You are never truly bonded with someone until 

you share a near death experience with them.

What's not to smile about?

Chicago has The Purple Pig and Denver has Root Down.

What I wouldn't give for a Colorado Lamb Slider right now!

They have Bcycles and everything.

Despite the chilly weather, two of my three boys spent some time in the water.

8.12.12

It is possible* that the dads rented the speed boat more for themselves

than the kids?!

They don't call it the fun deck for nothin'

8.10.12

Paddle boards turned to surf boards made for a full day of fun.

Today, as we were watching Raising an Olympian,

Gibson looked at me and said,

Mom you're raising an Olympian...Me.

He then went on to tell me that he no longer wanted

to play soccer, but wanted to focus on swimming.

He asked to borrow my phone so he could listen to

Needtobreathe as he started his training,

and turned down my Peach Crisp for dinner because,

Olympians don't eat desserts.

8.2.12

The boys just remembered that they have tons of legos,

and have been playing with them all day.

8.1.12

Trying to get a comfy seat for the Olympics!
