Flag Football

Sam's obsession with football means that of course he's pumped to be old enough for flag football.  I thought peewee basketball was the funniest thing I've ever watched.  Flag football was a close second. 

Denver Shaps

All the Shappees were together in Denver and it was the most fun we've had in a long time!  Sam still talks about his cousins.

We visited the Air Force Academy:

 Sweet, sweet Lauren...and Sam's face!

Uncle Dave completing the perfect photo bomb!

All the gorgeous Shappee grandkids with Grammy and Grandpa:

And the original Shappee "kids" back together again...which obviously means shenanigans.  :-)

Then we did a quick stop at Garden of the Gods:

I'm not sure why Sam kept making this face in his pics with Lauren:

The Denver Shaps took us to Breckenridge which was so so fun and so so beautiful!

And on our last day there, Grammy, J, Sam, and I headed to the Denver zoo which was awesome!

Kindergarten!

I try really hard not to hyperventilate when I say that Sam is headed to Kindergarten in a little over a week.  He is super excited.  Mommy not so much.

Today was so nice out that we took Sam over to the school for some pics since it is a bit hard on the first day to get good pictures with all the drop off craziness.

Outer Banks

My parents once again graciously invited us to vacation with them.  This year, they rented a house in the Outer Banks.  Sam's first beach visit!  He was nervous about all the sand and hated when it was in his shoes but was a pro beach bum by the second day.  :-)
