Smiling Alexis




Alexis is smiling, but it is impossible to catch her on camera or video. Today the planets and stars must have aligned and I got her smiling on camera! It was really cute and I hope this video does it justice. She is 8 weeks this weekend.

Just Kids

Kurt's work just had a party at a local boondocks. It was fun we had dinner and then got 3 hours of unlimited games and go karts. You should have seen our "booty" from all our ticket winnings, all the toys broke within 5 minutes, but oh well it wasn't our money!:) Here are some cute pictures.

Lauren was too small to ride the big go karts with Kurt, but they had little karts for the kids. She could run the gas pedal but steering was too much. The attendant ran her around. She had a lot of fun until she hit a curb and hit her chin on the pillowed steering wheel. It wasn't hard at all, but enough to scare her.

Here are two pictures of my other big kid. He has terrible road rage in this picture beware! I was going to go, but the weather turned rainy and really cold for august.

Sweet 16. Kurt and his rad-moblie.

Carrot Boy and his mutant brothers

So our garden has been doing really well. We have eaten some and thrown away other stuff, but the point is that it has grown!! Anyway two days ago Kurt decided that it was time to harvest the carrots. The green tops are growing out of control and he was positive they were done. Here is a picture of the green tops.
They are in the top right corner. Anyway big, long, luscious carrots tops. "Mmmmm. Can't wait to harvest and eat gigantic, delicious carrots." So Kurt pulls them all up at once and this is what we grew....
Sadly these do not even qualify as "baby carrots" Teeny tiny carrots. Lauren likes to eat them. They are so cute.... except for the last one... we have named him "Carrot boy the mutant" He is genetically superior to his brothers in every way. Here is a close up to our creation. It may seem like a fuzzy picture but that is just a side effect to photographing a mutant. We are going to create the new and upcoming series called the Baby Mutant Ninja Carrots. Featuring Carrot Boy the Mutant and his nine ninja brothers. Its a work in progress. In fact I would be surprised if it even has a pilot.

Blessing Day

We were able to bless Alexis while visiting my family in Idaho. It was really special since family could be there where it wouldn't be that way in Colorado. Here are some pictures.

Alexis in her dress

Big Sister Lauren has never been prouder.

Getting a picture of all of us happy and looking good was quite a chore! Out of about 10 pics this was the best. I am getting used to "real to life" pictures with kids!
