Castlewood Canyon State Park

We took the boys on their first REAL hike on Saturday. Turns out...they loved it. Jack does NOT want any help of any kind. Everytime he falls down he's says, "okay"...meaning...I'm okay. He's so cute. Tristan loves "the mountains." Love spending time with my boys.



What little hiking studs.

The hills are alive with the sound of Tristan.



My three favorite guys. Ahhh.

T-bone turns 4.

My baby is four. I can't believe it. It seems like only yesterday I could hold him like a football. Now he tells me to be quiet because he can't hear his show. Some things I love about Tristan;
--his cheeseball faces he pulls at the camera
--how he'll say, "I want to kiss the baby" and then kiss my tummy.
--sometimes he'll be sad and say, " I need a hug."
--how cute he is at soccer even though he has no clue what's going on.
--he calls breasts "pumps" (goes back to when he was younger and was trying to say "bumps") and now he'll say, "Mommy, the baby in your tummy is making your pumps get big". Thanks Tristan...I hadn't noticed.
--he loves life and doesn't want to miss a moment....which makes it hard for him to go to bed ...sigh

Here are a few pics of his birthday. We love you T-man.


Jack got a present too.





Blowing out candles.


Classic Tristan cheesy face.

Third time's a charm.

It seems like the only cool thing about pregnancy is finding out the sex of the baby. That being said, we are proud to announce that we are having a little girl. I'm so excited for Tristan and Jack to have a little sister and I'm so excited to have a little friend. I was starting to feel outnumbered. I've promised Will that I wouldn't go insane with online shopping. I've only ordered one thing so far. (But then it's only been 3 days....Ha) Hopefully the next 19 weeks will go by quickly...yeah right.

The Gardens

We have been in Denver for a couple of weeks now and it has been great. My sister and her family came out for a week and we went to a Rockies game and the 16th street mall and the Botanical Gardens. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately we only remembered our camera for the Gardens.....which you can't even see in the picture. Ha. The kids from left to right (Tristan, Jack, Jake, Isabel, India and Olivia)



Here's a pic of Jack and I at a restaurant. Ahhh...what a cute monkey.

Denver or BUST

We are so excited to be starting the next chapter. We are officially heading out on Saturday but since I know the next few days will be crazy I'm posting this now. I've met some super cool people in Tucson that I will dearly miss. But I will not miss the heat. I'm not cut out for it.

Next post from Denver!! Wahoo!!!

All time LOW

Tonight we reached a real low point of Friday nights at the Bireley house. I was exhausted. Will had just gotten off a 30 hours shift at the hospital. We had two Netflix waiting to be watched. Well, Will didn't want to watch Bride Wars. He said it was a super-girly chick flick. And I didn't want to watch 7 lbs. after reading on the label that it was about a guy that was plotting his own suicide after his wife dies....so unable to come to any agreement on what to watch.... we sadly ended up watching America's Funniest Home Videos. We are THAT lame. Please don't judge us.

National Lampoons' Tucson Vacation

These are some pics from February when Lindsay and kids came down for a visit. They were supposed to stay for a week. This is what ACTUALLY happened.

Day one: 12 hours of driving (from Utah to Tucson)
Day two: Trip to the zoo, dinner, swimming.
Day three: all the kids come down with some sort of plague that involved massive vomiting, diarrhea and a midnight trip to the ER for baby India
Day four: 12 hour drive BACK to Utah with sick kids.

Here are some ZOO pics.
