New Bike

Kemarie got a big kid bike from a garage sale and Dane was very jealous. He found his big wheel bike gave it a good shove and said "no bike" and ran to try and get on Kemarie's. So Tyson told Dane if he would get rid of his binky (pacifier) then we would buy him a big kid bike. Dane looked at Tyson told him "NO" with all his spite and anger. Resentfully he sat on his big wheel bike and took off. He is just a little bit attached to his binky don't you think? Tyson, It was worth a try. I guess we have to find another way to rid him of his binky. Anyone have any suggestions?

Prayers

My sweet Kemarie was saying her prayers a few days ago and it made my heart melt. In her prayer she blessed everyone who has diabetes(her little five year old friend just found out he has diabetes) and bless me not to get it. Bless me not to have to get shots and eat the icky food.

They are much smarter then we give them credit for that is for sure. It is always the little things that make me love being a mother.

Sniffing Spree

My dear daughter Kemarie was eating spree candies last week and being a curious little girl she wanted to see if she could put one up her nose. So a few hours later and many tears we were at the pediatricians to fix the problem. Luckily by the time we saw the doctor the spree had melted enough that they only had to get her to swallow the candy through her sinus cavity and into her throat. Then they stuck an even huge cotton swab with antibiotic ointment to stop her nose from swelling and make it feel better. Here is spree candies just for a better visual.

Durango reunion

Over July 24th week my mothers family had a reunion in Durango, Colorado. It was really fun and I had the chance to see a lot of family I do not see very often. I saw my cousin Michelle and that was really fun, she took me to downtown Durango on my birthday to go shopping. It was fun to see her again. (Michelle I had fun and will see you at Christmas) We were really good friends growing up and I have such great memories of when we were younger.
Some of the things we did was tour an old Gold mine, See old Ghost town, swim in hot springs, visit Mesa Verde, Drive the Million dollar highway and more. See following posts for pictures. Enjoy pictures of the beautiful scenery we encountered.

My favorite part of our trip was the Ghost town we went to see. This town was known as Animas Forks and was an old Mining town North of silverton, Co. I only got a few pictures, but it was incredible view and many of the buildings were still intact. The picture on the bottom was my favorite house.

These are some of the ruins of the puebloan people or commenly known as Anasazi in Mesa Verde. It was really amazing to learn that in this Desert climate their water came from rain on top of the cliffs and would filter through the rock to the back of the cliff dwellings where it would cumulate. I also can not imagine these people bringing all their materials for building homes in the sides of enormous cliffs.

We went on an old gold mine tour. It was really cool to see how they use to mine gold and what a lonely and dark job(literally) they had. Dane is really excited to have his mining gear on.

In Mesa Verde kemarie posed next to an open Kieva (whole in the ground where peubloan people met together, they are usually closed in ,but they left a few open so you could see it from up above.)
