Day Camps 2019

The day after coming home from Utah and Nevada, Danny had Cub Scout day camp on Friday (Passport to the World theme) and baseball on Saturday.  The entire next week was Kiwa day camp (with a Seasons theme) and then the next week was K's favorite day camp she's ever been too -- CU volleyball with two of her friends (she said the best part was the food).  I have to say Kiwa was my favorite day camp, partially because I got to spend 3 full days there and simply because this is a tradition that is truly enjoyable for everyone except K, who opts to spend time with my mom instead of joining us in singing crazy songs and making fools of ourselves.  One day when K was at a BoCo volleyball clinic that week my mom went in my place so I could get some things done. Thank you, Mom!  
During June we also had puppy training classes (Piper on Wednesdays and Maisie on Saturdays), K and M taking viola lessons, D playing lots of baseball, doctors appointments, play dates, a pool party with the BoCo post adoption support group, N's tutoring sessions with Stacey H., M's horse lessons on Saturdays, D's cello lessons, me subbing in primary, feeding the missionaries, M's first tennis lessons, getting the air conditioner fixed, the puppies groomed, and picking up K's scooter from Play it Again Sports.  Yes, the scooter that was stolen over a year ago showed up there and they called us up and said we could have it back after we gave a statement to the police.  What a nice surprise!  Meanwhile, Hubby has had a super busy time at work and we miss him but are so proud of him.  It was great to celebrate him and my dad on Father's Day!




The day Maisie & Piper turned 4 months old was quite entertaining.  We had N's friends A & Y and their puppy over to play so the two of us moms definitely felt like we were chaperoning a party.  Piper also gave us quite a scare when she decided to help me with the dirty dishes, pulled a steak knife out of the dishwasher, and began running around the house with it.  Imagine a puppy coming straight at you with the pointy end of the knife sticking out!  (Luckily no puppies or humans were hurt.).  Later that week when I went to Jaymie's bridal shower I had to buy her the knives and cutting boards that were on her gift registry to mark the time my puppy came after us with a knife!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
