Well, I am a big procrastinator, so this past weekend I have been working on the flowergirl dress for Kyla. I am pleased with how it turned out and it fits her. She is so excited to wear her wedding dress (flowergirl) this coming weekend!

I thought I would add a picture of the dress to the blog. Mostly to tease Amber!!!

Dana at Old Red Barn Co. is having a quilt giveaway. Check it out, it is so beautiful and I can’t believe she is giving it away!

We went on a camping trip for the fourth weekend. First time we have been camping with kids! It was an interesting trip, as none of the plans that we started with actually happened.
We left Thursday night, and our plan was to drive to a 4×4 trail up by Camp Hale and set up camp. Well we got a little bit later start than planned and the traffic going out of Denver was terrible (as always). So, we drove to Shrine Pass at the top of the Summit past Copper Mountain. We camped there for the night and were going to drive to the 4×4 trail in the morning. We decided to not set up our tent and fold down all our seats and sleep in the back of our Cruiser! Kyla takes up so much room for being such a little thing, but it wasn’t too bad.
The picture below is the view that we had from the spot we camped at off of Shrine Pass.

Well, morning came and our friends wife was not feeling well, so he drove her back to I-70 for her mother to come pick her up. We were eating breakfast and packing up to head to our trail and our friends son started to not feel well. They decided to just head back home as wheeling would not be the best thing on a sick stomach.
We were very excited to be taking out the newly lifted Cruiser for the first time on a trail, so we didn’t want to head home, but we didn’t want to run this challenging trail on our own. Our friends Amber and Brian were with us, but they were in Zane’s truck.
We decided to check out a trail(Wheeler Lake) on Hoosier Pass outside of Breckenridge. It is probably our most favorite trail from when we had our Wrangler. We made it past the first two hard obstacles and then turned around as people who were coming down said that there was too much snow to make it to the lake and we would have to hike the last little bit. And there was also 20 vehicles up there. We drove down and Zane did the obstacles a couple more times. The first obstacle my heart dropped to my knees, because the front passenger tire came up really really high and did not look good. If I can figure out how to get video on here I will post a video of it.
We then drove to Deckers. The Forest had been reopened after being closed for 5 years due to the Hayman Fire. Before the Hayman Fire we had set up a really nice camping spot and would run the two 4×4 trails in the area. Well, our camp was torched and the trails were closed.

We made a new camping spot, which I must say turned out very nice! However, the 4×4 trails were not opened.

Kyla enjoyed playing in the dirt and we had fun hanging out and enjoying not being in the city.

We have had our LandCruiser for a year now and Zane has finally been able to put a lift on it. (We finally sold the Acura, only took a year for it to sell.)
Zane came down with Shingles at the beginning of June and during this time he chose to spend his time in the garage working on the Cruiser. He figured that if he was going to be in pain he might as well do something other than lay on the couch and dwell about it. He wasn’t allowed to hold Barrett, and he tried to keep his distance from Kyla. Luckily neither one of our kiddo’s came down with chicken pox. Whew! And Zane is feeling much much better.

So, here are pictures of the Cruiser before during and after the lift!

I finally put a post on my Photography Blog. I would like to try and post a photo a day, don’t know if that will happen though. Anyway, check it out. The link is http://tameraeagarphotography.blogspot.com/

We went to a friends to go swimming yesterday! It was so hot and so nice to be in the pool. This is the first time Barrett has been swimming and he wasn’t too sure at first. But he adjusted quickly. Amber held him most of the time and he enjoyed playing with the strings that tied at her neck on her swimsuit. She later passed him to me and I think he was a little upset that I didn’t have strings for him to play with. I really wanted to get a picture of him before he fell asleep. He must have been really tuckered out from the water because he took a long nap before dinner.

When we first got in the pool Kyla would not let go of me. I mean she had her arms wrapped around my neck and her legs wrapped around my torso. She did really enjoying the hot tub. She wasn’t to into the pool until Zane arrived.

Every Wednesday throughout the summer, Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center has a free outdoor movie. The movie begins at dusk, but they have activities before the movie for the children. We take our chairs and blankets. This past Wednesday we went and they had a blow up slide for the kids. The movie showing was Surf’s Up!

We usually head to Coldstone for a treat before the movie, but this time Kyla and I went to Starbucks for Hot Chocolate. Starbucks makes a kid temperature hot chocolate and Kyla loves her hot chocolate.

I needed to run a few errands today so I asked Kyla to get some shoes on. She loves shoes. Everyday she picks out a different pair to wear. We keep a basket by the front door just for her shoes, but they still seem to end up everywhere. Well, this is what she told me she wanted to wear today. Did I mention she Loves shoes!

Kyla wanted me to take a picture of her and barrett this morning. Barrett’s hair cracks me up in this picture!

Speaking of shoes. Barrett was laying on the floor today and I noticed he had rolled over and was eyeing Kyla’s little dress up shoes. I figured they were far enough away that he wouldn’t get them. Well I went to help Kyla and when I turned around this is what I found Barrett doing. Kyla was not happy about it.

I believe I skipped Month 4! Go figure, I meant to take his picture after we had returned from Arizona.
I was able to get Month 5 in his onesie and I also took other pictures. I am starting a Photography Blog, so I will just post one here and more on there.

I am posting the previous Months pictures for comparison.

Well, I thought I would share the header that I made for Alisa.
