Frank
See that tough guy on the left there? That would be Uncle Frank. Vet, vetrinarian, motorcycle man, and all around teddy-bear-of-a-guy. What better way to show him how great FoCo is (he was in town for a conference) than to meet him for Thai food? Hilarious that, only in a college town, there would be TWO Thai restaurants within half a block of each other. Would you believe that we were in one while he waited patiently in the other? We had a blast. The twins were holding his hands and skipping across the street with him by the time the night was over. Great stories, great catching up. Great fun.
Frontier
Like true westerners, we headed to Cheyenne Frontier Days this week. Summer and Sage braved the heat with us.
Isabel and Kennedy riding the "Bimbo Ride". Um, Isabel? That would be DUMBO. Aaaaah, that girl. Never ceases to make us laugh.
Milo trying to snug Porter in the ride. They were both a little uncertain. Two uncertainties made for one good time in the end.
All of the big kids sat on the log benches and watched the Native American dancers. Isabel was in heaven. She loves anything dance-related and anything Native American. Heaven.
Cute Beckett watching the parade. Well, mostly drooling and eating but still.
Porter "watching" the parade. The intense heat did interesting things to our children. There was, literally, one child having a meltdown every single minute of the outing. Literally.
Summer with all the kiddos watching the good, the bizarre, and the downright risque floats go by. See those adorable redheaded girls? Go anywhere with her and you will feel like a celeb. Summer gets stopped ALL THE TIME by red-hair-admirers.Finalization
And this guy. Honestly, how cute is he? Two things you should know--actually three.
1. He has two teeth!!
2. He is going to see his birthmom next week. We are very excited but nervous for her.
3. We have court date for our finalization hearing!!!! Sept. 4th we will go before the family court judge, assure him that all is well and that this is a good fit and then...TADA!!! He will be ours for good. :) (Like he isn't already. We realize it is just a formality but it really is a very, very big deal for us. :) )

First- I am stealing some of your pics for my blog. Second, you are not suppose to post pictures of my fat a@! but I still like you, mostly. Third, that is the cutest damn picture of Keeler EVER! On our drive home Ken said about the whole day "wow Mom, that was quite an adventure." Yes, yes it was.
YAYAY! Baby Keeler will be yours for REAL! (acknowledging that he already is - duh) That is great! I so so so so wish I could be there! SO!
ps eli loves the picture. hahaha i love it!
Looks like you all had a lot of fun. Keeler looks so big in that picture. I love his rockin hat!!
I'm so excited for you guys and Keeler! My cousin just went and they had finalized their adoption just a few days ago. It's a relief. Of course it's a big deal! =) Good luck with the birthmom and I hope the conversations come easily and aren't awkquard.
Okay so "very. very big deal" is a TOTAL understatement!!!! I am so excited for you! Ours is just a big fat mess that seems to never end. We thought that it would be done next month....that was before our attorney in South Carolina FORGOT about us!!!!!! Anyhoo...someday this roller coaster will stop. I hope. I'm so happy that you have a date!
yay on the finalization. yay on the teeth. we were at that parade... and yes, there were some totally dodgey floats! seriously, a "family parade", common Saloon girls, cover up a bit!
