Misc. summer fun

The Neighborhood Pool

Many afternoons this summer were spent at our pool. The kids took lessons for a couple of weeks and did great. Jake turned into quite the fish. It was nice that he was so much more independent this year. (I didn't have to get wet if I didn't want to Ü )

We took lots of picnic lunches to the pool.

I did lots of towel laundry this summer too!

Flying W Ranch

Flying W Ranch is a fun place here in Colorado Springs where you can go and check out an old western town and then have a yummy western bbq and watch a fun band play. We were invited for a friends birthday and had such a blast. We have been wanting to go since we moved here!

Jake and Steve showed up in matching outfits...how cute!!


Labor Day


Cute and dirty dirty faces!

Roasting marshmallows for FHE with Jake and Jess

Sky Sox

Colorado Springs has its very own minor league baseball team...the Sky Sox. We have heard how fun the games are but have never been. Well, our friends had some extra tickets so we tagged along. We had such a blast!! They have amazing fireworks after the game too!

Happy 13th Anniversary

On Aug. 23rd Kent and I celebrated our 13th anniversary. Kent let me decide what we wanted to do. I picked dirt biking...just the two of us. We had SO much fun together!!! After we cleaned up we went to a yummy dinner and a movie. I love spending time with my sweetheart!

We also spent two weeks together in Europe this summer. Pictures on that will be coming. My kids had a blast with their Grandma Carlson for a couple of days and then with Nana and Papa. (Mom, do you have any pictures of your adventures with the kids?)
