Monster BASH

We partied in style for TREKKER Blue's 3rd BIRTHDAY (which is acutally not until the 28th of April). Here's how it went:

We had a faux photo Monster Bash PHOTO BOOTH with monster smiles for everyone:

Skye made an AMAZING, delicious Monster Cake and we munched on voracious veggies, freaky fruit, and scary sandwiches:

Grandpa gave pony rides to all the kids and let Trek ride in the front every ride:

Cooper serenaded Trek with Happy Birthday on the UKULELE:

 Trek got lots of fun gifts that we've he's been playing with like crazy:

IT was a HIT! THANKS to everyone!!

Brothers for Life

While doing chores this morning I heard Trek and Canyon talking:

Canyon: "Hello, my name is Humpty Alexander Dumpty."
Trek: "Hello, my name is Puss in Boots."
Both boys as they extend their hands for a greeting, "Brothers for life."

Our new favorite movie is Puss in Boots. I smiled and carried on. As they ran around searching for magic beans and sword fighting I felt proud and happy that they're such good friends.

A few minutes later Trek came running out of his room: "Mama, mama, I broke my room."

Walking in I see his curtain and rod ripped from the wall.

Me: "Trek... what were you doing?"
Trek: "I Puss in Boots, I SWINGING!!!!!"

Canyon was authoritatively watching as I scolded Trek and taught him that Puss can't swing from the curtains in our house. After making sure there were no injuries I placed him in time out... Canyon sat near by to console him. Trek gulped down some tears. I sat quietly around the corner to enforce my punishment and listen to their conversation. As Trek told Canyon what happened he could no longer hold back his tears.
Trek: "Brother, I not Puss in Boots anymore. I can't swing."
Canyon: "We can still be brothers for life."

It was a windy, chilly day and a few of us under-the-weather...

But we managed to hike to a tiny waterfall (we were hoping for more):

Found an almost dried up lake:

Searched the clouds for dinosaurs, kissing faces and trains:

And spotted a bald eagle (actually 2!):

So, as it turns out our windy, chilly, under-the-weather day turned out pretty good after all.
