Golf and go-carts!

Gavin and Trevor have been asking to play miniture golf recently. We met up with uncle David and Amy in north Boulder one Sunday morning. We played a fierce round of golf. The boys insist that highest score wins. So, they won. The rest of us were within points of each other. Uncle David makes sure to do a water shot for the boys so he has to fish the ball out-which they then talk about for days!

After a round of golf the boys took Amy and David on the go-carts. They had a blast!

May visit to California!

In late May we flew to California to visit Joel's parents. We stayed in Bakersfield for a few days then drove to the coast to see the ocean (and the end of the continent as I told Gavin - he has been learning about the continents at school!). 

It was a little cool but we still had fun playing in the sand, hunting for shells and running up to the waters edge. One evening we went down to Morro Bay and went on a short hike to overlook "The Rock!" The kids enjoyed it and had fun finding eucalyptus nuts/seeds on the path - which we brought a handful home! When we were in Bako - the kids rode bikes and had fun playing by the pool. 

And back we are!

Trevor's first time in winter gear!

Mother's Day was a memory maker thanks to Trevor and daddy. Before naptime daddy got T in his winter gear. Up to this point he would only wear his Captain Amreica jacket, sweat pants and boots. Daddy told him if he wanted to go build a snowman he needed to dress properly. Well he did. Boots, snow pants, ski jacket, gloves and hat. Go T-dog!  Daddy sent us a few photos while we were painting. How exciting. 

Snow day in May!

Yes, the snow continued overnight from Mother's Day so we got to enjoy one last winter adventure. Daddy successfully got Trevor into full winter gear for the first time EVER the day before. After lugging everything back up from the basement of course! At 7:30 in the morning we dressed for winter and went to the neighborhood park - and their mini sledding hill. Since it was Monday all the big kids were at school and we had the place to ourselves! We had a blast. Gavin probably did about 40 runs. Trevor took a few then was lured away by snow covered swings and slides! Gavin later joined us for a few fast runs down the slide! A great end to our winter season. 

Mother's Day!

I taught two painting classes on Mother's Day. We were headed out of town later that week so why not! I took grandma Joyce and Gavin. Joel was home w Trevor for naptime. And in true Colorado fashion... It was snowing! I was scheduled to teach poppies and told Gavin he could paint whatever he wanted. He insisted on following along w the class! The class enjoyed his take on things and running commentary! We had fun and yes, I did help Gavin a little but overall he watched and followed along!

Soccer - season 3

This is Gavin's third season of playing soccer. He and the other 4 and 5 year olds are getting the hang of giving each other a little more space and not always being in a soccer scrum. Trevor gave it a try too with the tiny tots team. He's not quite ready to leave moms side though. He did just turn 3!

Biker dude

On one of our adventure Mondays, Gavin accompanied me on a trip to Boulder. We ran our errands and ended with a visit to the Valmont Bike Park. Friends told us about it so we had to check it out     Dirt paths with hills, turns, sand pits and more. I had a hard time getting Gavin back to the car! I didn't bring a bike so I got to chase behind on foot!
