I just had to post that when we got home Emily lost her other front tooth! I get so squimish about it and so she took it upon herself to pull it out in the bathroom instead of waiting for Dad to get home. What a brave girl!

Family Vacation Time!
We are sure getting the good life here in Colorado. I don't think we have ever been able to spend so much time with family, it is just wonderful! I just have to warn you it is major picture overload, I even had to make them into a movie because I just didn't want to miss anything.
So it all started 2 weeks ago when my Dad, mom and sister Stacia came out to visit. We started things off here in Pueblo West with a day on the lake. We rented one of the patio boats for a few hours and had a blast. There was a snake swimming across the top which totally creeped us all out but what great sight to see! The afternoon was spent running and jumping off the boat with a few flips that ended up back flops. What a day!
After a few days here with lots of swimming and even some fishing (Emily is now quite the fisherman) we headed up to Aunt Pam's in Evergreen. Dad had to go home and Joe stayed in Pueblo West but the girls still had fun :).There was so much we did! Jackson got to play with his cousins Maisie and Colten. We also got to see Allie and her hubby Scott, only to find out they are expecting!! Congrads you guys, we are so excited for you!!
One day we went over to Lakeside Amusement park and had as Emily says "the BEST day ever". The afternoon was spent on the kids rides and then we took a break and had a picnic at a local park only to head back for some serious night rides. Emily even went on that spaceship looking one that spins around like crazy while the music rocks out. I was so amazed and she loved it! Lizzy held her own on all the rides. She is so awesome!
We also spent an afternoon playing in the creek and at the park, another day at the outlets and the Gold Mine and Stacia and I even went on a little outing while the adults watched the kiddos. Uncle George even taught the girls how to play the harmonica. It was so cute how focused Emily was and how Lizzy just lets the music flow through her ;)Then on Saturday Aunt Pam hosted a joint birthday party for Jackson and Stacia. Jaime and Jered and Jenny were able to come up with their kids and everyone had a great day. Happy Birthday Stac! Then Scott coordinated a rafting trip for us! What fun! There were 7 of us so unfortunately we had to split boats but we did the intermediate run and I think we all loved every minute of it, even with the rain! I guess Jered almost fell out but kept his feet wedged tightly in and we almost lost Joe once but he is so quick to react, it was only a split second. On the little movie our boat is first with Joe, Stacia and I. The other boat had Uncle George, Jaime, Jered and Scott. Anyways, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Thank you all for such a great week!

Catch-up Time Again
Well, the girls finished swim lessons. We only did one round this time, we are trying to keep our schedules simple this summer. The girls both did amazing. What little fish they are! Lizzy is now in level 3, the same as Emily. She has her freestyle swim down and the two of them are just too awesome. I love that they are so comfortable in the water now and can have so much fun.
We had a surprise visitor too! Uncle Ron and Aunt Cheralyn stopped by! It was so nice to visit with them, it has been so long! Lizzy got her Mom's nickname of "giggles" while she and Uncle Ron played. Hopefully we didn't scare them off :). The girls got to tour their RV and just loved it! Thanks for stopping by you guys!!!
The 4th was amazing as well. We started the morning with the local 5k. Then we got to see the "wet" parade. We sat with some friends who got extra wet and the kids loved every minute of it! The parade would go by and they would spray everyone with water or throw candy. I didn't bring the camera, my phone barely made it through it! The rest of the afternoon was spent over at the litle fair, dinner with friends and then Joe took the girls to watch the fireworks. We hope you had a happy 4th too!
