We have a COWBOY!!!
I walked the botanical garden a few days ago and it is just so great!
Had a big closet clean out with Reid… two HUGE sacks full to donate. 
And still a huge closet full of clothes. I guess that is what happens when you have two older siblings of the same gender. 
No more babies….
We had family friends visit USAFA and take Grant out to eat! Thanks, Hazzards!
Meet Sadie!
Dressed as an autumn and as a summer heading out!
Jason is getting so close to his commercial grade gate being finished. May wrap it up within four months of the start date. 🤞
KLIFE house - Scraping ceilings and pulling up nail strips… a little progress every week. 
Grant and Will climbed the Manitou Incline on Sunday! Whew! Nearly 2800 steps (190 floors of 9’ ceiling rooms)


Solar lights at the KLIFE house that Maria and I had a fun time putting in.

Life, Boys State dinner, YouthQuake, USAFA Jump

Where's Eddie?!?!
There he is!
KLIFE house is coming along great! The deck has been redone, expanded and the concrete pad is ready for the Director's car to park.
The picture doesn't do the pile justice... It is HUGE.
Will have electricity and party lights around the firepit.
new marketing signs
Kyle was invited to speak at the American Legion dinner to share about his Boys State experience. He did such a great job!
Grant was awesome and had a Jedi patch made for both of his brothers with their "anticipated" graduation dates.
A made a few new designs for the parent facebook page. My favorite one wasn't the one picked but it was fun to try some stuff (top one was picked).
YouthQuake 2024!
Kyle loves this camp - camping in a tent with some of his best friends.
Colt.
Jack.
from a sponsor mom! Breakfast at a hotel before they head out.


Senior boys
"Drippy Dog" as Reid was calling him.
Volleygirls (minus Ashley) summer 2024 team.
Grant's third period of summer break is "Jump."
Guy, Levi (current roommate), and G
Scorecard after the first one - he got a Q1 - which is terrific.
Jason, Reid and I were able to go watch. Due to changing weather, we only saw one jump and had hoped to see two, but that's okay!
His proud, funny, dorky dad with binoculars.
Their football stadium has been under construction for a few years. We were really sad when we saw the initial plans thinking the Air Force words would be hidden from I-25 BUT THEY'RE NOT!
Here's Grant!
It was a very cool experience to see our son 1. jump and 2. do such a great job (2nd jump was a Q1 as well) and 3. be so happy!
We went hiking in Manitou Springs
and explored downtown COS which we haven't really done yet.
and played 18 holes of minigolf where Grant was officially crowned king, again.
Happy birthday to Dad! #72
OSU looks really pretty right now.
