September and such

 Our Family had put in for an auction at school, and WON a photo secession!!
LOVED the day, and the outfits worked perfectly!
This was after the photo shoot, the kids had earned a few silly faces!!


 RUN LUCY!! RUN!! This is a school fundraiser, as you can see, lucy has got quite the hustle!!
She ended up running the most laps in her class!! Way to go LUCE!!

 Just the boys, chillin, and check out that AMAZING face paint they got at a party! Some talent~

 Daddy daughter date to the Rockies game!! And, Hank, showing off is muscle at the playground.

If I left the library, came back in 1 hour, i could almost guess i would not be missed!! These kids LOVE to read!!

                                       Another great visit to the children's museum.

                       (this was charlies rocket, that went beyond the glass and all the 'planets'!!!)

 Regular checkups! Makes my heart break to think of how fast they grow! 100% on the vision check!

 Jeff assumes his regular position, while the kids huddle close to hear the bed time story!
They (including Jeff) have come to love this tradition, and I could not be happier.

 Lucy and Charlie had planned to put on a "Show" for us. It was basically music and dancing, performed by these two, and kept the audience (Hank and I) laughing the entire time!!!
(This sign was written over a year ago, Lucy was in kindergarten, and it has hung on the door since then)

The excited audience, who was very pleased with the show, and the after program snacks!! 

August!!

 August was an event filled month!!
We started out with a very wet camping trip, with G&G Sanders to Steam Boat Spring.
We brought bikes which we used alot, and also enjoyed swimming, hiking and of course evening camp fires with smores!!

 

 A beautiful and easy hike up to the waterfall , which was explored by Jeff and the kids

 This butterfly loved Charlie and our waterbottle!
 It even stuck around for so long, we named him BOB.

The Steam Boat Slides! What is it about these that the excitement is just as real when you were a kid?
Love the ride! 

 This picture nearly got us kicked out of the shop. Turnes out those hats, retail  over $800.00!!!!!

Back in town for school to start! Sure wish my babies would NEVER grow up! 

 WEDDING OF A LIFE TIME!! So, I have just one brother, happens to be my favorite one, and he got MARRIED!!
OH GOSH, were we thrilled to welcome and celebrate with him and his new BEAUTIFUL bride, Lindsay!!!
We had an amazing few days, shed a few tears, but mostly just so happy for the beautiful couple!!!

 ALL THE GRAND KIDS FROM THE SLOAN SIDE

And, all the siblings!! Audrey (2), Abe (3), Jackie (4) and Jenny (1).

 IS this not the cutest family in America?!?!? I just love my people!!!
