Fun Friday!

Last night we went to the Rec Center for family night swimming with Brian's younger brother Dave and his family. The kids had alot of fun with their cousins! It is nice that most of our kids feel comfortable in the water. It was fun to watch Dave's youngest daughter (which is 2). She is like a little fish and just couldn't get enough of having water splashed on her. I love that my kids love their cousins so much and get along so well. We are blessed to have family so close to us.

Summer water fun

I surprised the kids and made some water balloons for them to throw around the backyard. I am always shocked how long it takes to fill them and then they are gone in just a few minutes. It was still worth it to see how much fun they had in that short time!

Fireworks, Friends, and Fun

This year for the fourth of July we went down to our friends parents house in Arvada to swim and barbecue together. We had a great time! It rained and was chilly for a little while, but the swimming pool was nice and warm.

Got just a few pictures of the fireworks we did this year. The kids had fun with the sparklers, and the pop-its too! When we were finished, it looked like it had snowed in the front yard from all the pop-it wrappers! Thanks Lowrys for inviting us down to spend the day with you! We had a blast! (Thanks to your neighbor... we really did have a BLAST!)

Remodel pictures (Jacob's room)

Once again, this room did not exist before and it is still weird to look down the hall and see a new room there! Here are the beginning stage pictures.

Painting the walls with Evan! He loved helping put the primer on! We also found this awesome fan at Home Depot that matches Jacob room colors almost exactly!

Jacob's finished room! It is the perfect size for him! He has his loft bed with a desk underneath, a book shelf, and lots of free space too! Wish I could have backed up even further so you could see the whole room. We let him pick out his own colors for his room, and I think he did a good job!

Remodel pictures (craft room/loft area)

There were really no "before" pictures since this is a complete new addition, so here are some of the progress pictures.

Love my green walls and all the fun space I have to scrapbook and craft in! Thank you honey! I promise not to spend ALL my free time in here, but it will be hard not to!
