First Day of School 2011

We can't believe we have a middle schooler. Aaron started 7th grade and Emily started 4th grade. I started a long term sub job in 5th grade.

Emily's birthday

We celebrated Emily's birthday while camping. She had a Blizzard at DQ after a wonderful mexican dinner in town.
We spent the day at the Old Town Hot Springs.

The hot springs were wonderful.

Camping vacation

Hahn's Peak Lake
We canoed all the way across and back.
We saw a double rainbow one afternoon.
Aaron gutted 2 fish that Les caught. Emily ate an eyeball of one fish after it was cooked. She just swallowed it.
We went canoeing on Hahn's Peak lake.


Aaron learned to drive a clutch motorcycle and Emily learned to drive a motorcycle.
Oops, Aadam forgot his bike.
Our campsite was very green, except for the pine beetle kill.

We went camping in the Steamboat Springs area for almost a week. It was a lot of fun.

A great visit with Nana and Papa.
A family in McCall owns this bobcat. It was raised by a house cat.

Our summer...

Aaron's last regular season baseball game was last night. His team won. He started as catcher and finished as pitcher. His team was 11-7 for the season. They ended in 3rd place!!!!!!
He has been invited to go to state with the Arvada team, as a pitcher. He is very excited. That tournament will be in Pueblo.
Emily has a game tonight and another tomorrow night. Her team is 5-3 so far. She has been catcher and playing infield positions.
Aadam and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary last week.
We are having a great summer. We planted a garden. We enjoy relaxing at home when we don't have a game or practice (which isn't very often ;).
We did have a sad time last week. Misty, our cat, went into kidney failure. Aaron and I took her to the vet for the last time. She was 16 years old. Her sister, Breezy, seems to be doing fine.
