Our Summer in Pictures

















Instead of posting about each and every trip and event, here is a little bit of what we've done this summer in pictures! The last picture was taken just several days ago. Notice the snow still on the mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park!

Make New Friends, But Keep the Old

On Sunday, after a fun-filled weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park, we dropped Skyler off at Meadow Mountain Ranch Girl Scout Camp near Estes Park, CO. This year, she got to go with a friend (Sabrina). This will be Skyler's 3rd summer at camp. The picture above was taken outside their tabin (tent/cabin). It's pretty rustic, no electricity or heat. (It gets pretty cold up there at night...about 9,000 ft. in elevation) but they should keep cozy with lots of sleeping bags, blankets and warm jammies.
The last 2 mornings, Cadence has run into her room first thing and looks around for his best friend. I keep telling him that she is at camp and I tell him throughout the day. He will be happy to have her home on Friday!

Alaska- The Final Frontier






















This past May, Brandon had the opportunity to go on a fishing trip to Alaska. It was a "guys" trip which included his Dad and a few other guys. He had a great time and brought home LOTS of fresh halibut. We have enjoyed grilling, baking, searing and even boiling it! Notice his scruffy beard- he grew it out to help keep his face warm. I sure was happy to see it gone when he got home though!



Welcome to Our Blog!

Welcome! I debated a LONG time whether or not to start a blog. I thought our life was too boring for anyone to care to read it. So yes, I have caved, but for good reason. I finally decided a blog was a great way to chronicle our lives and our kids' lives and maybe even force me to use the camera more often. It always seems we forget it at the most important times. (Like this weekend in Estes Park, for example!)
So, I guess this is it...no turning back now!
