Go Wildcats!!!

It's that time of year again....football!! We've been breaking out the purple around our house!!

Fire!!

We've had a long, hot, dry (did I mention "long"?) summer here in Colorado and we've been fortunate to be pretty far away from the dangerous wildfires that have happened in the past couple weeks. The fire station open house happened to be on one of the unusually cool days of this month, and the kids had a great time climbing around the trucks and aiming the water hose. I'm hoping we can enjoy that cooler weather again soon....

Here are the kiddos, from left to right....Isaac, cousin Trey, cousin Brody, Tessa & our neighbor Zinedine!

Isaac thought he was so big getting to shoot the fire hose!

Tessa wasn't so sure at first about sitting in the drivers seat...

But we couldn't get Isaac to get down!

Cousin Trey loved it too!

New ride

When we were in the mountains a couple of weekends ago, Isaac got to try out his new ride....a trailer bike! Grandma & Popo were so kind to let us borrow theirs for a while to see how he likes it. (I think his exact words on the ride were "this is soooo exciting!") It's basically a bike with one wheel that fastens behind an adult bike. It's a great way for them to learn some balance until they are ready to ride their own bike. Tessa is pretty happy about this new setup too as she likes having the trailer all to herself!

Yo Ho!!

Last weekend in the mountains we attended "Beatlefest" in Frisco and got to watch a lumberjack competition/demonstration. It was actually pretty entertaining, and just short enough to capture the kids attention - something we don't get to see everyday! Apparently "yo-ho" is the lumberjack cheer.

Tessa taking in the show! (she liked the music best!)

Isaac getting a better view!
