Summer in Colorado

OK - being a Colorado native, I am pretty open to any weather. I will admit that I love the cool days we have been having the past few days, for the most part. My complaint is.....why when Memphis was in school did we have 90+ days, but now that he is off track we have cool days? Hard to make it to the pool on the cooler days since it is outside. Seems like since we are members for free through our association dues, that we should utilize it more.

We have been busy, as usual. Memphis finished t-ball and got a trophy for participation. He was so proud showing it to everyone. He even let his brother touch it for about 15 seconds. He was so happy about getting a trophy and put it next to his soccer trophy from a couple of years ago. He wants to play soccer again this fall. Maverick says he wants his daddy to be his coach, but he isn't old enough quite yet.

We made the trek to Estes Park with Scott's parents for a day. Such a beautiful part of Colorado. Memphis and Maverick got to see where their Gramps goes every year horseback riding with the Rooftop Riders. They also got to ride a horse. Memphis was pretty happy that his horse pooped. Wow, to be 5 again! Maverick was tough to keep out of the river. As usual, he just wanted to get wet. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

We went to Build-A-Bear with my mom. The boys got gift cards for their birthdays from our friends, Tim and Kris from Grand Junction. They had so much fun. Memphis ended up with a cat that is dressed in police clothes (for those who don't know, Memphis wants to be a police officer when he grows up). The cat's name is Officer Oldham. Maverick got a puppy and enjoyed the "bath" that you are supposed to give the animals. His dog is named Timmy, and wears pajamas and slippers.

We are staying busy so far while Memphis is off track. He goes back to school in mid-August. Maybe the weather will warm up so we can enjoy the pool. Maverick says he wants to go to preschool, but I told him that he needs to poop and potty in the toilet first. He replied, "Maverick no go school". He has no interest. Every so often he asks to go on the potty, but mostly just likes to sit down for a minute and laugh and then be done. What is annoying, is that he has gone before in the toilet and actually showed interest a few months ago. I know it will happen, but when????????

Well, hope everyone is well.
