We have a lot of catching up to do on this blog. . . . from March Madness being the last post to now it's already September! Wowza! Well, let's go back in time just to show off a super cute Easter picture and a shot of Annika with her "little lamb" that she fell in love with at the Hamilton Ranch this spring.

Our momentous occasion of the summer was Stephen turning 30. We were lucky to have so many friends to celebrate this mile marker with him.

Other than that - the summer was pretty much packed with fun, fun and more fun. Including lots of time spent with Annika's Aunt and Uncles. We were lucky enough to have David live with us all summer between his job and his new MBA program. We always get to see lots of Tom since he comes over here at least every weekend for guard, and we were able to go to Reno for Memorial Day to visit Nic and Kristin as well as having them join us for a fun-filled Cheyenne Frontier Days!! Here are some photos of it all:

Annika and Aunt Kristin with Kristin's horse Sonny or Yogi (Annika is sitting here telling me that she is sure it is Sonny)

Annika and Uncle Nic - hamming it up.


Annika loved having Uncle David around (she just said "Mom, I miss David and I want him to come back.)

When Annika wasn't basking in the praise of her Aunt and Uncles she was taking in every possible fun activity that a kid should enjoy in the summer with lots of her friends. Here are some great shots of Annika and her little buddies:

As always the summer is coming to a close all too quickly, but there are a few more of our activities that we thought we'd share pictures of:

We were able to attend a Rockies game on "fan appreciation day" where we got to meet lots of the players and go right down on the field behind home plate.

Annika joined us on quite a few rounds golf.

This is Annika on her first fishing trip.

Annika's favorite food this summer: corn on the cob.
We will probably be posting more frequently now that the days are getting shorter. Happy fall to everyone and we hope your summer was wonderful.

Annika is so adorable and getting so big! It's fun to at least get to see you all on your blog!
