Camping Again

Since I'm not working, I love prepping for our camping trip while the kids are at school and Mike is at work. We pull out of the neighborhood minutes after Daddy gets home and we literally feel the stress staying behind in Denver, as we drive up the hill.  

Writing

Jak has learned how to write "I Love You Too!".  He wrote this message on sticky notes and spread them all over the Standley Lake Library today.  Spreading the love that fills his heart!

Mike Nelson Visits St. Anne's

What a performance!  This guy is so passionate about Colorado Weather and he makes sure the kids get excited as well.  Lillian loved seeing Mike Nelson again and having him come to her school.

Fall Camping....The Kerschen's Favorite Season!

 The pool has closed for the season, school is back in session, Labor Day has passed and most people feel summer is over...and the Colorado Kerschen's LOVE IT!  This is our favorite time of year to camp.  We have the mountains to ourselves (if you ignore the hunters!).  The nights are cool, daddy wakes up early to hunt, and we sleep in and relax in the camper while we wait for the sun to warm things up outside.  We play games, do worksheets, make gourmet breakfasts and giggle while we wait for Dad to come back from his morning hunt.  Then we get outside to explore!  This is our idea of heaven!

Double Birthday Celebration

Now that Mom and Dad live in Colorado, I imagine this might become a tradition!  Mike and I treated my parents to a night of unique ambiance and history.  We took them to the Buckhorn Exchange  - home to Denver's 1st Liquor License, lots of notable cowboy scuffles, brawls and shootouts and local game such as Buffalo, Elk, Rattle Snake, Quail and more.  It was a delicious, and unique experience!

The kids decorated presents for Mommy, while I was getting dressed.  They were proud to show off their artwork (with wet hair fresh out of the shower/bath!).

Children's Museum

Jak and I picked up Lillian from school and headed straight to the Children's Museum for Free Day.  They have outgrown some of the museum exhibits, but discovered other areas that really cater to their age group.  As you can imagine, I had a hard time getting them outta there!

So far 40 Looks Fun!

Momma's turning 40...how'd that happen?  Haha.  We rented the clubhouse, invited almost everyone we know and enjoyed a kid free night.
