Cody singing

This is Cody auditioning for American Idol, singing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." ha...ha...ha

An outting to the Albuquerque Zoo & Aquarium

Last weekend we took the kids & my little sister, Andie to the zoo and aquarium. We had a great time watching Cody get so excited to see all of the animals.
Here is Ashley cruisin' in the stroller.
Andie, Cody and me posing for a shot.
Cody & Andie on the train ride. Cody loves Thomas the train, so he was so excited to ride the choo choo train even though it wasn't all that exciting.

The Stimson Kiddos

How Cody loves the camera.........

And miss Ashley, well she is not so sure of the camera yet.

Ashley is starting to get a little personality and we finally got a picture of her smiling. Isn't she so cute?!?!
And here is Cody who loves to wear everybody's shoes besides his own. Oh, and of course we all know he is cute too!

Work picnic

Here are some pictures of the fam at my mom's work picnic. There were slides & jumpers for the kids, food, music and fun!

This is Cody in the jumper........we couldn't get him out, he loved it!

Now this is the way to slide down a slide......spread eagle, so you don't move at all!!

ha..ha..he is too funny:)

Cody and Kenny waiting in a line (again) for the jumper

Me and Ashley chillin' just listening to the band. She's getting so big too fast!

A Lake Trip Alone........

Me and Kenny finally got a break from parenthood and took a short weekend vacation to the lake with Kenny's boss. We had a blast and ended up extremely sore from the waterskiing and wakeboarding!!

Camping

We went camping for the first time since we had kids and we all had a blast!!! Here is Ashley on our trip.............what a trooper! She was 2 mos. on July 30th and is finally starting to grow into her body. She weighed in at a whopping 10.4 lbs and is so cute and chubby. What can I say, she follows in her mother's footsteps and lovest to EAT!

This is a lean-to that Kenny, my little brother Joe and Cody were building on the trip. They had a good time building it while us others just sat back , drank a few beers, and watched them hard at work. Ha...ha...ha

Cody loved playing with his fishing pole and wading in the stream looking for fish. He had a ball getting dirty and roasting marshmallows on the fire although most of them ended up on the ground in the dirt. Once the marshmallow would start on fire he would start hitting them on the ground until they were out and were either completely covered in dirt or flew off of the stick. That was more fun than eating them I guess. He is too funny! Unfortunately my camera battery died after the first few pictures that I took, so I only have these few to remember the experience :(

4th of July!!!!!

WOW....my eyes are popping out of my head!!!

Cody decided that it would be fun to remove the eyeballs that were on his bike helmet (which was a bumble bee) and attach them to his own face. Too funny!

Daddy & Ashley hanging out and relaxing.

Cody dressed in his 4th of July attire

Cody riding his motorcycle bike in the 4th of July parade. He loved it and did such a great job pedaling his way through all of the people! If you look closely you can see the eyeballs that were on the helmet, which no longer stick to the helmet since Cody temporarily attached them to his own face.
