Petting Zoos and Pony Rides

Lexi was a little nervous about the petting zoo at first, but the baby goats got some Lexi love. Both of them loved the pony rides. Lexi rode on AJ and Kendra got to ride on Michevious.

Kendra the Rodeo Queen and Bungee Jumper

We went to the Cripple Creek fair today and Kendra got to do the rodeo ride and bungee jump. Both had adults on them so she was pretty excited to FINALLY be big enough to ride. She stayed on FOREVER on the rodeo ride and flew above the butterflies on the bungee jump. It was a lot of fun!

It's Daddy Time

Hurry up and Wait...

We have learned pretty quickly that part of being in the military means you have to master the ability to Hurry up and Wait. Last week Dan gets home and tells me he needs all his gear from NTC cleaned tomorrow. Not a huge deal if you like pounding sand out of 30 pound vests and such and power-washing them with a hose after you try forever to figure out how they come apart and go back together... but it sucks when you work ALL day to get it done and here it is a week later... it is still sitting in the living room because he hasn't needed it yet. Well, days I want the car are no different. "Pick me up at 4 today" translation? "If you are here at 4:01 I will have gotten out at 3:30 and will be waiting in the parking lot." "If you get here at 3:45, my Sgt's wife will walk over from her car where she is waiting and tell you we will be late. Late Late. Not 10 minutes... It means rush here to get me but I won't get out until closer to 5:30...." Not a huge deal because in this boredom Kendra digs out the camera and goes crazy... haha some are pretty cute... ;)

All the girls

My kids LOVE the camera. Literally, one finds it and everyone piles around for picture time. Can't say I complain! haha So here are more Mommy & the girls pics! :)

G.I. Kendra

Kendra thought she would see what it is like to walk around in daddy's body armor... haha It was a LOT heavier than she expected! It might not look it, but the helmet alone was so heavy when Lexi tried it on she couldn't lift her head and it fell off onto her foot and THAT hurt! haha The vest? If you ask Kendra, the vest weighs so much you could get hit by a car and not feel it. :) haha Needless to say, by the time she got it off, she fell on the floor. So this little warrior was taken out by her body armor. :P

New month... New hair...

What started out as blonde highlights quickly became blonde hair with brown lowlights. lol but i like it :) I guess the girls could tell I wanted to do hair because they both let me do their hair too. :) No dye... but pig tails and braids worked! :)

All us girls...

Just us girls being girls.. lol
