Rockies Birthday Party

Warren's party was on June 3rd for the Rockies versus Diamondbacks game. The Rockies ended up losing 2-4, but the party was a definite winner all around. Warren had 10 friends from school and little league join our family downtown for some tailgating, baseball, and last but not least the limo ride home!

Such a great experience. Happy Birthday, Warren!

Warren is double digits!

Bryan woke up early on June 1st and took Warren and Jack fishing!  Packed a cooler of sandwiches and but on lots of bug spray and they were gone for 12 hours...

His birthday party is tomorrow at the Rockies game. Should be a good time! Happy Birthday, Warren!

Art on the patio

Not every day is all that exciting or even consists of an outing. Some days I just toss a bunch of art supplies on the patio and see what they make of that. Of course this doesn't actually occupy them for long, and before you know it they are back to riding bikes and rough housing and eating. Holy cow they never stop eating all summer. All day. Every day. Eating, eating, eating.

first days of Summer 2014

Nothing like getting the calendar for next school year and realizing my due date is the first day of school :) Kinda funny and also kinda daunting! Admittedly I am ripe with first days of summer enthusiasm and adrenaline. But I do want to make sure we start off on the right foot and set a good standard from which to falter later in the Summer.

Got Story's travel system all scrubbed up and ready to go...in 10+ weeks!  Ha!  Lots of early nesting going on here.

Starting to foster friendships for this little man somehow already even though it was just yesterday he was born.

This note from Jack's teacher, along with an adorable plant in a planter signed by all the kids in Jacks class, brought me to tears on the last day of school.  It was truly an amazing year for Warren and Jack in school.  They had stellar report cards and we are immensely proud of them both.

Treated some neighbor friends to snow cones and kettle corn on the last day of school.  So fun!

Of course there was water play involved since it was HOT!

First official day of Summer we went to WOW Children's museum.  Warren built this keystone arch and was so happy to be out with his little brothers.

Eeek!!  There is an actual cherry tomato growing on my plant. 

And the strawberries are doing SO well this year it is crazy.  Must be all the rain we got this Spring.

A boy with a dust rag makes my heart skip a beat.

They are all doing so well with their chores and workbooks etc.  Makes me want to treat them to fun outings and plenty of outdoor fun this Summer.  Yay!

I think this is going to be a decent Summer. And I can't wait for the punctuation mark at the end with the birth of our daughter.

Happy Birthday, Bryan!

It was a pretty good 35th birthday, filled with a new BBQ joint, playing at a park and scoring a new patio furniture set.

Cheers to many more to come, we love you! ~Charity, Warren, Jack, Nolan, Luke and Story XOXO

Suprise Rockies Game with Dad

Bryan surprised Warren by picking him up from school on Thursday and taking him to the Rockies vs. Giants game that started at 1pm. The game ended up getting rain delayed twice and finally being called in the 5th inning with a 2-2 score, so they got vouchers to go back to another game. They managed to have a lot of fun pitching and broadcasting and getting Warren a new Rockies jacket though despite the weather.

Warren will surely remember this occasion forever, what a cool dad he has :)
