THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now grown) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Last Friday...

DateThursday, June 16, 2016 at 09:16PM

And here are some of the pictures of everyone just hanging out together throughout the day...

Micah and Makenna arm-wrestling:

Zach and his son, Quinn, comparing height:

Asher encouraging Alice on the slide:


Some from each family hanging out:


Asher helping Blaze on the swing: (Asher and Micah took it in turns to be Blaze-minders)

Zach tormenting Micah:

Makenna playing with the baby boys, Evan and Case:

 
And a bunch of kiddos heading out into the orchard to play some sort of capture the flag/tag/hide and seek game:

 
Eventually, we headed back to Yakima for the night. (Mom's house was rather full with the other three families who don't live in Prosser, lol...staying in Yakima provided more time for visiting with Nathan's parents...and Noah's allergic to cats.)
