Happy Birthday Chippy!
Chippy has been in our family for one year! We celebrated with a banana cake covered in sunflower seeds 🙂 She loved it!
First Day of School 2017
We had our annual Back to School Dinner ending with Father’s Blessings, and I took no pictures! But, here is our Family Theme for the year: I really think if we can focus on believing in, and trusting the best parts of each other that we can build trust and strengthen family relationships.
Back to School Bash V
Back to School Bash was awesome, as usual. 75 ice block and 9.5 dozen donuts this year. Love celebrating the end of summer with all our friends. This year Blake didn’t get his jobs done in time and I had to leave him home. But, I felt too sad that he was missing all the…
Blake’s Baptism Day
Saturday June 17, 2017 was a perfect day. Blake told us in the car on the way to the church that he was, “really excited and a tiny bit nervous.” It was really sweet. My Mom, Nat, Leo and Simon came out on Wed and helped with baptism prep. Carlie, Gwen, Mave, Dad and Cole…
Blake’s Baptism photo shoot
All my kids have had their baptism photos taken at the Old Mill Park in Longmont by yours truly. It’s such a beautiful spot and Blake was excited it was finally his turn. We had so much fun and Blake was a great model! I didn’t expect that 😉

Every summer for about the last three years I have tried to reserve tickets to tour the Denver Mint. And they are ALWAYS sold out. For the entire summer. But recently they changed the system to where they distribute all tickets for the day every morning at 7:00am. I REAALLLLY wanted to take the kids,…
Great Wolf Lodge
We decided to throw a mini staycation into our Spring Break. We had a free night on hotels.com and so we booked at the new Great Wolf Lodge. It turned out to be the perfect couple days for it. Outside was rainy and snowy, and we were having a blast swimming inside in 80 degrees….
The Rest of Spring Break
Most of our week was just spend hanging at home. It felt like a really nice break. We slept late, played with friends and had mass amounts of screen time. S’mores with the Rowberrys. Jon and Larraine were here helping out and it was fun to spend the evening with them. Larraine also made a…
