we want s'more

 We took a little trip up north to Denver to see family last week.

 I think one of my kids favorite things we do is making smores at Grammy and Gramps.  Delicious, I could eat at least 3...and I did :)

 We did so many fun things:  swimming at the pool, John's company picnic, splash pad, lots of games, and LOTS of food.  But the only thing I took pictures of was the Children's museum.  

 They had a tent outside where kids could make rockets and launch them.

 I made Andrew's and Mabel's.  I was pretty proud that they got to the 60 foot marker once.

Ryan was smart and had his engineer Dad make his...yep, it made it all the way to the moon.  It hit it in fact.  Spencer's always trying to one up me :)

backyard 2011

Spencer has been wanting to take apart my old truck and rebuild it...especially now since it failed emissions.  But I told him he had to finish the backyard first.  

He finished covering up all the dirt with rocks, we planted more plants and he put in the drip system all around the yard.

We had planned on having absolutely no dirt left, but our boys were so sad that Spencer build them a sand box.

Isn't that a fancy sand box?  With a pergola and everything.  Spencer''s honey-do list is done for the summer!

Lucy's Pics

Sorry, way too many pictures for one post...but I just couldn't help myself.

The fabulous Sharleen came through again.  We LOVE Lucy's 6 month pictures (she was probably closer to 7 months, but that's ok)

 I had to include this one because it is classic Grange baby face.  Mouth wide open!

 If you are thinking that those are the biggest and bluest eyes you have ever seen on a baby, you are right :)

 I love this pictures, her face looks perfect.  And doesn't it look like we put lip gloss on her?  I assure you, we did not.

I just want to squeeze her in all her chubby goodness.
