Fun With The Freestone's!!!

Boomer's sister and her family came out for Easter. They came on Wednesday and left on Sunday. We had such a GREAT time. Blaine served in New Mexico on his mission, so he was excited to get back and see his mission from 25 years earlier. We went to Santa Fe where he served for 6 months. He was so excited to show it to his family, it was fun to hear all the memories he had living there 25 years earlier.

We also rode the TRAM to the top of the mountain. It was fun going up this time, the snow is melted, so we were able to hike around the mountain and get some great pictures on the ski lift chairs. We actually saw 2 black bears coming back down the mountain, that was SOOOOOOO exciting!! We laughed, we ate and laughed some more. And of course there was a lot of golf involved for the boys. Here are some fun pictures of the weekend.

The buildings were beautiful, this gorgeous terracotta adobe style.

PICTURES!!! Mollie and Morgan

This is the St. Francis Cathedral, dedicated in 1886. Click Here if you want to read more about the history of the St. Francis Cathedral.

Fun statue. Joslyn and Luke both were trying to climb on the Grandma's lap, so they could see the book she was reading.

A cool Land Rover, someone turned into this vehicle.

In front of the Church.

We found a gorgeous garden that Joslyn and Luke loved to walk around.

This is me yelling "LUKE stay on the path, get on the path".....whatever, he thought it was funnier to run right through the garden.

Joslyn deep in thought

Our 16th Anniversary

We celebrated our 16th Anniversary today. We were able sneak away for a YUMMY, quiet dinner, yes quiet....no kids!!!! Happy Anniversary, Sweetie!!!

I'm Proud To Be An American!!

Joslyn LOVES this song, she wanted to watch on YouTube.....I love it because she SINGS along with it...I actually got it on video....She was eating a PopTart, so cute!!!

YEAH!! Joslyn Gets Her OWN Bed!!!

My girls have all gone through this stage of needing there own bed. Rylee was sleeping with Morgan in her Queen size bed, but then she decided she needed her OWN bed..so Boomer built her a sweet bed, click HERE. Now, Jos is sharing a bed with Morgan, but now needs her OWN bed. We didn't have space for a twin, so, I googled some plans to make a toddler bed. It was soooooooo fun to make. I went and got all the wood and my husband and I spent the afternoon, cutting, sanding, painting. Joslyn is now a proud of owner of her own little bed. YEAH!!!

Morgan is loving have her own bed after 6 years of sharing with sisters ;0)

I got it all primed and painted, but as Morgan would say, "I had to do my Ali touch to it". I sanded all the edges and stained them brown, to give it that, "OH, CUTE" look. It turned out FABULOUS!!!!

A closer look of the "Ali Touch"

My little helpers cleaning it off 

And the finished product. She is now sharing a room with her brother.

THE BROWN BEAR....the story: At the bottom of the post I am going to give you the site, so you can make your own bed. On this person's site, the finished product had a brown bear on the bed. So, my daughter was SURE she HAD to have a BROWN BEAR on the bed.  So, funny. Thank goodness we owned a brown bear, and it sits proudly on the bed!!!

And now Joslyn has moved in..look close I think you can still see the bed :0)

Oh, the details. The funniest thing was when she was organizing all of her critters, she kept saying to herself, "It just needs something else", seriously, I think your good!!!

And the finished product being used!! AAAHHHH!!!! I am so proud!!!

(notice the kitty's at the end of the bed have been turned around to watch her sleep. She does that every night!!
