Red Rock

Last Saturday we went exploring again.  We drove around for a bit but finally ended up at Red Rock.  There is a really cool outdoor ampitheatre among all these really big red rocks. (very similar to Tuachaun in Utah)  They have concerts there in the summer and many well known people have played there.  After we climbed about 500 stairs to the top, we realized there was parking at the top!  Oh well, Carter did great and walked all the stairs himself.  Bev got a good workout and carried Avery:)  Can't wait to go back and see a performance there!!!!!

Boulder, Colorado

I am not doing so great with my goal of blogging once a week:(  I will do better.

On Saturday we decided to take a drive out to Boulder.  Just for fun.  It was about an hour drive and of course both the kids fell asleep in the car.

When we got to Boulder we drove up a canyon to Boulder Falls.  There was just a short climb up to the falls.

 

  Then we drove to Historic Downtown Boulder and ate lunch at Old Chicago Pizza.

 It was a fun family day!

Superbowl

Great Superbowl.  Great half time show.  Great food.  Great friends. 

Maggie gives it the thumbs up!

 Navy liked my Rice Krispie Footballs:)

 Wow!  Poor Avery was sick and super grumpy.  This is right before she passed out after whining almost the whole game:(  Poor thing.

Say CHEESE

Just a little sneak peek at some of the great pictures of Carter and Avery that were taken by the fabulous Ashley Swapp.

Kiddos!!!!!

I just have lots of pics of the kids so I had to post a few.  I think they are pretty darn cute.  I love being their mommy!

 This actually happens quite often.  Anythime I run to the store or bank they fall asleep!  Love how their heads are both tilted the same way:)  Just wish there was a drive through grocery store.  Hate waking them up!

 Love this little squishy!

 First time Avery pulled herself up to standing. 

 Carter's new favorite "toy".  He says, "Where is my computer?"

Thanks Gpa and Gma Myers.

 Avery walking along the couch.  She will be totally mobile soon!

 This kid is a comedian.  He is always making me laugh and I have so much fun hanging out with him.  He is for sure a mommy's boy<3

 It may look like Carter is choking Avery, but he was actually tickling her.  So loves playing with him.

 Trying to get a decent picture of both kids is almost impossible!

 This one is as close as it gets!

 I have pictures of me when I was little with my legs crossed just like Avery.  She is my mini me!

Avery was 11 months old on 1-11-11.  Almost 1 year.  Where has the time gone?

The LIST!

My LIST of New Year's Resolutions/Goals for 2011. 

Ok, so of course at the top of the list is lose weight. One year, hopefully, this will not have to be at the top of the list, or on it at all:)  I found a 5k and 10 k that i will be running.  Yikes!

I want to take more pictures and video and learn how to edit them in Photoshop (which I got for Christmas).

At Christmas I decided I wanted an Advent Calendar.  I want one like the one we had when we were kids.  So my sister found this one that is very similar.  I figure if I start now and work on it all year I might actually finish it by Christmas!

Read more books!  I get in moods.  I read lots, then not at all.  I want to finish the Uglies series.  I are currently reading Specials and then Extras is the last book.  I also have Girl with the Dragon Tatoo series that I want to start.

I already have my Utah cosmetology license and have kept it current.  But I would like to get my Colorado license and maybe find a salon that I could work at a couple days a week.

I want to make cute headbands and other girly things.  I always find cute stuff I want to make but never do.  So this year I will DO!  This also includes learning how to sew.  Not making my mom do it all for me:)

 So many other things on the LIST.  Date night with hubby.  Get family pictures.  Blog more.  Be more organized. And on and on...........

Happy New Year!

Ok so I know I'm a little late but our computer was getting fixed and it just took me a while to get things back to "normal" after the holidays.  One of my resolutions is to update the blog once a week.  I have never printed my blog but I would like to this year so it is going to be more of a journal of the things I want to document and remember.  Can't wait to see what comes our way in 2011!

Laughing all the way.....

We have had a great Christmas and are enjoying spending time with family and friends. I plan on updating the blog more after we get home and things calm down a bit.

Happy Holidays!

Melt in your mouth

Yum! This place just happened to be right next to Chuck E Cheese. Could not pass it up.

Chuck E Cheese

Carter has been to Chuck E Cheese a few times in Utah, but this was Bevin's first experience! Oh the fun. They both look sooo serious. Must have been an intense game:)

What a cute face!

Showing me all his $$$$

Avery was in awe of all the comotion.

We enjoyed a fun afternoon eating pizza and playing some games. Carter was asleep as soon as we got in the car. And Avery went down for a nap as soon as we got home. I think Bev and I might enjoy a little snooze ourselves!
