water world and speeding tickets

A couple of weeks ago I went to water world for the first time with a couple of friends. It was so much fun aside from the fact that I totally got peer pressured into going on some of the slides. We laughed so hard all day that my abs were sore for a week.
They have a ton of slides that have huge tubes that you can down in together. Well, the limit for each tube was either 5 kids or 3 adults but who really pays attention to the limits right? We shoved all 4 of us in the tube every time. This worked for most of the slides except for one. We actually beached ourselves. The slide kind of turns into a lazy river for awhile and we apparently exceeded the weight limit because we caused a huge back up. We couldn't stop laughing but the people behind us didn't think it was too funny.

I went to Denver with my friend Shannon to shop this week and right as we are getting into Denver her radar starts screaming and then we saw this little jerk...


We knew we really were going way over the speed limit so we weren't surprised that he caught us but I couldn't help but get my camera out and take some pictures. We were watching him in his car trying to decide if he was going to give us a warning or a ticket.


You can't really see the cop car in this picture but he's there and yes he was writing a ticket - jerk!


Shannon with the cop.
We were laughing so hard by the time he got back up to our car that the $97 ticket didn't sting so bad. Not the best way to start off the day but we had a blast!

Iowa and baby Bron

The train ride was a success! Seriously it was pretty cool - I think - I slept the whole time. 14 1/2 hours later...

I met Baby Bron
He is quite possibly the sweetest baby in the whole entire world! Besides pooping all over my mom (and I mean ALL OVER) he is the most perfect little angel ever.
Bron was born on the 23rd and Cael's birthday was on the 24th but since my sister was still in the hospital they decided to celebrate it on 25th which was great because I got to be there for it. My sisters boys are the cutest kids on the face of this earth. Every time Cael would open a present he would look at Hunter and say "Hunter, look what we got!". I could just kiss their little faces off. I love those boys!
Before we even lit the cake Cael was pulling out the candles and licking off the frosting. My kinda kid!

Cael got his very own leapster for his birthday and he kept saying "Look Immy (that's what he calls me). I playin' my leapster." and that is basically what these two did 1/3 of the day everyday. They would come downstairs and climb in bed with me every morning and play their leapsters . I could get used to that!



This might be inappropriate but I love it too much not to post. I told you they played it most of the day. Boys and their video games...


Sweet little peanut! I could sit and smell his little self all day!


My sister is the greatest mom ever! Doesn't she look incredible for just having a baby?!?



Sisterly love! I seriously love the heck out of her!


Waiting for my train to take me home.


Last hugs goodbye.
It's always so hard to leave these little farts!
14 1/2 hours later... Home!
