Butch Cassidy Festival

This year we went to the Butch Cassidy Festival bright and early.  We got to do everything without waiting....it was the best plan ever!  Listening to the weather forecast and dressing the kids in summer clothes was not such a great plan, but oh well.  

First off, driving a tractor!  Milan loved this and got her very own license at the end. 

 The money hunt! They dumped $100 worth of coins into the hay and let the kids loose...it was definitely harder than you would think, but the kids had a great time!

 Cora LOVED this part! 

 Milan got to go on stage for the "lasso-loping" show.  Milan and Eden both got new "lasso-lopes" and played with them for a couple of days.

Fort Collins Farm

We decided to kick summer off with a bang so we headed to a fun little farm in Fort Collins that I had wanted to check out.  Dave was busy studying for the DAT so we invited Dani and Leila to come play with us.  

First, we walked around and checked out all the animals.  

Then.....the girls discovered the pony rides and they were so excited!  Milan watches Horseland and considers herself to be a horse expert.  Since I informed her she would not be getting a horse for her birthday, this was the next best thing.   

 Eden was a little nervous at first, then got used to the horse's "bumps" and liked riding.

 Cora played in the dirt most of the time, then found the perfect slide.  She was FILTHY and happy :)

Afterwards, we walked around downtown Fort Collins and got treats for dinner.  The weather was beautiful and it was the perfect day.  

Milan's Field Day

After our whirlwind trip to Portland, we came back for Milan's last days of kindergarten.  Eden, Cora, and I tagged along to the field day at the park.  I was so glad that we did because it was a blast to watch!  

 Milan's first time successfully hula-hooping!!

Denny and Jessica's Wedding

Denny and Jessica's wedding was beautiful and fun to be a part of.  Milan and Eden absolutely LOVED wearing pretty dresses, fancy high heeled shoes, and feeling important.   

I knew Milan would be a natural at her flower girl job and she did great!

Eden did great too and I was so so proud to see her coming down the aisle with a shy little smile.

Cora was content to sit for a couple of minutes, then she and Dave hung out in the back with the other toddlers :)

The girls certainly loved the wedding, but the dancing was even better!  They were the first ones out on the dance floor and rocked it the entire night!

Milan had this crazy head spinning thing that she loved to do 

 When they  got too tired for dancing, they just snuggled daddy and kept on going!

Rehearsal Dinner and a New Friend

Jessica's parents had a wonderful rehearsal dinner at their home.  The girl's night started off great when Jessica offered them some flower girl gifts.  They loved their coloring books and cute bracelets!

The night only got better when they found a new friend.  They hit it off with the other flower girl, Abby.  Here they are performing a little number!

Their moves are so great!

 Cute little Brynn joined in on the fun too.

 The night started to get really fun when they busted out Duck-Duck-Goose, chase, and tickle monster!  Dave and I just loved watching the girls running around squealing and giggling in their sleep-deprived mania.....it was my favorite part of the whole trip.

Besties! 

 My new sister!  We are so excited to have Jessica join our crazy family!
