Payson's Preschool Graduation

So the big day finally arrived - Payson graduated from PreSchool.  I was a mix of emotions.  I cried the night before, but held myself together the next day.  St. Luke's Little School did a great job with their program - this children were so proud!



First up.... and few great songs!

Then every class presented what they wanted to be when they grow up and where they are going to Elementary School.  Payson stands strong that he would like to be a construction worker when he grows up!



 Payson was so proud of his certificate - what a huge accomplishment!
 Pretty exciting to have both Nana and Nonnie attend the festivities!
 Dillon was a proud little brother also!

To celebrate, Payson asked to go to Chuck E. Cheese - we had a blast.  One friend from school came with us, and it was so much fun.  I could not believe that there was only a few of us there that afternoon - but I have decided that is the only way I can handle Chuck E. Cheese!

Memorial Day 2013

What a great weekend - we headed up to Keystone on Friday and we were planning on some cooler temps, but it ended up being so nice up there.  We spent the entire weekend outside!

Payson is starting a jr. golf program in a few weeks, so we thought it was time for him to visit the driving range.  It was his first time and he had about a million questions, but my heart just exploded with his love of the game already.  I am so passionate about golf and look forward to many family outings at the course!


We were able to go swimming, play with friends and visit Rainbow Park in Silverthorne.  This park is the greatest - Todd had never been there before and even he was impressed.
 Here come my guys - Payson, Dillon and Todd.


 Come on Mom - put down the camera and come down the slide with me!
 Cheese!
 I mean it, come down the slide with me!
 Payson spinning Todd - this was too funny!


 Memorial Day we ended up back at home, and Daddy and Dillon set up super hero and construction toys in the back yard - very relaxing.


 Payson and Dillon tested out their fishing poles in the backyard.


We ended the night at great friends - the Glens.  The boys had a blast playing with all of the other kids!
Because there is never a picture of just the girls - I had to throw this photo in of great friends!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo - Greatest Place Ever!

Payson, Dillon and I love to visit the Cheyenne Moutain Zoo - even more fun when our friends Zane and Reese come with us!

First stop, feeding the giraffes.






This is too funny not to share - Reese was very sensitive to the stinky giraffe and elephant house.  We told her to plug her nose and this is what we got!

Two buddies sharing some cotton candy - the sugar kicked in quick!

Our attempts at a group picture.




For some reason we thought we would try another group photo!


One last shot of a giraffe tongue.
All aboard the choo choo train - everyone has their red tickets!
We barely made it out of the parking lot before Dillon was passed out!
