Another Surgeon in the Family??

Darin got called into surgery while he and Savvy were on a date. To his surprise they let her in the OR to see it. She was elated and he was so excited to be able to share what he does with her. She doesn't get freaked out at all . She is fascinated with it. I am not sure I could handle it the way she does.

Super Fun Trip to Durango

It's absolutely unacceptable I don't have any pics of our friends who hosted us on this awesome trip! For Labor Day we went to Durango with some of our friends here to visit their family who happens to be a long time childhood friend of mine. Small world! It was such a blast...

We can't wait to do it again.

John showed us the rock quarry, and I am not sure who was more enamored, the kids who got to drive everything with wheels in sight or the Dad's.

This is their backyard... Heaven...

The kids looked like "little churro" when we were done at the quarry.

First Day of School 2010-2011

So this isn't the first day of school picture, but apparently it's not super cool to take your kids picture in front of the school when they are in High School, especially when you are crying. The boys that come out of her school look like grown men. I am not sure what they are doing at the same school. I hate to let her grow up, but I have to say she just gets more and more fun! I try to see the fun and not the years slipping by.

I love that they match each other every day. They were all a little nervous but mostly excited to start a new school this year. I love that they are all there together. I drop them up and pick them up together. What could be better? We love, love, love their school and I thought I wouldn't like the uniforms, but I love it! I do love getting my kids dressed everyday, but it's also nice not to have to think about it...

What can I say? Our "little cupcake" off to preschool and she couldn't be happier about it, especially since she gets to go with her little cousin and best friend in the whole wide world, Claire. If Claire was the only one in the preschool it would be okay with her.

Papa's Father's Day Present

For years my Dad has wanted to take the boys fly fishing and it just didn't seem to happen. Jimmy and Darin gave him this gift for Father's Day. They had so much fun...Not sure if they caught anything or if it mattered...

The fishing trip was actually the beginning of the "Kindred Family" reunion at our cabin. It was so fun to see my cousins I hadn't seen in almost 20 years. Crazy! It was so fun to see what things we had in common. Hopefully those pics will be added at the end of this post.
