September Video Update

It took Timothy two weeks of swim class, but he loves it now and looks forward to it every time!



This is a long video, but it gives you a little idea of Timothy's chatter.

We often bring little speakers out when we have a fire and the kids love to dance.

Weekend at Home

A new hairdo that is created by putting a headband on at night and wrapping the hair. Very fun!

Charlotte with her buddy Alison at the Niwot Trot. We have more pictures from the race, but they are on a missing camera. Marin and Charlotte both did great and came in second and third respectively for their grades.

Baker? Scientist?

A forgotten picture from the rock climbing day.

Frisbee Time



Bocce ball with Altai laying down in the "perfect" spot, silly dog.

Charlotte taking advantage of one of the dead spots in our lawn.

Timothy and Audrey - her mom and I trade off watching the little kids when we volunteer for gymnastics.
Dog Walk
Time to pick some carrots.

Nice beet! This one was hard to get out.

That basket is almost as big as Charlotte!


Timothy's new bed! They all approve, and have had multiple slumber parties already.

Putting together one of two pull-up bars in the basement. Each weekend Marin is our trainer and we do pull-ups, chin-ups, leg lifts, etc...

Time for some whipped cream.

Rock Climbing at Jurassic Park

We had a great summer with a ton of fun activities, but we somehow never made it out rock climbing! In early September we remedied that and everyone had a really fun time. Timothy was thrilled to give it a try and the girls each climbed their highest climb yet, 100 feet.

Lilly Lake


The girls had to check out the water.

Time for snack, these climbers need energy!

Marin leading the way giving her new climbing shoes a try.



Char's turn. She wore Marin's shoes even though they were a bit big. Looks like it is time to get another pair!





Yeah, I can do this too!





I made it, now please come get me!


Climb #2 and Charlotte leads the charge.


This is Marin taking a turn.

Woohoo, Charlotte made it too!

What a wonderful day to live in the mountains.
