Father's Day and Other Happenings

We're doing really great.  I think I'll let the pictures do the talking this week.  (:

Morgan is in soccer with some preschool friends.  He really enjoys it.

And while we're on this subject, here's Morgan's routine after preschool.  He conks out mid-snack while we're on our way to pick up Jacoby.  I'm not sure you can tell, but he's also the dirtiest little thing you've ever seen after a busy day at school!

 We went on a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.  It was a beautiful day and the boys hiked three miles with minimal whining/fussing/complaining.  It was really great to get out and spend time together.

Bierstadt Lake was our final destination

We were so proud of these guys!

Almost done!

After the hike, we picnicked in the car and drove up to near 12,000 feet where there's still lots of snow!

We celebrated the best dad in the whole world on Sunday.  Grandmanette and Grandpa Michael were here for a visit.  Grandpa Michael treated us with a trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  We saw a planetarium show on the solar system, which both boys loved.

Happy boy...

The boys are crazy about frisbee right now

Jacoby is perfecting his catching skills and really enjoys our time together in the evening.  And I keep thinking that all is well with the world when we're outside playing together as a family.  He carried the frisbee the entire hike in case we had the opportunity to play.  I sat by his Kindergarten teacher at a meeting last night and got to share with her how much Jacoby loves reading.  He's on to book four of the Mercy Watson series.

Here are a few of the lovelies growing in our garden and around our yard.

 The boys go in for a bunch of fresh food allergy testing tomorrow.  Morgan is getting tested on a lot of foods already in his diet just to make sure everything is ok with his system.

Jacoby is getting tested on a few foods we hope to be able to add back into his diet:  stone fruit, coconut (oil, milk, etc), pumpkin, oat, soy butter (which will be a stretch for me to get my mind around since it looks and smells just like peanut butter), and some others.
