Ads-different swimming

Ads decided to stay with his year round team this summer.  While its a different schedule and different meets from the other two, he is really doing well and having fun!  We went to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago for a big meet at the Air Force Academy and stayed overnight.  We had a huge group of these kids and parents at dinner and headed to Scheels (a whole experience) before the meet Sunday.

 

Fun run!

Its become sort of a tradition that when we swim meets at Central Park, the moms head out on a "fun run" before the meet.  This year was a bigger group!

Hard to see, but B heading out on the final relay at the Central Park meet.

 

LTs birthday

Unfortunately, LTs birthday fell in the midst of a lot going on.  End of senior year (and school for the younger two), start of swim meets, and grandpa wasn't doing well.  We did go to sushi as a family and then came home for ice cream cake.

 

Last baseball game

 

All City Award

These guys were recognized for being top swimmers in DPS at a very informal and very odd ceremony in the middle of a soccer game.  Regardless, it was an honor and fun to be there.

 

Beginning of Summer Swim Fun

First swim cheer of the season.

B is often with LT and his friends.

Post first swim meet.  Older and younger versions.

Fairly often we have a group of kids at our house for dinner.  I will definitely miss having these guys around when LT is gone.

 

Late May Photo dump

May was filled with graduation parties.  Above was one we hosted for LT and 3 of his best buds from highschool.  

A photo from another party we hosted at our house.  Rox and I have been close friends since 7th grade and its rare we get adult photos, so I am glad she got this one.

Another grad party.

Probably our last hike until the fall.

Another grad party, this one with more kids B's age.

In 345 at Stanley, they do a goodbye circle for each 5th grader.  All the other kids write an individual note to the 5th grader leaving and then they go around the circle and read them all.  Because B is also leaving Stanley, he was one of the recipients this year.

We will really miss his magical 345 teachers.

Last day of school Park Burger lunch before an end of year pool party.

 

High School Graduation

Its hard to believe, but LT graduated from high school in May.  He's off on his next adventure in California!  I never take enough photos, but we did take several.  Baba was also at graduation but left before we took photos.

Randoms from May

 

Colfax half for the who knows what year.

Sweet girl.

End of a mediocre (but fun) baseball season.

Hikes were limited this year due to full schedules, but we enjoyed the ones we got in nonetheless.

Mothers day dinner.

Always a lot of boys at our home.
