew, Christie, Robin, Esther and Robert....all of my hubby's family, minus his little bro Kyle...who was stuck in ID working!!
All the girls getting ready to ride the kiddie rollercoaster! These girls were amazing ride riders...they went on EVERYTHING! Even some that in no way would I EVER go on. NEVER EVER!
My hubby, Kaden and my cute mom-in-law.
All the grandkids, oldest to youngest. Lacee, Kylee, Kenzee, Brooklyn, Zac and Kaden. There is a kiddo born every year from 2003-2007....until I screwed up the pattern and had Kaden in 2010!!
We went bowling, which, with 5 kids, was pretty entertaining!! Brooklyn actually got a couple of strikes!! My hubby and his dad and Kaden.
It isn't bowling without a little chocolate!! :) Brooklyn still LOVES her chocolate!
oooohhhhh.....look at those cheeks! that smile! I can't get enough! He is such a fun baby!!
This picture cracks me up...these are two girlie-girlie girls. Look at how they are posin'! I have so many pictures of these two together and in EVERY one, they are both posin'. With no help from anybody! It just comes natural!
We were able to go up to see some relatives in Denver and they have a pool...so fun!! My bro-in-law and Kenzee...I told Kenzee to smile, and she tried, she really did, but she was SO COLD that she couldn't do it! Poor little thing, her lips were SO BLUE!
Again...two more silly little girlies! Lacee and Kylee!
Brooklyn and her daddy!
My cute sis-in-law Robin feeding Kaden...I hate that this picture is dark and the only one I have! That's what happens when it's the girls that are always takin' the pictures...and of course, the one that I have turns out dark!
Cute Brooklyn and Kenzee...these two were inseperable!
My mom-in-law, her dad and Kaden.
Drew and his dad.
Isn't my nephew the cutest stinkin' thing?!? He was SO excited to finally have a boy cousin! When Zac first saw Kaden, he gave him a hug and said, "I missed you baby Kaden!" It was pretty sweet. He was so protective over Kaden the whole time we were there, always wanting to make sure I had his binky, or his bottle or blanket. Such a stud!
Dad and Kaden...he really did like the swing...he except for the fact that he kept falling over! :)
My little sis-in-law, Christie. This girl is AMAZING. My kids just adore her. (I do too!!) She is 16 and such a good helper with all the kids. She used to come stay with us for the whole summer, which was AWESOME, but then she had to grow up and get a job...BOOO!!! Seriously though...this girl is a rockstar!
All the girls HAD to ride together, wherever we went. It didn't matter whose car it was...just as long as they were together! We did alot of car seat changing throughout the trip...but they all had so much fun!
I am so glad we were able to go to Colorado. We always dread the drive, but with stopping in Salt Lake to break up the trip, it wasn't too bad at all! We need to get over there more often...we loved spending time with family and friends!! And kudos to anyone who is still actually reading this....that was one long post!!
