July 2016

Brad took us fly fishing and he gave us out first lesson.  And of course, he caught a fish while we were out there.  

On this day, we had planned to take the Singer girls and Samantha rifle shooting, but it was raining so our plans changed.  It took us to the Denver Dumb Friends League where against my better judgement, we rescued this guy.  We named him Tucker.  

We were feeling him out at home and we recognized right away that he is an escape artist and a counter surfer!

4th of July and I hung out with a bunch of high school girls.  Brad had to stay home. :(

We ran into Meg and the kids on the way to Utah.  Literally, she pulled into the gas station just as we were pulling in.  We took Samantha to Utah for EFY with Grace.  We met up with Grace and her aunt so they could take Sam to Logan, UT.

Summer days

June 2016

We managed to get Joe in the mountains with the Jeep top off before he headed back to Idaho.  He loved it and so did we.  

Barbecue with family and friends while Joe, Taylor G and Grant G are in town.  Dad spent some of his time in the house with Olivia eating Nutella. 

 We had Smores of course, but before this the kids played many, many rounds of Knock out and 4 square and for that reason I do love this house in the summer.

BOLDER BOULDER 2016

Aaron and Megan made shirts for the occasion to represent those they love who have or are fighting cancer.  We loved it!

   

And off they go!!!...

...while Brad and I hold down the fort at the stadium!

I was so proud of Sam!  She kept up with Aaron (He would probably say that he kept us with her).  They all made it and they looked like they were hurting when they returned to us. 

Megan and Sam checking their time.  Megan sprinted ahead of the rest.  Impressive.

Memorial Day show begins!   A wonderful ending to a wonderful event.  NEXT YEAR-BRAD AND I RUN IT!!

Olivia didn't make it to Old Chicago.  She was out cold.  Megan put her on the floor on a blankie while we ate.  I love this shot of her.
