Ziplining

We also went ziplining Saturday. Ireland had to watch, but she was a great cheerleader. We were able to zip across the Colorado River twice! Amazingly beautiful!!

Rafting Adventure

We went white water rafting last Saturday on the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers. We all had a blast. Ireland and I were scared to death a few times, but Jake, Mike, and Jordyn LOVED it. Jordyn "rode the bull" (sat on the nose of the raft) the entire trip unless our guide told her it wasn't safe which was only twice. She was the big motivator for the adult women in the other boats to do the same, but they would only try it for a couple minutes and then get down. The girl has NO fear. I don't know if that is a good thing or not yet! Jake and Mike were soaking each other as much as possible and loving every minute of it. Ireland closed her eyes a lot and even dosed off for about 15 minutes. As soon as we were done, she asked if we could do it again tomorrow, so it must not have been too bad. We took a 1/2 day trip which was 17 miles down the river. It was probably 90" and absolutely beautiful!!!!

Ireland's 1st Sleep-over

Our last weekend in Denver Jordyn had her friend Erica spend the night. Ireland was convinced Erica was her friend and was sleeping over with her! Jordyn and Erica thought it was cute so they included her in everything they did. Thank you Jordyn for being such a good big sister and taking care of your baby sister! They all slept in the living room and this is what I found in the middle of the night!

Father's Day

Father's Day this year was insane! Poor Mike. We moved! Happy Father's Day! Anyway, the girls decorated a miniature tool box for Daddy to keep in his car. It was so cute and of course he loved it! We went to Outback for dinner and then moved! Thank God (literally) that Mike didn't care that this year was hectic instead of laid back. I would have been so irritated, but he was just thankful to have all 3 kids there to share the day with. We are so blessed to have Mike as the head of our household. We all love the sacrifice and hard work he puts in daily to provide for us. We love you Mike!!! Happy Hectic Father's Day! Hopefully next year will be more relaxing!

Jake's Jeep

Jacob arrived for his summer vacation with us. As promised we took him to "look" for a Jeep. The child has been dying for a black Jeep Wrangler with all the fixins! LOL So, of course when we found the perfect one we couldn't leave with out it! He is such an amazing young man. He works hard at school and at home. I know a ton of parents who will say we shouldn't have done that, but we believe he should be rewarded for his efforts! He upheld his end of the bargain by getting good grades while taking AP courses so we upheld our end of the deal! He LOVES his Jeep!!! Happy 16th Birthday,Son! We love you!
