June 2016

We managed to get Joe in the mountains with the Jeep top off before he headed back to Idaho.  He loved it and so did we.  

Barbecue with family and friends while Joe, Taylor G and Grant G are in town.  Dad spent some of his time in the house with Olivia eating Nutella. 

 We had Smores of course, but before this the kids played many, many rounds of Knock out and 4 square and for that reason I do love this house in the summer.

BOLDER BOULDER 2016

Aaron and Megan made shirts for the occasion to represent those they love who have or are fighting cancer.  We loved it!

   

And off they go!!!...

...while Brad and I hold down the fort at the stadium!

I was so proud of Sam!  She kept up with Aaron (He would probably say that he kept us with her).  They all made it and they looked like they were hurting when they returned to us. 

Megan and Sam checking their time.  Megan sprinted ahead of the rest.  Impressive.

Memorial Day show begins!   A wonderful ending to a wonderful event.  NEXT YEAR-BRAD AND I RUN IT!!

Olivia didn't make it to Old Chicago.  She was out cold.  Megan put her on the floor on a blankie while we ate.  I love this shot of her.  

APRIL and MAY 2016

Megan Acker had a birthday party and of course, you will find Brad out with the kids and Samantha with a kid on her hip. I love that my family loves kids. 

We went to the Tom's Shoes Warehouse Sale at the National Western Stockshow.  A fun experience, $122.00 later! 

Met Brad at Bonnie Brae Pizza and he looked like this when we showed up.  Always trying to get a laugh out of us.  

Time to take the top off the Jeep! Finally!!

Followed Brad and Sam home from Home Depot after purchasing some new trees.  It was beautiful night in Colorado. 

This is an event Brad and I went to for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Thrive Homebuilders bought a table as a sponsor. It was a formal event which Brad did not know so I showed up in rags.  I was mortified, but later tried to push it aside and have a good time.  Brad was only trying to make it a fun night by not telling me.  I met all his colleagues too, dressed in a 5 year old Old Navy dress.  

 Kicking the summer into gear with SMORES and a fire! Hoping to do many more of these this summer!

Face timing with Sister Acker (and Joe at BYUI)  Emily has been gone for only a few short weeks.  Regardless, we loved talking with her!!!

Olivia and Sam in Sacrament.
