Abandon Ship!

So we spent the 4th of July in Vallacito, CO (close to Durango, CO) at Landon's familys cabin. It is always such a party when we go there! We love it and some of our bestest memories are there. We had SUCH a blast and by the pics you might be able to tell what we did the WHOLE time there..... fish. We occasionally ate (thanks Grandma Jayne and Terisha) and rode 4 wheelers, but the majority of the time we fished our little hearts out.



The first day we were there we rented a pontoon boat and hit the glassy lake. For some reason i think that sunscreen is over rated....I am still peeling and look like i have leprosy (how about you Meg?)


The best was when my little nephew was driving the boat with his dad, Stanton (Landon's brother). He is OBSESSED with pirates. All of a sudden he is yelling "ABANDON SHIP." Well crap... that water is seriously cold. Needless to say, we are all ok and the ship made it safely back to shore without getting in the crazy cold water. We love you Brock!


Little Claudia is so cute. She is such a little daredevil and will try just about everything. What a cutie. When Uncle Landon, Papa Gregg, Stanton, and I returned from some serious fishing at the creek (which we caught a fish withing 5 seconds every time we put the line in the water... seriously) she wanted to pose with the fish. She would just barely hold the stick with 2 tiny little fingers and just giggle. Little precious.




I love this pic of Landon and his dad...

And last of all.... the casa. I can't believe how fast it is all coming together! We went yesterday and they are getting ready to stucco and inside they are done texturing the walls and getting ready for trim, doors, and paint! It all looks so great and i am getting a little anxious! We are taking donations... we will leave a jar on our front porch. jk!

Hee hee...abandon ship...what a silly. Kids are so funny. What's no joke is how cute the bows you sent me are. I LOVE them! You and Lauren spoiled me. Thank you thank you! Isn't it funny that you had to question whether or not I'd be into bows? Yes yes, I've finally embraced my inner girlyness now that I have a mini me. :) She's a pink bomb. Love it.
