Swimming Update

Keegan has progressed SO MUCH with his swimming in the last 3 weeks! The first week of class, he cried and did not even want to put his ears under water. This weekend we went up to the cabin and got to go swimming in the "peanut pool." Keegan had on a pair of goggles that he had been trying out and we convinced him to look at our feet underwater. It took a little bit of convincing, but once he did he realized how cool and easy it was and he spent more time with his head underwater than above! We were just shocked! GO KEEGAN!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy fathers day to all of the wonderful fathers in our lives!!!

We lick ... I mean love you very much!
We love building things with you...

... we always have a "beary" good time ...

... especially if you have pennies ...

... thanks for taking good care of us!

Love,

All of your kids

First Haircut

My baby girl got her first haircut this weekend! It was just starting to look a little unruly, so I took her in for a trim. She did GREAT!

And the end result is not that different, but ADORABLE!

Swim Lessons

Keegan started his first swim class last week! It is his first non-parent-tot class, and he is doing okay so far. He does NOT like going underwater, and they want him to get comfortable doing it. The other little guys in his class are totally into doing it all, so hopefully they will rub off on him.

Cadence wants to be in there SO bad!!!

Wedding Weekend: The Wedding!!

The wedding was Saturday evening at the Denver Zoo. It was very cool to be there after the zoo was closed. We had it all to ourselves.

Keegan was the ring bearer, and he looked SO handsome in his little tuxedo.

Cadence dressed up for the occasion too. She had pink sparkly shoes, which she loved.

I was trying to get a picture of the two of them together before we left and Matt set Cadence down next to Keegan but she didn't have her footing yet and this is what happened...

I like this picture...

Here is Great-Grandma with 3 of the 4 great-grandchildren that were at the wedding.

Keegan and Alyssa were just too cute together.

Pretty Grandma.

Daddy and Daughter.

Super-Groom! Ready to take on marriage.

Awww, Tom and Grandma. SO glad she could be there.

Keegan did a GREAT job with his responsibilities as the ring bearer.

Waiting for his bride ...

Here's Brittany!

The Ceremony.

Grandma and her four sons. Handsome guys.

My beautiful parents.

Family pic.

We like to kiss a lot. :-)

I love this picture. Cadence honestly loves elephants.

My beautiful cousin Tess.

Mom & Son.

The party people.

... and I forgot to add these guys to the collage. Cousin Jen & Greg, and baby Liam (Alyssa's parents).

Mmmmm, chocolate.

Sharing with Great-grandma. So sweet!

Cadence was trying to drink the tigers from the centerpiece.

Keegan and Grandpa matched. :-)

My handsome boys.

(I couldn't decide which one I liked better.)

The problem with being behind the camera is there aren't many pictures of me. This proves I was there. Plus, I think it's a cute one of Matt.

Dancin' animals. Honestly couldn't get them off the dance floor!

... of course though, you can dance much better without shoes.

I was yelling "Keegan get off of her!" as I was laughing and snapping pictures of them. Goofy kid.

Brittany works as a chocolateer, and her employer provided yummy chocolates. They are gourmet flavors like lavender, rose, rosemary as well as traditional like chocolate ganache, raspberry and mint. They also had cupcakes instead of a wedding cake. I tried chocolate bacon flavored for the first time.

Mmmm cake.

So for the first time in her life Cadence wanted to hang out with someone other than me!!! She wouldn't even come to me when I asked!

The kids almost made it to the end of the party. But they were pretty tired once we got to the car.

The bride and groom.

Congratulations Tom & Brittany!!!!
