Happy Birthday Haylie!!!

This girl is so lovable! She has everyone wrapped around her finger. She loves to sing at the top of her lungs. She loves her baby dolls- she will put her baby in a 9x13 pan and cover the baby with towels. :) She colors on any paper close to her and many homework assignments have been beautified. She loves going over to Grandpa's house. She loves to "GO"! She sits on the couch and reads books out loud. She is constantly telling us what is on her mind- though we can't quite make out everything she's saying. She takes her vitamin "C" daily- at least 2 or 3... or 6 times! We all love this little spunky joy!

Melanie made vanilla cupcakes and decorated them for Haylie!

Opening presents!

Autumn decorated her lovely fort with the beautiful butterflies Gma and Gpa Thomas gave her!

Autumn also gave the lesson in YW's and made no-bake cookies for a treat! She has many talents!

Family Home Evening!

Falkes come to visit!

Russell, Melissa, Travis, Quinn and Patrick came to visit for the weekend!

We went sledding in Steamboat on Friday! It was SO FUN! Afterward we went out to Big House Burger. 

Haylie was a champ. She stayed at the bottom but got tossed around from person to person. She was just chill the whole time until she crashed on her dad's shoulder.

My riding buddy and I...

They have a contraption that takes you up the hill. All you do is sit in your tube and wa la your at the top. I could get used to this!

Porter took on the responsibility of feeding Haylie at the restaurant. It was so thoughtful and cute. 

The kids got Root Beer in a bottle. So fun!

Saturday we hung out and visited. In the evening Mike and Rowena came down. I made Zuppa Toscana and chili and we ate at Josh and Robyn's house. We visited till about 9:30 when they kids started to have melt downs. It was fun to visit and enjoy family!

The weekend and a sprained ankle

Those cheeks!

Corbin and Autumn tried selling stuff on the street. Not so successful... but a good learning experience!

 

I love this picture.

Melanie sprained her ankle before her game on Friday. She was practicing, stepped on a scooter and sprained it. It was very sad. I thought her choice of shirt was... perfection!

Free Range children...

 

Savery Museum with the family!

 

Biking the back road!

 The kids and I decided to ride our bikes from Dixon to Baggs!

It was a long process with everyone but Haylie riding their bike. Melanie ran/ walked the whole way! Autumn and Corbin were fast on their bikes, though Melanie kept up with them. Lydia stopped at each cattle guard and it was a lonnnng process. But hey, it wasn't a race and we had a good experience.

We stopped about halfway for lunch. These kids are goofy!

Haylie did really well! She napped and made noise to hear her voice wobble, so cute! She was a champ!

We are totally doing it again and hopefully Ben can come!

Helping with the corn harvest and stories with Great Grandma Workman

We went up to Burlington to help with the corn harvest.

On Sunday Gma Workman came to visit. Autumn started asking questions about her childhood so Gma started tell stories. The kids all gathered around to listen. It was a very sweet experience!

The oldest and youngest!
