June 2009 Pictures!

June went by very fast. We started with Kylie's birthday on June 7. She had her birthday party the day before and it was a lot of fun. Both kids got bikes the day after and we have been going to the park a lot to teach them how to ride them. So far Austin is the speedy one and has no fear of crashing. Kylie is catching on, but takes it much slower. We had a lot of rain in June too, with several severe storms and funnel clouds. It was fun to see all the storms. Because of all that water, all Denver is very green and beautiful. So we have been enjoying the outdoors and our backyard quite a bit. Just yesterday we got to go to Red Rocks again to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform. It was great. The weather was perfect and the views were beautiful. The place was packed. Even President Monson attended. Nobody was expecting that. We will be back at Red Rocks in August for another concert. In July, we will start by going to Utah for a few days, so we will have lots of pictures from that trip next month.

Kylie's Birthday Party!

This morning we had Kylie's birthday party at home. She invited her favorite friends and they had a lot of fun playing games and running around. Kylie got a lot of fun presents. She is turning 5 on Sunday, June 7.

May 2009 Pictures!

May was a fun month. Spring is in full swing here in Colorado. Luckily, we have been getting more rain than normal, and things are very green. It is very nice to see all the trees, flowers and grass back! Ariel got to travel quite a bit in May. One of those trips included some fun golf at Half Moon Bay, CA. We didn't take a lot of pictures in May because by the time we remembered to do so, it was too late in the month. The kids have been having a lot of fun playing outside and going to the park. Austin finished school a couple weeks ago. Kylie will be turning 5 this coming weekend and will have friend over for cake and games. Later in the month, we will be headed to Utah to celebrate the 4th of July. So we will have lots of pictures for the month of June.

April 2009 Pictures!

April was an interesting month. We enjoyed conference and Easter during the first 2 weeks of the month. After that, right when it was starting to get warm, winter decided to catch up and dump all the snow that had not fallen in the months before. We had 2 big storms. The second one left about 18 inches on the ground. The kids loved it. They got to play and build some snowmen. JoLynn got to do some more snow sculptures too. The good thing about the snow is that it was melted within 48 hrs and made everything very green. We are now enjoying that. We also found out that the kids like pets. So we caught some flies and worms for them and they loved it. They don't last, but they are free. May usually brings great weather to Colorado, so we are looking forward to enjoying some of that. Kylie can't wait until June, when she turns 5!

March 2009 Pictures!

March was a fun month. We started with Austin's 3rd birthday. We had a lot of fun with it. He is into volcanos and dinosaurs, so his cake had a volcano theme and he got a dinosaur as a gift. He got others later too. The day he turned 3, he also started pre-school. He seems to be enjoying it. Kylie will join him in the same building when she starts kindergarten in August. March was also very dry here in Denver, until the blizzard we had on March 27th. That one dropped a foot of snow with a lot of wind. Two days later we got another 5 inches. Right now we are getting some more snow and we are suppossed to have another strong storm this Saturday. So winter is not over yet. We look forward to general conference in April as well as Easter and warmer weather.

February 2009 Pictures!

No much happened in February. This month tends to be a dry and cold one here in Denver. This one was no exception. We actually had the driest February on record in Denver. So, maybe we will get burried in snow in March, which is typically the snowiest month. In the meanwhile, we have been enjoying 60s and even a couple of 70s days. Ariel got to go to his annual snowmobiling trip with work and, as always, it was a blast. Austin has been working on this potty skills. Kylie is always in the middle of that helping. Austin is turning 3 on March 4 and starting pre-school that same day. Kylie will have to wait until August to start school. So March will be an exciting month here with lots going on and hopefully some snow.

January 2009 Pictures!

After having a fun New Year day, we started a cold January. There were a couple of days when we were well into the negatives and had no choice but to stay inside. We did, however, have a few days of warmer than average temperatures. During some of those days, we were in the 60s and even close to 70s. Those were the days we took the kids to the park and played bubbles, etc. Other than that, we are all awaiting spring here in Denver when things get greener and we are able to enjoy the outdoors. Austin will be turning 3 next month and he is ready to go to pre-school. Kylie was also registered for school and she will be starting in August.
