Colorado Road Trip

So I just returned from Massachusetts 2 weeks ago and now we are headed off to Colorado!!! The trip is nearly the same distance, Colorado a bit closer. We will be attempting a stop at one of "Guy's" (from Food Network) Diner's, Drive-in's, and Dives! So excited! Definitely a highlight on the drive out.
Our last trip went so well. I think this one will be great too. I just love all the funny stories we are collecting this summer from our trips!
Rocky Mountains here we come!!!!

Catching Fire Flies

 

I love summer nights!

A Broken Heart

And a mom who was not fully listening to her sons request gone wrong. Poor Taatjes:(
Taatjes fell in love with Tike while we were out visiting Grandma and Heehaws house. One day while we were all in the kitchen Taatjes asked if we could "take Tike home with us". I in my half tuned in state of mind heard; "can we take home a kite". I quickly responded with a yes (now be on your way attitude) answer for him. He seemed extremely pleased. Nice, that was easy enough. Uh not so. My mom quickly chimed in, thank goodness; "did you hear what he just asked you?" Um yes he said something about a kite. My mom, "No he asked if he could take home Tike!" Oh my goodness no of course we can not take home Tike, Taatjes we will never be taking Tike home! Crack...went the small heart inside his small chest and out came the whales of disappointment. I felt terrible! Real nice move! He just loved Tike always giving him treats and unfortunately for Tike cuddling him to death. Classic listening blunder. Sorry Taatjes is was at the expensive of your hearts fondest wish.

Side note: As I am writing this Trey passed by and saw the pictures. Let me quote him. "Look Taatjes and Tike the buddies!"

I think I like these fake teeth the most...

...and yes, I have worn them out myself!
This time accompanied by little christmas butter knives the boys found in Grandmas drawers. Just like the "real Peter Pan" has!

Andrew and Becca We Love You! (Chris and Jen too of course)

 

We miss you all so much already! The boys are now pretending you are still around and playing with you! Kinda sad though:(
Thanks for letting the boys swim at the pool everyday and keeping them entertained! They have asked me to bring them to your house for swimming and Sardines...wish I could!

Our new Neice Greer!

She is just adorable! We are all in love with her! She already has so much spunk for a little girl. She is a mover, I can see now how much abuse she was giving her poor mama:) The boys just had to have a picture of her with the monkey they picked out for her with Grandma and HeeHaw. We will miss her and can't wait to see her again soon!

This too!

Pancakes and Air Hockey!

This is what Grandpas are good for...

...a pair of fake teeth! All 3 boys got a pair from Grandpa. For some reason the other 2 love wearing them but will not let me take a picture of it. As you can see this is not true for Trey, he is loving them.
