Horsing around in the Colorado Mountains

First things first: Some of you were curious as to what the "Running Man" suit is...it is our mascot for the gym...he is making an appearance in our parade this saturday. Captain Running Man, he's so cool.

Here at our family reunion, we drove up to nearly the top of the mountains in Grand Junction, Colorado for a great horseback ride. Kya was in heaven and Zander is a natural. He just grabbed onto the reigns and knew what to do.

This first picture of the kids sleeping was on our way up the mountain, they hadn't even played today yet...we have been busy with late nights and full days, swimming, being in the hot sun in the desert and chasing kitties around the ranch. Both the kids LOVE being around all these animals; cats, dogs, a parrot, horses, cows...oh and we even found a horny toad.

Zander is such a loving little boy...he is always giving hugs and kisses.


What a goof!



This is my little Kya that get easily bothered by anything sticky, dirty, wet or "gross" on her hands...yes, she is covered in dirt. And SHE is the one that rubbed the dirt all over herself..."just because". I am so proud.
Awwww...more kisses from the charmer.






Kya even got to help Daddy brush the horses before riding...again, she was loving this.

Wow, Kya is so brave to ride all alone. She has gotten a lot bigger since we last saw her and she was barely potty training! We love Grand Junction. So pretty.

It was fun too bad it was like a bazillion degrees it would have been even better. Love you K.
