Yeehaw!

 We spent the evening on Diana's farm, she is a friend from Randall's work. I was so fun. We had "snacks"(it was really dinner!) and horse rides an plain old rughin' around! most everyone in the office came with some family members too.

 Lana was really nervous at first. She had the death grip on Diana's hand and it was hard to transfer it to my hand, but after a few rounds she let go of me all together!

                                                    By this point she was saying yeehaw.

                                                  We were all prepared for our photo ops.

 Cain was perfect for Emma he tugged and chased and pulled on Emma. It was a dream come true for her. Her sisters play with her but not as rough as he did, ah heaven!

 Not going to lie this was one of my most favorites! Nadine chasing the kids around the yard. The best one I didn't have my camera ready, but one of the kids told Bev to get Nadine and so she did. It was hilarious to watch two grandmas playing like the kids!

                                      We plan on going with Diana to the Westernairs show this fall too!

A Day of Art

 There was a community art show on the side walk on Sept 8th. I couldn't find the pics of this years online. It  was really neat to see all the talent. The girls loved going and the show had a practice space so anyone not entered could doodle so this is what we did! This is Maddy's

Emma's

Lana's

Mine

The girls were so excited to finally get to meet Maggie Moo! When ever we go for Ice cream they see the pics of other kids with her and now we had our shining moment!!! best part for us was she gave us coupons! So guess what we did...

                                                                        Sugar Buzz?

                                       Maddy and Lana traded ice cream half way through!

We went home for naps then came back to see the art again and have dinner at Mellow Mushroom! Love that place!

               Bummer for Lana was that eating out side you get flies. She is terrified of flies.

We even got to see pieces of the Huskies game, Huskies vs. LSU sadly we did not win. But lets not forget that recently we beat Stanford! ;)

                                                         Then over to the water to play!

                                          It was a day of full fun, and what a great time it was.

Family Fun

 We went to the mall to cool off from the heat. We had a great time together.

I see family dates kind of like visiting teaching. There is a bear minimum of time that should be spent together but that doesn't mean that is all you can or should do. So its great to have family home evening once a week but its even better to do more than that., because the relationship can grow so much more.

 Madi is really good at this face.

 Emma's favorite is when daddy swings here through it.

 Lana is good for a little while then she prefers to watch. Probably a little sleepy too.

Dentist

Here is a fun pic of the girls at their last dentist appt. They all do so good and were so cute I wanted to keep this moment forever.

Summer time Date

This is a picture of one of our dates where I got a par 3. My first shot landed on the green. You might think I am a pro from this kind of work, well lets leave your thoughts there and for get the rest of the score for the game ;).

This was from our dinner that night. It was by far the best Mexican restaurant ever. We were a little skeptical because of how fancy the building was. The fancy restaurant in front of house at Streets of Southglenn is crappy.

This though was AMAZING!

HOT HOT HOT

Yep that is frozen chicken! This is just a random pic to show how hot it is here, and a way to save on the energy bill.

Fruits of our Labor!

This is our first cucumber from our garden. It tasted wonderful. The girls ate the whole thing, and we have more where that came from. Our garden is so fun for our family to see what comes of a little seed,  "hard work", and Gods hand. We have had so many lessons that all start from the garden.
