August: weddings and boating!

Dane and Megan's wedding at the Denver Botanical Gardens
was beautiful! Karly stayed with Kitty at home and did great.

We went a little crazy and bought a boat! I loved growing up on the lake 

and having a boat so I thought it was necessary!

No complaints!

Frenchman Lake Camping and 7 month pictures!

Karly wasn't the most stable sitter or crawler for awhile 

(ya gotta start somewhere!) so I got this mat to soften 

the wood floors. She loves it!

Can't beat a weekend at the lake!

Jesse is always trying to get Lucy to swim.

We are definitely a crawler now! She is getting so big!

OIT Alumni BBQ

We are so blessed with such a happy girl!

Karly's first time in a swimming pool. We had a blast!

Great seats for the volleyball game. Shawn did a fabulous job of protecting 

us from the out of control hits that happen quite frequently.

Went downhill from here...

Woke up early the next day for a fabulous hike to the Galena Creek waterfall.

Karly slept most of the second half. She got pretty heavy by the end!

July: camping and more.

 Karly playing in her mini while Mom packs for the 4th.

Yeah, we made it to Iron Gate and the weather cooperated! 

Karly and Lizzy played very well.

Andy and sleepy Parker.

Beautiful!

Karly hated the lake water; Parker didn't mind too much!

....and that wore them out!

Happy 4th of July!

Very happy Grandma and "Grandfather"

Karly likes the boat if she doesn't have to touch the water! It's too cold!

James, Makenna, Ashley and Patience loved tubing!

Karly slept very well in the tent!

Lizzy running from the water!

 And they're finally okay with it!

And now we're home! Jesse says it's time to get her out of our bed, so here's the first step: 

pack'n'play with bassinet. So far she's doing really well!

Late night running to avoid the heat! 

Look at that wind blown hair!

First camping trip!

Packing for the trip, Karly got to sit by her big teddy from 

Shawn while playing with her new turtle from Kris and Allan's trip to Australia.

Thank you Friends!

We made it to Iron Gate just in time for it to be cold and windy!

The kiddos were pretty bundled up!

So we sat in the motorhome and held babies!

Parker sleeps a lot!

Karly likes to bully Parker out of her way. 

We'll have to put an end to that!!

The weather decided to play nice for Sunday! 

Here's Grandma Tammy with her new babies!

Loved seeing this little guy!

Makenna "waterskiing"

Much needed bath time! This was Karly's first time sitting in the tub 

at home and she loved it! So much easier to get her toys.
