A Little Aloha came to the Pueblo neighborhood this week! #shavedice #tigersblood

We went to Swim Beach to cool off. Add a little water to the afternoon, and you've got hours of entertainment! Ethan tried his best to bulldoze the water.

Swimming does a hairstyle good! 

All tuckered out after a long day at Swim Beach

You're never too old for a baby pool! Patrick and Eli splashing around with Maggie and Caleb Stegelmeiere

Caroline matched her dress with these adorable Bobbi socks - so cute!!

Bobbi sock adorableness continues

Eli's awesome note. Me too, Eli! 

 

 

Fort Collins trip for Joe and these 3 monkeys. Sentimental stop #1: the Poudre river, where we took our engagement photos. I sure do love the fruits of those photos!

Sentimental stop #2: Our tiny 500-sq ft apartment on South Whitcomb Street. Where we brought home tiny bay Patrick! 

 Ethan served up the brownies tonight

 The kids latest obsession is Perler beads! All the kids are working on them, but Patrick is the most prolific. In his own words, "art is kinda my thing."

Colored sparklers for the win! Childhood includes a surprising amount of controlled pyromaniacy.

Who needs to throw tea into a harbor when you can just get everything wet in the sprinklers? 

Happy Independence Day!!

 

Caroline just spent an AWESOME week with her cousins, and without her mom. What a big girl! Many, many thanks to Kari and Jonathan.
