The Karlsons in Hawaii

Marlo Gone Fishin

After, I don't know how many years, he finally brought home some fish worth eating. I guess they finally put fish in the Los Pinos. Dinner was good, I mean delicious.

Wind Rivers 2011 - the few the proud

 Hiking out after a few great days!!!

 What a good looking group. (Some were definitely missed)

 A new use for a great fishing hole.

 Trying to wake up Keaton and Shad.

 Still the best fishing hole!!!!

No bears this year!!! But lots of mosquitoes.

Stephen's Home!

All fours

Cohen surprised us yesterday by supporting himself on his hands and knees. He then tried to scoot forward looking a little like Bambi trying to walk for the first time.  I'm not sure how far actual crawling is from this point, but I'm sure we will be missing our chubby, immobile baby in no time :)

May and June in the Manwaring House

So a crazy May and June in Broomfield. We had Prom, Mormon Prom, Mitchell's Lacrosse season, Katelynn and Madeline's graduation, Mitchell's 5th grade continuation, Keaton and Fallyn finished Middle School, Morgan got her driver's license, Keaton started his first job selling concessions, Morgan is working concessions and got a job as a Lifeguard, Katelynn is working as a Lifeguard, Keaton and Mike had High Adventure Scout Camp, Kenna, and girls had Girl's Camp, the boys are playing Tennis, Keaton has done 2 basketball tournaments and a basketball camp, Mitchell had 11 year old Scout camp and did a basketball camp plus he is doing swim team and diving, we just got an exchange student from Spain for two weeks (I don't yet have any pictures of her) and we celebrated Marita and Bruce's 5oth birthday. (This only includes the stuff my family is involved in.) Here are some pictures of what that has involved though I don't have pictures of Bruce's birthday (Marita needs to post those) and I just realized I need to take some more pictures of what the kids are currently doing. Despite being super busy we are doing well and hope you are too. Hope to see everyone in Manassa for the 24th!

To Celebrate Marita's 5oth birthday we took her to Downtown Denver and took a tour of the Molly Brown House, had lunch at the Rodizzio Grill and then toured the Governor's Mansion. The next day we went and got Pedicures. It was a lot of fun. We missed those who couldn't make it and think that we need to do this more often. Here is Teresa, Marita and Janela waiting for the tour at the Molly Brown House
