Family Reunion at the Lake House

One of the highlights of our summer was a week spent at a lake house in Mass. for the Swenson family reunion. It was so nice to see family again and to be able to visit in such a relaxing place.



While there, we attempted family photos. We were able to get a few, but our favorite was this one with Blakester running down the dock. He is so full of energy and entertains us constantly.



While we were at the lake, the boys spent a portion of every day fishing. They could have spent the entire time doing so, but fortunately we had some other activities planned. Some of the other highlights included: berry picking, sailing in Newport, visiting Boston, watching movies and eating good food. Already looking forward to the next reunion:)


Thanks again Dave and Nicole for all your efforts in planning this vacation.

Rocky Mountain National Park

The Rockies Game

Some good friends gave us tickets to the Rockies game and we had great time. The boys enjoyed eating sunflower seeds, cheering for the home team, and meeting up with old friends. . .

Coincidentally, we ran into our neighbors who had brought their boys to the game, as well. We were able to visit a while with them before we headed back to our seats. It was great to catch up ,

The Interest Fair

Caleb and Dallin attend a nearby Montessori Charter School and we love it. At the end of the school year they did a large project on one of their interests.

Caleb chose football and Dallin reported on our pet bearded dragon. Both did really well and were able to present their projects to their peers and parents.

These two cuties moved to town and have been spending some time with us. One day I asked them to be my models and they willingly agreed. They were adorable, super smilie, and so cooperative. These two were the stars of the day ... I loved it!

Blake followed us around, but wanted little to do with our picture taking.

Just Jumping

These boys love to jump and couldn't get enough of the camera this evening.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

I loved watching this little monkey climb around like she was one of the big kids. She has so much spunk and energy I don't know how her mom keeps up.

Dallin is a crack up. He loves to clown around and he has the most contagious laugh. When he was almost three he broke his leg a playground. As a toddler, he was cautious and often nervous to try new things. These so he like to torment me by attempting all sorts of playground tricks. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson, but no:)

Happy Easter

We are lucky to live within 10 minutes of the Denver temple.
This Easter we spent the afternoon walking the temple grounds
and enjoying the gorgeous flowers.
It was extra special to have Kimberly and her
girls with us to enjoy the temple grounds.

Caleb and Dallin kept smelling to see if they could determine the
sweetest flower in the garden. They narrowed it down to a few,
but then the little guys joined in. Blake thought a few smelled
like peanut butter and jelly???

I love this shot of the boys! Blake is always trying to be a part of
the big boys games and activities.
He just can't get enough of his big brothers!
