A little adventure….

We were staying in the mountains for the weekend with some friends.  We had a great day, the kids were all ready for bed and playing downstairs while the adults were in the kitchen.  

All of a sudden there was banging on the door and flashlights in the window.  We were a little startled!

We opened the door to two police officers.  They were responding to a 911 call from this address……Hmmm…. The officers were very nice.  They walked through the house to make sure everything was ok.  Then we gathered the 11 kids together (or at least the 8 older kids) for a talk about calling 911.  

I was trying to get a picture of their faces.  There were some VERY nervous faces!

I think it was a lesson learned for everyone :)

All tucked in after our eventful evening!

I am so thankful to have such good friends.  Friends that Allen and I always look forward to spending time with and their kids who are such good friends to our kids.  We have shared a lot of fun adventures and memories together.  I hope that our kids can continue to grow up and have each other.

Rylee at the gym

A family of a cute girl on Rylee's soccer team opened a gym and invited Allen and Rylee over to check it out.

I think they had fun.

Take your kids to work day!

Porter and Sidney look forward to this every year!

Janus invites the kids who are 6-12 to come to Take your kids to work day.

They have a whole  schedule.  Meetings, conference calls, classes, and presentations.

And of course some quality time with Dad.

I can't believe this is Porter's last year!

And Rylee is so excited to finally get to go next year :)

Avs game!

Having fun at the Avalanche hockey game! 

The kids loved it. They even got t shirts from someone walking by in the hall.

Great little fans!
