The Colorado Trip

Me my mom, Karson and Brinley took a trip over to Colorado Springs Colorado. We went to see my sister in law Rebecca. It is her husband (my brother) who is in Iraq right now. We went over to keep her company for a few days. We did some really fun stuff. We went to a pumkim patch, made cupcakes (which was Karsons favorite part), painted pumpkins, went to the park and played in the back yard. They also had so many fun toys to play with that my kids thought they were in a toy store. It was just so fun for us 3 girls and the kids to hang out. I also got to talk to my brother Randall over in Iraq on Skype. That was really cool. They have 2 kids Kate and Ian. Karson and Kate played so good together. They are 3 years apart so I was suprised at how well they played together. Ian and Brinely kind of did their own thing. In a year they will probably get along great.

Colorado Flight

On our trip to Colorado we got to fly on a plane. It was Karsons and Brinleys first time flying. Karson was so excited. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. He made sure he was on the window seat and looked out the window most of the time. I was also suprised how good Brinley did. I was so nervous about having her on my lap and having to stay there. Luckily the flight was not too long. I think if it was any longer we would have been in trouble. The one thing that drove me crazy was that you can have a child on your lap and not pay for a ticket up until the child is 2. Well this trip was this past weekend and Brinley turns 2 tomorrow. We got the worse looks and little snide comments from the airline workers who thought we were pulling a fast one on them. It was really anoying when people think you are lying. If I would have known I would have brought her birth certificate. I would have liked to prove them wrong. All in all it was a great trip and the kids did great on the plane.
