Henry's first dentist visit...

...and he was as calm as one would hope. I am sure that watching big Sis Sophia get checked first helped out quite a bit!

Looking at these pictures just makes me want to keep them small... I know they will continue to grow and grow fast. Not before long those feet will be dangling off the end of chair in size 13 shoes.  It happens too fast!

Candlelight breakfast?

This is slowly becoming the new 'norm' in our house...always fun to change things up a bit!





Lake in the mountains...

I have been missing water a lot lately...  Recently, I have heard more and more about a place called Grand Lake.  Many people love to go there, and now I know why.  We drove up to Grand Lake this past weekend, early in the morning.  We had such a fun and great day out on the water...a first time for the kiddies on a boat.  Although the lake wasn't as big as I had hoped (or as warm :) ) it was just as beautiful.  I don't think either Cecil and I have heard Sophia giggle as much as she did...all of the bumps were so funny as well as the 'boogies!' (aka buoys)... 






A fun and bumpy boat ride, mexican food for lunch, ice cream and chocolate covered fruit...what more could we ask for?

Oh!  I know, we had the most spectacular drive home through Rocky Mountain National Forest.  Beautiful...I had no idea.  Many people go camping with their kids and say it is a blast.  Not sure we I am ready for that yet...

The day was packed full, we had tons of fun doing something new and getting 'out' of the city and Sophia and Henry did GREAT in the car.

Dog Days of Summer

Goodness!  I haven't written anything in well over a month...  Summer has been so much fun, hard to believe that school is just around the corner.  I just wanted to share some of our family summer fun...
