Summer Fun

We are splashing and sailing through summer. Lots of fun has been happening around Denver this year!

Stephanie, Cooper, Carter and Asher came for vacation Bible school. All of the cousins had such a fun week!!

The 4th of July was a long (but not long enough!) weekend of fun, food, family, friends and water!!

Aunt, Linda, Fred, Kim and Abi came for a visit the next weekend. 

Brighton lost his other front tooth. I never knew a toothless child could be this cute!!

The rest of the time we have just been  hanging out.

We have lots of plans coming up!

We just returned from our Flowe Family Vacation to the beach. We normally have been to the beach a couple of times by now but we had to get finished with soccer and Soap Box Derby this year. Well worth the wait! We had a GREAT time, got lots of sun and ate some great seafood!

Now I suppose we will get busy with boating and lake fun!

Okay I am totally guilty of neglecting this blog again. I admit it. I do not have any intensions of giving it up, it is just that stuff keeps getting in the way! Soooo, in the past two months this is what we have been up to:
Brighton has followed in his Dad, and Uncles' family tradition of racing Soap Box Derby cars. This is a timeless sport that is really super cool! I like it because it is just something different! He did 3 races. Started out really questionable but by the last one he was doing AMAZING!! Steering great and even driving stratigically based on what his Dad and Grandad were telling him to do. We are really proud of his quick progress. He has been the youngest driver at most races and should really be on top of his game next year! He has a great car (due to his super talented mechanically inclined granddad)  his dedicated father AND we are super lucky to have such awesome, amazing sponser (!!!!).  

The local Denver paper did a story on him and I think it is so cute! http://www.lakenormanpublications.com/denver_weekly/flowe-family-continues-tradition-of-soapbox-racing/article_71e517fc-30f8-11e7-a468-f3c5faeb65f6.html

Meanwhile, both kids have been doing soccer and Baylor is really really good! So proud!

Brighton has been continuing to lose teeth. It is almost hard to recognise him these days!

Wesley is doing well! 

Sports are taking a lot of our weekend time, but we have been able to do some other fun things as well. Taylor had a super cute farm themed birthday party. Baylor really enjoyed the petting zoo!

as well as hanging out and having playdates around the house!!

Had a wonderful Mother's Day and I am so proud to be Mommy to these two handsome and SWEET boys!

We are gearing up for a HOT summer! We got the boat in the water and have gotten in a couple of leisurely rides. Now we are just counting down to school being out and vacation time!!!
