July 2015

We had a 4th of July party and it was fun to celebrate with friends and watch fireworks!

They love playing together

We finally got our basement done and they were so excited to play!

Grant fixes everything around our house with his tools

Sweet siblings

Griffin and Isaac at the pool

We spent many days at the pool

Reading together

The Stapleton Beer Festival is always a fun night!

Grace loves to paint her nails and Grant likes to watch so I can blow the hair dryer in their face

We were baking something and I found Grant had helped himself to the batter

Grant at PDO ... he did a great job at his first parent's day out experience

So much fun with friends camping!

They always end up on the cement to warm up

Best Buddies

This was taken at Tiny Town - the kids loved it!

Checking out the buildings

Pretty cute.  It was one of my last days off before going back to work 

Fun at the playground

Grace got to see all her MSS friends at a birthday party

Camping - July 2015

We had fun camping with friends at Lake Dillon in July 

 The kids loved playing by the lake!

 A rare adult picture ... Griffin was excited to be the photographer

 Levi, Eli, Cohen, Grace, Isaac, Griffin, Grant, and Stella - a miracle to get all of them to sit still for a picture! 

 Our family 

 Roasting marshmallows is always a favorite

 Grant went right to sleep on his first camping trip - he didn't seem to think it was odd at all to sleep outside in a tent! 

 All bundled up

 We didn't get the most sleep with all five of us in the same tent - Grant was pretty snuggly in the morning, which is quite rare! 

 A morning shot with friends

 All the guys 

 The kids couldn't get enough of the lake

One of my favorite pictures of Griffin  

Norris Lake - July 2015

We had a wonderful time with family at Norris Lake this summer!

 The jet ski is always a hit

 Lucy and Grant checking out the fish Uncle Jason caught

 Grace skiing 

 Griffin skiiing

 He still loves playing in the sand box!

 Me and my kiddos

 I think this is one of the many reasons he's the best Pop Pop in the world - he let Grant spray him with water guns all week!

 BeBop joined in on the phone too 

 Such sweet cousins!

 Grant and I going on an adventure

 All 6 grandkids ... Jordan (6.5), Griffin (6.5), Lucy (16 months), Peyton (4), Grant (almost 2), Grace (4.5)

 We got to celebrate BeBop's Birthday with her

 Cooking lunch at the fire pit

A rare adult picture!

 Grace and Peyton are such good buddies - they were brave on the tube!

 High Fives for water fights

 Aunt Cookie and Aunt B with most of the kids - I guess you're never too old to tube!

 Uncle Jason and the middle cousins 

 Time to tube

 All lined up again ... they had so much fun together!

 A typical afternoon with all of us in the water - sorry we cut you off BeBop and Lucy!

 It's hard for me to pass up an opportunity to get all 6 of them in one picture : )

 Making BeBop's birthday cake

 Hmm... I wonder if I can fit in there?

 We did tie-dye shirts thanks to Aunt Cookie and the kids loved it!

Our annual water balloon fight

It was another fun summer with lots of fun memories!
