More and more summer pictures!

J is back in town so we get to have arts and crafts time!  Look at these mosaic pots we made.

The girls got to make a couple of little ones too.

Hunter was sitting up watching movies with us the other night and I thought this picture was too cute.

Look at a very tired Crystal with Hunter kissing her brother first thing in the morning.

I like to make our kids share drinks only if it keeps them from being stingy and learning patience as seen here in the sand box.

Jackson's cat toy perch and Hunter's swing.

Hunter got her first sunburn, just under her eyes but I still felt bad. 

By the next day though it was all gone.

Jackson's mowing hat.

 Had to plant new succulents in my terrarium...apparently these bad dogs are from the arid desert not the rain forest as I was watering them.

We went to the aquarium in Denver.  Here are the girls petting the stingrays.

Terrible picture of the kids, but proof that all of them are there.

Umm yeah....they do a mermaid show...yep it was awesome.

I love this picture of Carri and Summer...Tadd is so fortunate to have this woman raise his little girl.

I have no idea what was going on with Hunter in this picture but it makes me laugh every time I see it.

I can't believe how grownup Jackson looks here.

And they have a carousel outside...we had such a fantastic day.

And of course J gets drug on all these outings too now.

Girls night

One of our girlfriends started a band and just so happened to be playing at the bar that J works at...so on her night off we all ventured up the hill towards Woodland Park and watched Ashlee and her band.  It was such a fun night and as always makes me appreciate these ladies and their friendship that much more.

There's Ashlee up there singing her heart out.

I propped Hunter up in the wagon so she could see her siblings playing.  Not sure what that facial expression means but it made me laugh when I saw it.

The Littles.

So in our home we have The Littles and The Bigs...and these two little people are just fantastic and wonderful additions to our family.


This is Hunter snoozing while I make dinner last night, we have her lamby seat on the counter and she "helps" with most meals.  Although last night I made lasagna roll ups that turned out fantastic and a tiramisu that you can litterally drink with a straw it's so runny (epic fail).  Clearly she herself is eating well too...see how those cheeks rest comfortably on her chest?!?!  We call her Cheeks MooFabio here. :-D

Oh and this boy.  So he managed the other day to scramble up on to this pit bike by himself (see all the death defying tools and what not around him)...of course it's too high to then get down so he's just stuck there.  We took this picture before rescuing him, clearly he was terrified of being stuck on the "Mo Mo".
