ANOTHER lost tooth & more...

Tye lost another tooth last night!  Exciting!

A little water fun at the park in Denver before we head to good ol' Walmee.

Waiting on the rock for the boys to come down the slide.

Here come daddy and Tysen!

And there they go!

Now comes Jake!

And he swims right out of it!

Heading back up the hill to the slide.

Little snorkelers and a kicker.

With mommy's personalized swim lessons,

the boys are now both able to swim across the pool in the deep end taking up to 5 breaths without a break!  We are so proud of the progress they have made this summer.  Joss...well, she's a little too adventurous for her own good, letting go of her noodle in the deep end trying to be like her brothers!  Thankfully, mommy or daddy are never more than 2 feet away for moments like those.  Yikes!  We can't get enough of the water!

Six Flags Waterpark

Another 1st for the Haddad kids...

We spent the day today at Elitch Garden's Water Kingdom. 

It was a blast and a half!

Don't let 'em fool ya. 

It was a whopping 96 degrees in Denver today!

This is NOT us...but we all went down the Family Raft Slide...yes, including the bravest little girl ever!

(Yes, Ms. Mismatched-Crocs picked 2 right feet this morning.)

Jake has conquered the midsized slides all by himself.

And both boys can ride the BIG, BIG slides (and rides in the amusement park) with mom or dad.

Happy Father's Day!

Nick worked most of today, so we are celebrating Father's Day on Thursday and Friday of this week. 

We did enjoy some cake that the kids made, even Tysen who is recovering well from Strep Throat.

Happy Father's Day, guys.

Strep Throat! :(

Here's Tye 2 days ago,

hiking, picnicking, climing poles, etc.

That very night, Tye came down with a crazy fever,

headache, stomach ache, rashy red throat and vomiting!

We took him to the Doctor and

the lab results came back today...

stinking Strep Throat. 

(Though, ever the great trooper, Tye's still smiling!)

Joss so far hasn't come down with it.

And "Jacob's Ladder" building, "Chinese Jump Roping" Jake, is still Strep free as far as we can tell.

RVing and Quadding

We just returned home from our trip. 

It was a wonderful week of fishing, quadding, hiking and more.

Weather was in the 70s but turned cold last night

with light snow this morning.   

Tye was the wound king. 

But as usual, he was tough as nails even going so far

 as to pull out his very 1st baby tooth!

Snack stop.

Then, a little fishing.

Hope you're enjoying your summer as much as we are!

Love to all.
