Fourth of July~
We woke up early and went to the Highlands Ranch parade. It gets better and better every year. Kai had a blast and Cicilee...well she did what she does best and slept. I felt awful b/c I had her in a little tank top dress and it was quite chilly.
Kai at the parade...
He loved all the trucks and horses....and especially the CANDY!
I'm so sad this picture didn't turn out better. It just isn't really in focus.
We went to the Rockies game again this year for the forth of July and I am so upset that I didn't take my camera! We had a blast. Cicilee and Kai both did really well at the game and as always we LOVE the firework show at the end.
K...so this is really funny. My Mom bought some "fireworks" for us to use on the 4th. We just assumed you lit them. Anyway, so my whole family sits out on the front steps to watch our little firework show and we attempted to light these "fireworks" and it just won't light. Everyone is making fun of me b/c I can't get the string to light. I tried and tried and it just kept blowing out. After several other people tried we finally looked at the "firework" and the "fuse" we were trying to ignite was actually just a string you pulled and confetti popped out. Ha ha, joke's on us I guess. I felt like a living redneck joke....like you would have heard Larry the Cable Guy talking about us.
At least the kids still had fun pulling the "fuse"...
Kai "shooting off fireworks" with Uncle Bill. Kai just loved Uncle Bill! We love you!!!

Cicilee LOVES cuddling/napping with Grandpa Lundeen
This is my Aunt Jean with Cicilee. Aunt Jean is my mom's (identical) twin sister. It was so awesome for Jean and Kirk to come down for the blessing. She is so good with Cicilee, and they are always a hoot to be around. Thanks for coming Jean and Kirk. We love you guys so much!!!
The Blessing~
Cicilee's blessing was awesome! Ben gave such a beautiful blessing. We had so many family members, neighbors, and friends come to support us...it was really overwhelming. I cannot put into words the emotions I felt having so many family members around. It was just awesome. We don't live close to any family really so it was refreshing to see everyone...and to feel loved.
This is everyone who came into town for the blessing. We are so lucky to have so much support from family. Thanks everyone we love you!!!
My mother and my grandmother...
So glad this picture was taken. There are three generations in this picture.
Ben's family that came into town...
My family that came into town...Doesn't Kai look like he enjoyed taking family pictures?
I know...I need to take a better picture of Cicilee in her dress. I will try to get a better picture and post it.
The Denver Zoo~
Benny, Kai, and Grandpa Michaelson
Kai and Daddy looking at the monkeys...
Kai was looking at the Gorillas and one came right over and sat right on the other side of the glass from him. He was so excited...and scared at the same time.
We tried to get him to pose infront of the gorilla but he wasn't so sure about turning his back to it and smiling.
Our attempt at getting a family photo at the zoo...we should have taken it right when we got there before both kiddos were in a sleepy trance.
