Bridal Shower

May 2014 - Sacramento

I have billions of other pictures, but this is a good sum up of the trip to Sacramento, 7 kids, 7 years old and under!  Crazy/fun trip.

Make over

Okay not a real make-over, but I got a haircut and color.  Cut off at least 8 inches, had a fun time with Deanne!

Sacramento 2014

A great picture Michelle took of Claire when we visited Sacramento in May, 2014.

Babysat

Claire was babysat A LOT this summer.  She learned how to love others and not scream for mommy every time I left her side.  Stranger danger also subsided.  Here's a picture of her at Auntie Dede's house one of the days, we had LOTS of helpers, so grateful!

4th of July

1. Super cool that we were able to go out our door and watch fireworks with the kids without having to go to a show for them!
2. BBQ with our wonderful neighbors
3. Sister watched claire for me all day, since Rob was working
4. Awesome husband sold a house at work today, which make it feel totally worth him working on the holiday.
5. I could keep going, but am grateful to live in the USA where all these little things that happened to me today are even possible!

August 2014

How are we already to August?  The kids start school next Monday (Breanna - 2nd grade) and Ethan (Kindergarten).  I'm very excited about it actually.  Having 2 in school will be great, 2 at home, I won't feel so outnumbered.

We've had a relatively good summer and hopefully the kids will remember the fun things that we did and not the boring days (you know that has to happen too).

This summer we have:

- Had Friday summer day camp with Grammy and Grampy
-Went to Winter park for a family reunion.  Got to swim, hike, play games, family talent show, play some more.
- Went to the North Pole
- Swam at several pools
- Had LOTS AND LOTS of thunderstorms, lightning, rain and hail!
-Drove up to the top of the continental divide with their dad

- Celebrated Deanne getting married with a bridal shower

-Put pennies on the train tracks

Dressed up as superheroes

 Played with cousins

 Went fishing

 Flashback to Easter Sunday with my family.....

 Fast forward to Auntie Shell visiting Colorado, we miss her so much when she's gone!

There's plenty more, this is just a tiny bit of the summer.
