Madster's still not sure about the up & down carousel animals...she prefers to keep her feet firmly on the ground, as usual :)

princess fi LOVES the carousel

lib's looking a little different these days...not a baby anymore!

if i have to stand here for another picture, i might just scream -she says through clenched teeth- this is an incredible feat for me, standing in one place. unless we're talking hide n seek. i am queen of hide n seek....

galway's littlest power forward

i'm cute & i know it

an odd couple...one sister too big for the trike & one sister too small. Having fun nevertheless 

08.12.05...look @ all those candles! 

1st day of 2nd grade!! 

what can I climb on next? Yes, she did attempt the scaffolding in the background lol! 

brrr that fresh Colorado mountain water brrrrrr 

Lib tried but she just didn't have the patience to sit still

one even ran up over Snick's back...silly chipmunks

life is good 

I can almost get over my squirrel phobia after being @ St Elmo's...those Boulder squirrels were so aggressive...freaky things. Obviously Madst has no problems w/ the critters climbing on her leg. She would've brought one home if she could have!

will that color ever wash out of her hair??? 

can he possibly stuff another seed in those cheeks???? 

feeding ground squirrels & chipmunks @ St. Elmo's -approx. 30 mins west of Buena Vista

she may be 17 but she will always be my baby 

Week in Bachelor Gulch...the Ritz-Carlton in the center...we stayed @ a condo to the front right of the hotel but were able to enjoy the hotel ammenities

Lib didn't want to get any closer to the horses...she wouldn't even try sitting on one

Snick on Gypsy @ Bearcat Stables in Edwards, CO. She had no problems w/ her horse. I was on Rosie, but I was also holding the camera.

The Madster on Lily @ the start of a one & a half hour trail ride. She was a natural in the saddle.

as happy as is humanly possible...first time on a real horse
