A lot has happened recently, and we've been slow to post. Here are some miscellaneous pictures from the last few weeks. My Parents came out for a day for Summer's blessing. Grandpa brought a fancy camera from school, so some of these pictures turned out great:























Peanut M&Ms + taking close-ups = yuck:














We had a great time with them here, even for such a short trip. Julia got to see them off at the airport:




Cooper is a very fashionably dressed young man. He came out of his room wearing this the other day:



ALl the kids got to go to Grandma & Grandpa Kelly's house for a campout last weekend:

Mason Kindergarden Graduation

***Disclaimer***

This is ten full minutes long. I tried to trim it down some more, but what can I say - I'm a proud parent, and this kid's face is so cute I can't help but leave in every second. So grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles rejoice.... all of you with short attention spans - just scroll past this.

Hair Cuts!

We like to class these boys up for the Summertime. They are officially out of school now so they can look cool and not have anyone give them the RAZ. The smiles tell me they seem to like it. ;)

A shout out to my mom today. It's her birthday. She's visiting my sister, Summer in N. C. this week. She's the most amazing woman in the world. I love her.

Happy Birthday Old Lady!!

Summer Stamps is already one month old today. I can't stand it! I knew it would go by fast. I have been enjoying every second of it. You can tell by our disorganized house and our consistant menu of pancakes and cream o' wheat ( thanks Steve!). All the other kids think they've died and gone to heaven. They all have been really good . Right now she's screaming "put me to sleep!"

Piano Recital

This was Fox and Mason's second piano recital, and Coopers first. Enjoy!

New baby sounds

All the kids took their turn holding her (but Mason gets bragging rights, as he was first)

Summer got all buckled into her car seat. She's ready to go home!



Doesn't a mother of five deserve to ride home in style?




We picked up all the kids early from school and took them for a ride:

We decided to name her Summer after Sarah's sister.

More pictures soon!

New Baby in Town

At 6:00am this is what the sunrise looks like in Wheat Ridge.


At 39 weeks, this is what my Prego wife looks like:


And at 9:31 am this morning, we added a baby girl to the family - we're still working on the name...

so far so good. all the toes, all the fingers, and happy grandparents.

What do you do with a Saturday morning?

A new trick at the dinner table:
