Breckenridge

We went up to Breckenridge a few weeks ago with our dear family friends, Team Post, as they call themselves. It was gorgeous!!! Someday we hope to own a home up there. The mountains are absolutely beautiful... and there is a lake to water ski on as well. Here is a picture of Team Post and Daniels & CO.

We took the kids to a local elementary school playground. Madax, Emma, Beckett and Baby Reece had such a great time playing.

Madax just LOVES Emma! She is his favorite person (aside from maybe Cindy Lou or the Grinch)!

Mommy and Beckett. It's funny, but I'm sure many of you can relate... I hardly have ANY pictures of myself with my boys. I'm usually the cameraman!

Madax is a poser!

I can't tell which one is the kid... the big one

This is just a tiny glimpse of how amazingly beautiful Breckenridge is.

Our little wanderer... Beckett is so adventurous. He doesn't want to be held, or even hold your hand. He is so independent and wants to do his own thing at, pretty much, all times! And while this can be exhausting at times, it is so fun to watch him explore on his own. At the playground, he just kept wandering off and playing by himself. He would look at me, then get a grin on his face and turn around and run the other direction. Little stinker!

Against our better judgement, we attempted hiking with the Posts. It was beautiful and, don't get me wrong, we LOVE to hike... but an independent 1 year old who doesn't like to be carried (or guided for that matter) and a 35-pound 3 year old who won't walk over the rocks on his own, don't exactly make for good hiking companions. The Post girls rode patiently and sweetly in thier backpacks as we tried to avert tantrums left and right. Eventually, we headed back down the mountain to the car. Sorry Team Post! You'll have to give us a year or two on the hiking!

Madax: Happy Camper (hiker, really).... at the beginning of the hike. ;)

Nice and Cute!.... Beckett fighting the backpack idea.

Madax loves to play "Bombs Away!", a game that Grandma and Randi taught him up at the cabin in Idaho.

Making homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup... yummy!

Beckett is grinning most of the time! (Although, usually not when I snap the camera)... funny how that works, right?

Group bath!

Hmmm.... Rebecca's yummy cookies!

The kids all loved the Jacuzzi..... except Madax, who was terrified of the bubbles.
