Here We Go

Isaac went off to his first day of kindergarten yesterday- this day came SO quick! We are so excited for him!

Disaster Camping

Last weekend we went camping- Matt and I decided our little overnight adventure could be ruled a disaster! Maybe when all the kids are older we will have more success... and actually enjoy ourselves.

Here we are in the car when we first got to our campsite waiting for the rain to let up... We ate dinner in the tent while it rained. Miles entertained us by making funny faces with his travel chair lid...
Toasting marshmallows with Pop...

Sitting in camping chairs- very important part of camping...

Snuggling in sleeping bags before eventually (FINALLY) falling asleep...

Recent Handiwork

After living in our house for five years we are slowly getting around to finishing some things we never did when it was built. We recently tiled the backsplash in most of our kitchen and finally installed pulls on our upper cabinets. We finally know better than to vow that we will never tile again (we have said this after the last eight tiling projects), especially since there is a strip of backsplash above the sink that still needs tile. :( I love the way it turned out!

Yip-i-yi-yay

One of our favorite things to do in Durango is dinner at the Bar D Chuckwagon. We got to go a couple of weeks ago, and the kids can't stop talking about it. They sing "Ghostriders in the Sky" everywhere we go, and have been dressing up as "Bar D-ers" as Delia puts it. What do you think? They look pretty good to me...

Miles at 8-11 months

Yup, I'm terribly behind at posting. Since Miles is about to turn turn I thought I'd fill everyone in on the last several months. Miles is crawling fast and eating everything. He LOVES playing with his big brother and sister, swinging, spinning, snuggling, going fast in the stroller, and kittens.
Here he is at eight months...

Nine months...

Ten months...
And eleven months...

Bubble Beards

Bath time bubble fun at the Bong house. The kids are getting too big to all fit in the tub at the same time, but they sure have a good time!

Cousins

We've been having fun this summer with a lot of my extended family in town visiting. The kids got to play with my cousins' kids (that makes them their second cousins? Cousins once removed? I can never remember...) and we got to do some touristy things in Durango that we don't do very often - so fun! As usual I hardly took any pictures, but I did manage to get a couple of Isaac with his "new best friend cousins!" Hope you all come back to visit soon!
