After the fourth, the fun continued with the California Bergstroms with a trip to the museum, crawdad fishing, painting rocks + sidewalk chalk, the botanical gardens, Chatfield, and a lot of playing. Cole was pretty disappointed to find the house empty when we came back from our summer trips and said, "I need my Berit." Thanks for the visit guys!

Fourth of July

We had a firework show on the 4th. It was a great way to welcome Sadie and the girls to Colorado. Thanks to a stop in WY last week, it looks like next years show will be a little {lot} bigger.

summer projects

We {ryan, and jt} started the deck this summer. Yay! Hopefully most of it gets done before the summer is over. With all the great help he gets from the kids, I don't see why it won't be...

* I can't find the before pics on the computer, but will post some before and afters when I find them and it's done.


I've also had some fun with a projector and paint this summer. Once again Mclayne decided to "help" with this project.

I {and Sadie} also put a harley on cole's wall. And the monogram from our wedding invitations in the master bedroom over the bed. This probably isn't very nice, but pictures of the final products will be coming later.

While I finished the painting in her room, Mclayne decided to do some art on cole, too. She acutally tried blaming it on Cole, and I believed her until he turned around.
