Visiting Grandma McBride

On our way back from Canada we stopped in Colorado to see Grandma McBride. She was so happy to have us and cooked for us and we were so grateful to her.

We went for lots of walks at Grandma's farm because the weather was nice and cool

Maysa just loooooved the miniature goats. She named them Teeko and Peeko.

Until one of them started to eat her skirt....

Uncle Bob is Grandma's brother, he has been living with her for the past 13 or 14 years. He is a fun person, he sure liked to observe the kids playing.

This is my Grandpa McBrides gravesite, you can't really see the writings because of the recent down pour.

Jasper and Grandma, she sure loved the twins. We will miss Grandma McBride, maybe I can convince her to come spend time with us in Arizona next winter....

Random fun pictures of our Canadian travels

Our Canada trip was sooo fun, but I was soooo ready to go home by the end. We went to calaway park with Brinton cousins, visited Grandma Rosy and Grandpa Darrel in Glenwood, henderson park, movie day..... it was exhausting, but a good time and good memories.

Sierra and Paris riding the eggs at calaway park, Sierra went on the roller coaster 4 times!

Icecream in Glenwood with bonus Grandparents. They are so kind and dear to us.

A windy windy day at Henderson park, but the kids certainly didn't notice or care

Another picture at calaway park, the girls and their cousins waited about an hour to go on the log ride. They sure loved it!

How my dad's cat Muffy likes to sleep. It makes me chuckle every time..

How my sister and her baby like to sleep.... it also makes me chuckle. So cute.

Aaaaand, playing on the swing set at Grandma Lene's, a classic as always...

Even though its difficult for me, we always visit my mother's gravesite every summer.

Visiting Grandma ZoBell

My Grandma ZoBell just turned 90, so it was on high priority of mine to spend some quality time with her while we were in Canada. The kids got all dressed up and did a play for her one day, and it was so funny, she really loved it.

Grandma cried when we left Canada, which made me cry too, because every moment I spend with her is precious, she is so special to us.

Waterton 2012

Every summer, we go to Waterton- without fail. Its a family tradition. A short hike, spray park, ice cream, family peddle bikes, cameron falls, and red rock canyon.

The short hike, we made it to Blakiston falls. We even took the stroller, it was so nice to be in the fresh mountain air.

Then we took some nice pictures of Mt. Blakiston in the distance. With all the cousins.

Dan ends up carrying both the twins often, I just put them in the stroller... :)

Elena at red rock canyon

Sierra holding up some gold maybe....mmm maybe not.

Maysa looking cute...

Afterward, we had a picnic by the lake, this is our little nephew Oliver that Dan is holding, he is a couple months older than the twins. The twins taught him to walk. Yes they did.

Maggie with Elena Sierra Maysa... and a deer..

We don't go to waterton without taking the rental bikes for a spin. We really had to work hard this time, I don't why, it was harder than I remember, but still lots of fun. The twins were even big enough to hop on!
