Life of a 4th...
We were in Maui for Drew's 1st birthday, so we celebrated when we got home.
Is he walking?
workin on it
opening Luvy & Ken's gift
after church
legs for days!
Sloan prepping ribs for the smoker
like a boss
Sloan helps out in Reggie's class every week or two, and has developed a friendship with one of the more rambunctious boys, Kaiwan
Not a sandwich without mayo
love this boy
love this boy
Sloan & Ruth went to a DU Women's Basketball Game & had access to the pre-game talk
So exciting for our little baller!
These 3 playing together is photo worthy
so is these two sitting quietly!
'Giant Mammoth' exhibit at Nature & Science Museum with Lamoreaux boys
Primary program at church - we were actually ready for this one!
Luke wins :)
Bedtime's the best time
Brooke Russell, one of Aja's best friends from high school, was in town for work and came to visit. The kids adored her. She had us all giggling through dinner -sad to only have one lousy picture :(
pretty morning runs continue... yay for a warm fall!
Voodoo donut party for wonderful Caitlin
One of my volunteer jobs this year is being the Box Tops Coordinator for Swigert. Sounded fun & easy when I signed up. But after the classroom contest, I personally ended up counting 20,000 Box Tops because no one came to my counting party :( About 8,000 of them were expired (as expired as 2002), so I mailed in 12,000. Which earned $1,200 for Swigert! But about cost me my sanity!
This is the winning classroom's magic show and pizza party

Ruth was starting to talk quite a bit about her classmate Noah, even admitting she might have a crush. Sloan and I took turns going to meet him during lunch. We later laughed at how disarmingly cool he was.
He won me over. Especially once they showed me their synchronized swing routine.
my shopping buddy
Luke getting ready for Bianca's birthday party
pink unicorns
warning: nudity!
Even within the rigid parameters of school uniforms, he finds a way to express himself through fashion
Reggie's energetic, diverse, Spanish immersed K/1 class
Sloan celebrating Ramsey's birthday with the cross-fit crew
then Darlingside with me
They're an indie band from Cambridge Sloan found about a year ago
Their songs are so beautiful it makes us not want to create music anymore! Their sound is so clear & penetrating... refreshingly pure, sweet and melodious. Lyrics are uplifting and meaningful, but not overly emotional. Highly recommend!
Sloan took the kids on their annual Thanksgiving dinner deliveries for Bruce Randolf's organization
Then a playdate with Reggie's new friend Eli
Mommy-daughter date to Cherry Creek Mall & Young Ambassadors!
Soooo cheesy! You wanna cringe, but you can't help but smile with them!
Monday morning of Thanksgiving week, the Shuman's were in town & stopped by to see us on their way to Boulder. We were buddies in Phoenix when Ruth was a baby & they didn't have kids yet. My, have we multiplied!
getting a little more courage!
not sure what to do with all this time off!
here we go... Spy Kid goggles
for eyes and ears
a couple days of Sports Camp and soccer at Bladium - they actually loved it. So did I!
Denver Art Museum
We had a fun day here - my first visit! Sloan kept teasing the kids about the museum being haunted, so they were spooked throughout the exhibits.
The kid area is amazing! We hung out there a couple hours
playing Guess Who
making Samurai helmets
and crawling over the coffee tables
Thanksgiving morning, I went for a run and found an owl on our neighbor's roof! It was magnificent!
Home for dinner prep
then Sloan invited a few families to meet us at the church to play games
Then home for Thanksgiving with the Rowses
Jordan brought 4-5 gourmet sides and frozen chocolate mousse pie that blew us away! Plus my rolls & sides and Sloan's smoked turkey... heavenly feast!
love birds Bianca & Luke
We loved getting to know Jordan and Tim better. We had an hour or so of uninterrupted adult conversation! Little did we know what was going on downstairs...
Sad goodbye to such a romantic evening
'nite Drew
The next day we met up with the Shumans in Louisville for ice skating
Luke wasn't happy with this pile of snow in the corner
that's better
I couldn't resist
Ruth trying a make-up app on my phone
stunning!
with the Elders
Bowie!!
To finish the week, we spent a day at the Children's Museum
Drew-bear in the mist
They remodeled last summer and added a charming outdoor area
with a zip line!
Sloan and Reggie took off to see a CU Football game and I took R,L & D to the Kriscringle Market Downtown
Luke cooling off his noodles
Reggie scoring some Coke on his date with dad (that's one naughty wink)
and the game
