Turquoise Lake

 
In August we met Brenda, Jeff, and Gina up near Leadville and went to Turquoise Lake and fished for a little bit. It was really windy and cold so we didn't stay very long. We then went swimming at the Leadville community pool. It made for a great day and was fun to see new things.

First Day Of Kindergarten August 13, 2009

 

This was Brett's first day of kindergarten. It was a bittersweet day for me. He is going to all day kindergartenso he gets to ride the bus to and from school. He was so excited to ride the bus like the big kids. His teachers name is Mrs. Bos. He seems to really like it so that makes us happy.

Denver Aquarium

 
We went to the Denver Aquarium for a reward for Brett and Analise for being good while I was in school the month of July. we met Aunt Brenda and Jeff there for an evening of fun. We even got free tickets to go on the Sponge Bob simulated ride and Brett didn't like it too much but he sure talks about it. They both loved petting the stingrays also.

Pool Party and Tiny Weenie Bikkini

 
 
It has been warm the last few days here so we set up our pool for the kids(the dogs love it too.). Analise is sporting her very first and probably only bikkini. It was a hand me down from the neighbor. They really love to be in the water too bad we get afternnon thinderstorms alot and a lot of wind. But we play in the water when we get a chance.

Fouth Of July

 
 
Maurey had the day before the fourth of July off this year and so we decided to explore. We drove up to Boulder, CO and walked this outdoor mall. It is really pretty up there and the kids loved to play a little bit in the middle of the mall. On the fourth we had a BBQ with friends and it rained so there were no fireworks to be seen. Maybe next year.

I like to look for rainbows...

 
 
It has rained a lot this summer here in Colorado. We always seem to get rainbows looking to the east from our house. They are really pretty and sometimes we even get double ones.

In My Pretty Garden....

 
In our front yard we have a lot of Iris's growiing and here is a picture of some of the beautiful ones. We had more but just as i was going to take a picture of them the hail came and ruined them.
