Some of Kregg's Family

Sorry- this pic is kinda small, but this is Kregg's Aunt Peggy (who we just adore) and Josie.

This is Kregg's cousin Kourtnee, his sister Karla (can you see the resemblance???) and her hubby Randy. It was a really long time since we have seen Kourtnee, and I feel bad because I didn't get to talk to her a whole lot. We actually spent most of our time with Karla and Randy. They crack me up.

This is Kregg's brother Kendall (Father of the Bride). Kregg has always looked up to his brother. His wife Heidi is amazing, too. What a great family.
This is one of Kendall's daughters- Karissa, and her fiancee Steve. They are getting married in October (on Ty's birthday in fact!)- and Kregg and Steve get along WAY too good. I think we might be in trouble.
I don't think I really need to say anything about this picture...

Okay- so how lousy am I?? This was the only picture I got of the beautiful bride Britney and her new husband, just as they are leaving. It didn't even turn out very good! Sorry Brit! But her dress was beautiful, and her new husband seems really great. Congrats you two! And sorry Heidi- this was the only pic I got of you, too! How disappointing. But it was a great weekend and we had a great time! It was so great seeing everyone! We miss you all!

So I guess it's about that time!!

Alright- so our little Lucy Lee will be joining us in the next few weeks (my due date is July 24th). When is she going to come?? Ty was 2 days late, Karson was pretty much on time, and they started me with Mary. Does anyone have any guesses??

All the rest of our Colorado Trip

Okay- I finally can post the rest of these pictures- sorry everyone- it's just been a crazy last couple weeks! So here you go! These pics were when we were passing through Moab. We had to check out at least one arch! This is my brother trying to keep up with the little ones.
Oh crap. 2 of the same picture. Oh well- Ty made it to the top!

I had to stick this pic in here- this is my cute-as-heck little niece Tayvie. Mary couldn't get enough of her. Anyway- my sis-in-law Lacie has some way cute pics of my kids and the trip on her blog: http://www.lagomae.blogspot.com/ so check them out if you get a chance. There are some wicked good pics of the miniature golfing on hers. Thanks Lace!

Horseback Riding in New Mexico

So my Uncle Jessie lives in a little town called Chama in New Mexico. We got to go see him on his ranch- what a blast!! It was really, really windy- but we still managed to get to play with the horses. And the views are just gorgeous!! This is Kregg's cowboy face.

All the kids thrived on feeding the horses. In fact- when we were in Durango a few days later, they were feeding fake horses they liked it so much.
Mary didn't like getting on the horse so much this time. In fact- after we got her down, she went inside and wouldn't come back out until she knew for sure we weren't going to try to put her on the horse again.
Ty was a little worried at first, but once he was on we couldn't get him off!
Karson, too.

Yep- Kregg even rode. But do you think that he would let me? Of course not. But all of you know that I tried!!! Kars was hilarious on this. Watch the video at the bottom of this post.
My uncle Jessie fed us a really great BBQ dinner, then enlightened us with some music! We really had a great time.

Check out these videos!

Can't go on vacation without swimming!

Look- little Tayvie actually fell asleep on me in the pool!


Karson and his tail...

Beautiful lake, but a whole lot of cold...

A little bit of wind and cold won't keep us from skipping rocks!

Hiking and Waterfall!!

My boys love grandma and grandpa!
Super cute kid, huh??

Poor Kregg pretty much went up the whole mile carrying this 25 lb weight... and of course by the time it was time to go downhill she was awake.
Here's aunt Traci and her attachment... he was a little freaked out at the loudness of the water. But way pretty waterfall, huh??
Hiking is actually a lot of fun with little ones! Although I can't wait until they are a little bit older. Ty practically ran the whole hike he was so excited (that's why he's not in these pics...). It's right up his alley.
All the grandkids with Uncle Tony. Sorry they aren't all looking at you, but you should be lucky none of them are picking their nose, sticking out their tongue, or screaming- like all the other pics! :)

Creede

So we drove up to this cute little mining town called Creede. It was a beautiful drive- we went through 2 tunnels (one of which my grandpa actually helped build!). Anyway- here's Lacie and Tayvie.

You gotta love the Colorado mountains and the model showing them off (Thanks Auntie Traci!)... so pretty!
We had to snatch a picture of the Rio Grande! Looks a little different than the Virgin River (well for one thing, it actually has water in it).

Yeah- we actually were in Pagosa Springs!

This town is so pretty! It's this small town in the gorgeous mountains of Colorado. We had 3 condos (my family in one, Tony's in another, and my parents and Traci in the other one). We all pretty much hung out in our room, and Tony's was connected to ours, and it worked out really well. We also had a really pretty and large pond off of the back of our deck full of fish and geese (and at night birds and bats). We also had a rec center we got to go to, and a miniature golf course. Man- Lacie has the BEST pics of the miniature golfing- maybe I can show you those another time. We had a blast, though!
With 5 kids we spent quite a bit of time in the condo- so we did a lot of game playing, eating, and watching movies. Thanks to little Ayz for bringing all her toys so my kids could steal them from her!
Mary is going through this huge princess phase- especially Cinderella- and Ayz had a whole set of them. That's where Mary spent most of her time.
In Pagosa Springs, they also have the hot springs. Next time we go- when I am not hugely pregnant- we'll go hit the resort. Oh man that would be so fun!
Yeah- you get the rotten egg smell... totally worth it though!
