Taggart's Lego Ninjago Birthday Party

 Taggart was so excited that the weather didn't postpone his Lego Ninjago Birthday Party.

Taggart's Fifth Birthday

Taggart's fifth birthday was extremely eventful. Unfortunately, school was cancelled because of flooding in Boulder County. He took advantage of the free day to open each and every gift and spend quality time assembling  and playing with them.

 

Nothing better than selecting your favorite dinner then having an ice cream sundae.

After the sundae, we decided to swing back by Daddy's office. Unfortunately, the flood waters had risen significantly so we had to drop him off so he and some co-workers could place sandbags and try to ensure that the water stayed out of the building. As we drove off, this was the view our little five year old had.

When you are five everything is amazing....this was extremely impactful. Yet, having school cancelled for three more days made it a little more exciting.

Piper riding the Strider

Piper is a little tired of watching her big brothers ride their bikes, so she decided that today was a great day to get on the Strider.

Piper's facial expression says enough

 She may not have moved real fast but she was moving. We are a little fearful that this could escalate rather quickly. After all she is our little daredevil.

Cruisin

 After a few minutes she seemed ready to move on to something bigger, steeper, faster, more dangerous...

Pointing to the road...Oh no!

Ryder has a new favorite sport! He went 4 for 4 today and played great defensively. He and the rest of the "green falcons" had a blast.
