Our last few day's of vacation

So here are a few more pictures from our vacation and our trip home. 

This is Sarah my niece and Ella. 

So Sarah says, "liv's hands are dirty" and I said, "she loves to wash her hands so can you help her wash them?" then a few minutes later ella comes running the living room saying, "mom, livia is in her diaper in mimi's sink and she is all wet. come and see" She was having the time of her life and did end up with clean hands thanks to Sarah!

This is us traveling through the airport. Ella loves the escalators but I can't take the stroller on them so we race to the elevator. 

Ella loves the train at the airport. 

This is daddy getting it done!!! He got both the girls to sleep the whole flight! 

On Saturday it snowed a few inches! Ella loved it. It was the best kind of snow. You know the one that makes a great snowman. 

Ella and Karianne playing in the backyard. 

Here is the snowman

Liv didn't feel very good so she had to watch from inside. 

My friend gave Ella this Ariel costume. She loved it and looked amazing too! 

Catching Up

Our Visit with the Sharpe's! 

This is Addison swinging in the backyard. 

This is baby Jayce. He is so cute. 

Here are the boys. Kevin, Brannon and Jayce

And the girls, Me, Sheryl, Addi, and Rae Rae

Now a big sister too! The girls love their baby brother. 

What can I say she loves the camera. She is so beautiful! 

Ella and Michal at the farm. We came to see the new baby calves but couldn't leave out the cat. Ella loves their barn cat. 

Liv loves the animals too. She wants to get in the pen with the horses. 

Kevin and the girls as we visit my Grandpa

Beautiful Ella

Lunch with Kevin's Dad

Visiting the Fire Station. 

Skiing

The other day Ben and Kevin went skiing. They had a blast.

obviously I didn't go because only a few pictures exist. Kevin took some good video though he might post later.  

I had this photo on my other camera and it was to good not to post - Kevin at the sand dunes. 

Fun at the Colorado House

This is Kennedy Kay she is so funny! I love to hear her talk. One of my favorite lines is, "Neber Neber, Neber do dat. and Neber Neber Neber say dat." And she tells the girls, "No Holla"

Liv refused to walk down the road the right way so I finally had to intervene. 

Gigi loves her girls. 

Oops! KK stepped in the mud..well it might not of been an accident.?

Liv loved the walk and finding things on the side of the road. 

Our little cabin in the woods. 

Gigi and Kennedy at the waterfall

We tried to put the girls up on the logs but Liv started fussing and KK was trying to get her to stop.

Kennedy was working on the tree

Liv had to try some of the snow. Of course. Everything still goes in her mouth. 

Sand Dunes and Waterfall

THE GREAT SAND DUNES

(tallest in North America)

There she goes!

That's Kevin and Ben way out there. 

Heading to the sand dunes we saw some beautiful scenery. 

We also visited a waterfall.  Kevin & Ben were helping the little ones since it was slippery

The waterfall was frozen.  Ella wanted to climb to the top...

Kevin did climb pretty high and slid down.

 

Please Pray for my family

If you are reading this please say a prayer for us! We are being attacked right now with some sickness. Today I spent 4+ hours at the urgent care clinic with the girls. Ella has an ear infection and Liv has a touch of pneumonia. They are on antibiotics and other meds to help them feel better. We are supposed to leave in the morning for Colorado for the 2nd half of our trip so pray that the girls will feel good and have good attitudes. 

Also, I still haven't fully recovered from my kidney infection and although I am feeling tons better this is a faster pace than I am used to and so far the last 2 nights one of the girls has cried almost the whole night = not much sleep. 

Kevin is trying to keep our spirits up and reminding us to have fun...this is vacation!!! So here we go on our adventure.  

Our Family

We are so glad to see our family! The girls haven't felt their best they both have a cold but they are so glad to see everyone! This is my mom (mimi) holding her ella.

This is our adventure to the farm. Ella got new pink cowgirl boots from Stephen and Michal and got to pet the cow, horse, dogs and cat. She loved every minute of it. 

This is my dad taking Ella on a 4 wheeler ride!

This is liv's late night dancing at the Harris's she shook it a little.
