Mother's Day Weekend at the River

We drove out to the Colorado River for Mother's day weekend. It was so beautiful out there. The weather was perfect, high 80's. We had so much fun as a family playing in the water, making banana pancakes, watching movies, and giving CJ a haircut.


Miss B loves her glasses.  It is one of her many words.  It is funny hearing it come out of such a tiny little girl.  She is 17 months and has barely hit 19 pounds. 

CJ loves to play on the board and pretend like he is surfing.  Hopefully he will let us take him out again this summer.  Last year I think He was a little bit braver.

Baby sis loves playing in the water, splashing, and throwing rocks.

Surfer girls.

CJ doing his best impression of Pocahontas  singing "Just around the river bend."
Happy Mothers day to me.  I have the best kids in the world.  I love them soooooooo much!

I DON'T WANT A HAIRCUT!!!!!!!!
A few chocolate chips later...
The results.  Good job Daddy.  No more helmet hair.

Good job Johnny. The chocolate chips work on Chris too...I just give him a handful and he stops crying so that I can cut his hair.
