Oh glorious VAIL!!

#1- Sorry if I grossed any of you out with my previous post! I just had to share that disturbing clip with you (thanks a lot Kara). I still can't believe all the crazy one liners: "Better than mangos." "I don't want to get bigger. I want breast milk." And my all time favorite "Child on one side, husband on the other." Those kids are going to grow-up real "normal"!!!

Here are a few pics from Vail. I promise, no breast feeding involved!

Jaden in front of the hotel



Swimming at the pool. Jaden has to wear his goggles at all times. Thanks Laura! We still owe you $4!

This kid has no fear! He starts swim lessons in July- thank goodness!

Bradli in her swim suit, eyes closed, and one sock!

In front of the hotel.

Going to dinner in the Village

On Saturday we decided to hike to Booth Falls. I got my butt kicked, but it was so worth it. Yeah, I'm out of shape BIG time!!

Doug's co-worker Kristen came with us and we had a great time!

SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

I felt like Dora, over the hill, across the river, to Booth Falls.


We made it!!!

There was even some snow still at the top.

Look to the right of the picture and you can see the water fall.
On our way down we lost one.

We hiked like this the entire time- okay, stop laughing!

Beautiful Vail Village


We had such a wonderful time together as a family. We were able to celebrate Father's Day doing all the things Doug loves- eating Mexican, hiking, and spending time together.
We love you!!

Once again, PROCRASTINATING!!

I know, I bet you're real surprised. Doug has a conference up in Vail so we're tagging along for a few days. I've already packed for Jaden and Bradli (which I thought was pretty good) but now it's 12:37 AM and I still need to finish packing my stuff- ugh! I ran downstairs to grab the sunblock and found myself at the computer. I guess I should get off, but before I go, here are some pictures of what has been going on with us. . .

June's weather has been crazy! 80 one day and the next day 50. On a 50 day we hit the bowling alley with our favorite buddies- Alexa and Dallin!


Jaden hiding so he didn't have to get his diaper changed- pretty sneaky!

Our neighbor gave us tickets to the Rodeo and Jaden had to wear his hat!


Bradli's first day to church and our first family picture of all 4 of us- oops!

Jaden is going to a preschool Summer Camp and he LOVES it. The camp is a fish theme and Jaden is having an absolute blast.

His backpack is really "practical". He can maybe fit one goldfish cracker in it- oh well!!

I had to get a picture of Miss Bradli in this outfit Laura gave her. It was so cute!

Tuesday night we went to Mason's b-day party at Chuck E Cheese. All the kids (including Doug) had fun playing games and eating pizza.

I love this picture of Mason holding Jaden's neck- classic!

Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures

Doug and a buddy found this new trail right by our house that is great for hiking, mountain biking, running, etc. It reminds me of Laguna Canyon, minus the ocean breeze and smell- dang it!

Jaden loves riding in the backpack and Bradli loves the Bjorn.


Jaden had to throw every rock he found on the trail.

Bradli's first real bath. She loved the warm water and didn't even cry when Jaden dumped a cup of water on her head. This Little Lady is going to have to learn how to defend herself FAST!

Bradli is still so small she can't fit into much, but I had to put her bracelet on her little wrist. I'm in LOVE!

Jaden really is such a great BIG brother!


So have you noticed Jaden wearing the same outfit in every picture?? That's because Grandpa and Grandma Brown just got back from Switzerland and they brought back Jaden a Swiss soccer uniform. He is OBSESSED with it. He has worn it LITERALLY day and night. I was finally able to wash it the other day and trust me, those white shorts needed to be cleaned!

Where we live there was a huge bike race called Elephant Rock this past weekend. We walked around the venue and then the boys hit the Elephant rock wall.


Bradli was an angel and slept the entire time!

Jaden had to run on the soccer field in his uniform- of course!!
