we have been so very lucky and blessed…that another family started homeschooling in our ward, the price family!  they are an awesome family, and we get together once a week, rotating science or art.  our kids love to play together too, and get along really well.  science right now is botany, and art is meet the masters curriculum…we’ve studied van gogh, picasso, and monet so far.

we have loved having friends to learn with, and play with.  so much fun, so grateful to have some buddies!

so jarom has had to go have client meetings and fly fish with them.  and they have a guide, who also nets their fish for them…pretty nice.  i love that he gets to do these things…fly fishing, skiing, mountain biking, all with clients.  i love that he loves what he does.  what a blessing!

any long weekend is always appreciated…in fact i think work weeks should be four days long, and the weekend three days long.  it’s just not enough time to spend together!

we had quite a few adventures this day.  downtown denver for an art exhibit, then went to the nature and science museum, ran into a huge puerto rican gathering with music and food vendors, then dad took the girls fishing at the reservoir.  if only we had more weekends like this!

i know a lot of parents love it when their kids are gone to school.  i’m not one of them.  i love being with my kids.  i love spending time with them.  alex is a sophomore this year, and that means 6:00am seminary, school, and then she does homework until 9:30 every night.  i miss this munchkin!

but it’s not like i don’t have things to do-homeschooling the other 3!  they are getting so big, so smart, and so talented.  i love seeing them growing, developing skills, understanding more, and i love playing with them.  even though we homeschool year round, we love to take new school year pic’s in the fall with alex.

oh, a favorite thing to do of ours is get in a couple of rockies games.  we love having our kids experience something that is thread into our american culture and history.  yes, baseball…singing take me out to the ball game, spitting sunflower seeds.  it’s tradition!

bee lake, just a small lake, but so much fun.  our friends invited us to enjoy a family tradition of theirs just for the day, and it was lovely.  the girls were wakeboarding, tubing, jarom was skiing…so much fun.  our friends actually lease a site along the lake for the whole summer, and they live in their rv there every weekend.  i doubt i’d ever buy a boat, but it’s fun going out once in a while with friends who have one.  what a memorable day!
