School and catch up

William had fun playing at the park.

So did Grace.

Olivia loved getting to run thru the water at the splash park.

Here is my dad and the 2 teenagers watching us have fun at the splash park.

Aren't you tempted to run through to get cooled off.

William looks so thrilled I know but this was the only picture he would let me take. He is officially now a High Schooler. He started in August and has ridden the city bus everyday to school. He enjoys the hour plus ride I think at least most the time.

Rotar Family BBQ

This last Sunday we were able to go up to Berthoud to enjoy a fsmily BBQ with the Rotar side of the family.

Jen and Holly

The kids playing Wii

It's always had to get a good picture with little kids who would rather be playing than getting a picture taken.

We finally got a family picture of us with the kids.

Dan and Mom Rotella

The Tyler and Harrison enjoyed watching Bolt.

River waterslide

While camping most everyone hiked to a natural water slide in the river. Looks like lots of fun but really cold.

Annie and Autumn look really cold but they sure enjoyed themselves.

Here is my dad. I think he lost his breath a little bit from the cold water.

Last week storm

Last Thursday there was a huge storm that moved into town. We just got a lot of rain and some hail on this end of town. Ken's mom lives in Wheat Ridge and was awoken to a loud noise. When she looked outside she found the source. One of the tall Blue Spruce trees in her front yard was now on the neighbors garage. Wheat Ridge got the gale force winds and caused quite a lot of damage. Luckily no one was hurt.

Mom's Birthday

We Played in the sprinklers.

Ken and Joseph played ball.

After all that playing it really makes you need a rest.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

On July 1st we celebrated my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!!

Joseph helped with the cake. He loved taking the candles out and licking the candles.

As you can tell he really enjoyed eating the cake as well.

Camping and investigating

Ken and I went to investigate the new hunting grounds for this hunting season. Ken had to cut a few trees out of our path

and move a few rocks out of the road to get thru.

But we were able to enjoy our journey

We looked over the land and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

We enjoyed the views of the area.

We saw some animals. This is the only picture I ended up getting.

At the end of the day we enjoyed a very nice view at sunset.

8th grade Continuation

William attended his 8th Grade continuation from Omar D Blair Charter School on Friday
May 29, 2009. He is now officially a High Schooler.

These are his Friends Gerald and Robbie.
Robbie and William are really good friends and we are sad that they will not be attending the same High School. Hopefully they can continue to be good friends.

Korilyn's Wedding

My Friend from church and High School got married on May 30th. I was able to go to her wedding and help to celebrate with her. She seems to have married a very nice man Eldon. I am so excited for the two of you. Congrats!!
