Summer 2014

 The days have been pretty endless around here. There have been lots of crafts, lots of time at the pool, lots of snacks, trip to skyzone, Deanna Rose, and Peach Wave, and lots and lots of errands!

4th of July

We had a relaxing 4th of July weekend. We made all sorts of patriotic snacks. We started the day at a really fun festival followed by lunch at the New York Dawg Pound. I don't think you get more American than hot dogs on the 4th! In the afternoon, we headed to our neighbor's for a fancy Paella feast. It was AMAZING!!!

Vacation 2014

The George boys had a fabulous trip to Colorado. We toured Colorado Springs first. We went to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Garden of the Gods, and the Mollie Kathleen Goldmine in Cripple Creek. We ate some yummy food and drank some awesome beers! We then traveled to Estes Park. We met up with Matt's cousins there. We rode horses, hiked in Rocky Mountain National Park, road the Estes Park Aerial Tram to feed chipmunks, and swam at our awesome resort. Finally, we traveled to Denver for Daddy's cousin's wedding. It was an amazing trip and we will always have some great memories!

Busy Boys!

Our summer started off crazy busy! The big boys got their green belts for karate, they all 3 had baseball teams, we had swimming lessons with our best buddies, and all 3 did Vacation Bible School at Church. It was a great month of June, but definitely looking forward to a calmer July!

B is 9!

Wow! My big boy is 9! And he is such a trooper. We had scheduled to have his birthday party on his actual birthday, but when his Grandpa had last minute surgery and we had to drive to Iowa to see him, we had to reschedule his bash for the following week. We still had a great time. We had all of the neighbors over for ice cream, cupcakes, and baseball. We had strawberry limeade cupcakes and every kid went home with sunflower seeds, cracker jacks, and gummy hot dogs! Fun! Fun!
