Father's Day

Last Sunday we had a great Father's Day celebrating what a great dad Seth is!

Ethan is at a great age where he gets so excited to do nice things for us on special occasions and Father's Day was no exception. All week long Ethan wrote notes and colored pictures and we even went out together while Ciara was taking a nap to buy a present.

The kids getting all the Father Day surprises ready!



Dad opening Ethan's Father Day present that he made Seth at school. He was SOOOOO excited to give it to him that morning. He had it hidden up in his room for days!

Just some cute pictures of the kids before we left for church

Happy Father's Day, Seth!

Our Only Family Camping Trip This Yesr!

At the beginning of June we went on our first and only family camping trip this summer. We decided to keep it close this year and headed to Cherry Creek just for a night.

Seth was great to do all the packing up, setting up, and cleaning up! After getting everything set up we headed down to the reservoir for some swimming and playing in the sand. They kids LOVED it and we spent all afternoon there.

We then cooked hot dogs and made S'mores. It was such a nice summer night! Then we went to bed. It wasn't my best night sleep but we still had fun as a family.


In the morning we had a quick breakfast packed everything up and headed back to the lake for a few hours. All in all our camping trip was great!

The Bolder Boulder

On Memorial Day Seth ran the Bolder Boulder again. I took the kids up and we watched from the stadium. We had lots of fun. It was neat to see all the people run in. Seth did a great job!

The kids waiting patiently to see their Dad!


If you look closely you can see Seth right before he crossed the finish line. He is dressed all in black!


We then stayed to watch the professionals race. I had only seen them run on t.v. and so it was really cool to see them in person. Both the women and men winners were from Ethiopia.

After a long day in the sun we came home pretty tired and the kids ran through the sprinklers and had popsicles. We had a fun Memorial Day!
