A Week of Firsts....and Possibly Lasts...

The Larsens came for a visit over Labor Day, we had soooo much fun! The kids didn't even fight which in & of itself is a miracle!! We spent all day Saturday in the Rocky Mountain National Park & Estes Park...it was really crowded but fun. The kids fought over which stroller they got to ride in so you'll notice we have 3 kids crammed in a double...we went hiking around, rode a little zip line car that took us up to the top of one of the mountains, ate pizza in a cute little pizza shop, walked along the river, ate homemade ice cream, and just enjoyed the great weather!! We were soo sad to see them go for sure:)

A few days after they left, Chance had his very first day of PRESCHOOL!! Can you hear it?? Thats right....quiet....ahhhhh...lucky for me Ms. Kenedi naps at the same time so I get a couple hours of peace to get things done, doesn't he look sooo cute??

I can't belive how big he is getting...

The sweet Diego backpack complete with wheels (thank you grandma & grandpa!)

Proud day :)

The latest addition to our family that has survived terrible torture...

And inflicted some as well :)

That same day, Chance had his very first soccer practice. He was very excited, so was his Assistant Coach Daddy...however....I get a call from the hubby about halfway through practice telling me that he is about to stick my son in the car & beat him...apparently Chance wasn't into actually practicing, so the asst. coach had to endure the scrutiny of all the onlooking parents as he attempted to coach their children while his own was screaming bloody murder & holding onto the swing set. Needless to say when he got home, he was in big trouble....that means no cartoons for the rest of the day!
