OCD

Ayden has developed somewhat of a strange OCD this summer. One afternoon after playing outside I pointed out how dirty his toes where and quickly washed them off before putting him down for a nap. Well, Ayden has become very aware of the state of his toes. I have caught him "cleaning his toes out"on countless occasions and caught him cleaning Colby's toes for him (which Colby loves and totally sits still for him to do), and offering to clean aunt's, uncle's, grandma's, grandpa's and friends' toes!Look who he has passed the obsession on to...Crazy boys!

Big No. 4

We did a party at the splash pad for this little man. The kids had a great time, and so did I! Having a party not at your house is the way to go-all you have to do is put the trash in the garbage and clean up is done!We decided to do an orange spread for the party. It was a little breezy that day-notice the capri suns scattered everywhere to hold everything down!I love this picture of Sadie and ColbyCute Holden

The Pinata!

Present time-always a favorite! My sister Nic and Annie's cute little GabeColby with pizza sauce ta-bootKipp was great playing with the kids in the water-have to say it is so nice to have the husband around-usually it is mom's job to entertain!

Happy Birthday to my little Ayden man!

Cake and Ice Cream

On the night of Ayden's Birthday, we had family over for cake and ice creamHe told me he wanted a Spiderman cake-this is as good as it gets folks!I can't believe this little man is 4 already!He got a new bike for his birthday!

Birthday at the Zoo

I wanted to do something fun on Ayden's Birthday, so I headed out the door to take the boys to the Children's Museum at the Gateway. After driving there, parking and heading up all of the stairs we find that it is closed for cleaning that day! Great! So we decided to go to the zoo. It ended up being a great day for the zoo, and the kids had a great time.

Mom and the Birthday Boy!

"Choo-choo!" Happy Birthday big 4 year old!

First Day of School

Ayden started Preschool at Magic Moments Preschool this year. He absolutely loves it, and his teacher is darling! It is going to be a great school year!

Moser Family Reunion at Snowbird

We had Kipp's family reunion at Snowbird in August. We love spending time with his family. They are so much fun, and his Aunts are hilarious! Every year they put on a show of crazy skits-they always keep us laughing! We were able to ride the big tram up the mountain and then hike down a bit to catch a ride on a smaller chair lift down. Beautiful views at the top!

We had a great time visiting, swimming, riding the Alpine slides and enjoying great company! Thank you!

Cowabunga Bay

We bought a season pass to Cowabunga Bay this summer-best money I have spent in a while. We got a great deal at Costco. And since we have been in a basement apartment most of the summer, it was so nice to get out and have a place to go! We often went with our friends the Boogaards or with our cousins. We had a great routine down from packing to lunch to even showering there afterwards (so that could stick my kids right in beds for naps the second we got home). I didn't bring my camera once the whole summer. Thank heaven Mel remembered hers on our very last visit. I think we will have to repeat this activity next summer-the boys loved it!
