Today was the perfect outside day- not too hot, not too cold, juuuussssstttt right!  So, before dinner, Kolby and I went "fishing" in the creek and mom snapped some photos.  We had lots of fun and only got a little messy!  Happy Summer everyone!

*ps- I also learned how to ride my pedal bike without the training wheels today! Hopefully video will be coming soon...stay tuned!

I am a little overwhelmed by how long it's been since I have blogged, and so many fun things have happened!  But, I have to start somewhere, so here you go!  My dad was my soccer coach this year and we had our last game last night!  It was such a fun season and we celebrated with blue frosted cupcakes!  Yum!  We also got participation medals- I'm calling mine a reward...oh and in case you're wondering I scored 3 goals last night- one with an assist from Edward, another on an assist from Kaylan...it's all about the team!

PINK PARTY!!!

 So, Kolby turned 2 a couple weeks ago and all she kept saying when we asked her about her party was "PINK CAKE!" We decided to go with it and had a totally pink party!  It was pretty fun...here's some pictures from her actual birthday, and her party!  Happy Birthday Little Missy (that's what I sometimes call my sister...)!!!

My future career as a photographer...

So I've been loving my new camera, and I figure since I'm old enough to actually take pictures, I'm old enough to have more say in what photos appear on my blog...so, enjoy some recent fun I've had with friends, family, and of course, puppy!

Oh, and be sure to check out my new "machine shirt" in the last photo (yes, I know it's sideways...I'm old enough to take the picture, but I don't mess with formatting yet!)

dinner with the trotter's...right before Baby Jack was born!

daddy...always lookin' good

puppy...need i say more?

my first excavator shirt- love it!

Lots of Brother/Sister Fun!

Mom says she thinks we've "turned a corner" on Kolby and me playing better together...Not totally sure what that means, but it sounded good so we'll go with it! The last couple weeks we've had lots of fun doing lots of different things together! Here's just a few...

On Monday, while Daddy was at club, we made peanut butter cookies and banana bread! We were good helpers, and even better taste-testers! Yum!


Last weekend, Mommy was at a YL retreat, and we went to lots of parks with Daddy! This was on the tire swing at Wash Park- we were singing and having so much fun!

Mommy & Debby made us crowns at the retreat- we are children of the King! That makes us prince and princess I guess! Anyway, we had fun wearing our crowns around this week...

My own pictures!!!

Yep, that's right, Debby and Dida got me my very own camera for Christmas and here is my photographic debut! Mommy and I did a building site in my room yesterday so I documented with pictures! Check out my cool line-up of trucks! They carried all the materials from the lumber yard to the building site...

lotsa pictures...

ok people...least favorite feature of blogger- the pictures are always in backwards order.

but, you're smart, you can figure it out :) here are a few to highlight what's been going on with us lately (and why I haven't been blogging much!)...

Mommy & Daddy just spent a week in Florida for a YL conference- this was done by a plane on the last day! how cool!

I have been skiing LOTS since Christmas, and can now go down the "big mountain" all by myself! I love it! It's Daddy's and my favorite "guy time" activity!


Don't know about you, but I haven't read the Harry Potter books...Mom & Dad keep talking about how awesome the new park was! They loved it!

TEBOW! TEBOW! Even though we're not in the Super Bowl, we had so much fun cheering on the Bronco's this year! And, I'm pretty pumped about Daddy's and my matching shirts!

Once again this year River and I had matching jammies for Christmas! He's actually wearing the pair that were too small for me- I have to teach him all about machines, so this is a good start!
