So here are some summer pictures that have been collecting on my phone, Josh's phone, our computer, other people's phones....our camera...
Time to finally put them on here!
Pool time. This is Lauren's sweet friend and they now have a "tradition" doing this picture every summer.
Cuteness.
My bro is now officially a bee keeper at his golf course. (Yay, Steve!) He has researched, worked hard and now successful with his bees! (Go, honeybees!)
It has excited this outdoor guy to no end. Can't wait for some yummy honey.
I have no idea where we were coming home from, but apparently it was a busy day.
After all the rain finally slowed down... we planted a few posies here and there.
"Just for boys" camping trip.
Hannah hittin' the four-wheeler.
Josh got up to Glacier National Park with his work/travel schedule.
Here's one of the pictures he took.
Beyond beautiful.
We went to the Cherry Creek Art Festival again this year. And for a burger Cherry Cricket AGAIN this year. It's a once a year thing now I think.
Only in Denver.
We (especially me) oooed and aaaa'd over the most AMAZING art at this show. This is what the girls and Daddy had fun with at one of the stores.
Just in case you were wondering:
This is Lauren.
Hiking.
That was WAY TOO HOT.
So we have Photoshop on our computer now. I have NOT A CLUE how to use it. Hannah is teaching me with baby steps. She loves graphic design and is on her 3rd class in high school with it.
Isn't this cute that she did for Tristan's 6th birthday? He had such a precious superhero party.
We made jam again. It's more of a fruit preserve.
Josh brought home the famous Colorado Paliside peaches. Like, 10lbs of them.
I don't want to see a peach anytime soon!
Living at altitude...we haven't perfected the setting time...again.
Still runny. Still frustrated.
But at least we can a cute label,
thanks to Hannah!
Had to make our famous flag cake.
And the fireworks...and the fam....
The fireworks were awful...so we all had to entertain each other!
Here is Lauren: with her ear phones in, her laptop, her iphone and the iPad.
ALL AT ONCE.
(sigh.)
I couldn't resist taking this picture.
It's 2015.
It makes me sad at times.
idon't like it,
idon't agree with society's screen obsession,
ithink that ieverything is a waste of life.
Yes, we often have "screen-free days" in our home.
Speaking of tech time: we finally updated my mom's phone!
A big jump from a "vintage" iPhone 3G to an iPhone 6.
Go Nana!
iknow you won't abuse it:)
Pool time...
and more pool time.
Pool anyone?
Happy summer!
