Go Rockies!!!

Jordyn and I went to down to Denver today to see a Rockies game!  Christy couldnt go with us, so she gave us her tickets and then dropped us off at the stadium...she is awesome!

 It was hotter than hell down there...91 degrees, but we brought plenty of water to soak our hair and our shirts, and we also spent a lot of time walking around in the shady parts of the stadium.

 We also ate our way around the stadium....starting with popcorn and lemonade....then chocolate covered bacon...

 then to cool off we enjoyed a frozen yogurt bar with unlimited tasty toppings...jordyn went for M&M's, nuts, cherries, brownies, gummy bears and whipped cream served in a souvenir helmet, while i had raspberries, blackberries, nuts and a brownie.  YUM!  Nice and cool on a super hot day!

 It was a great day at the ball park and the Rockies beat the Pirates 11-5!!!!  Thanks soooo much for such an awesome afternoon Christy!

Jordyns Trip to Texas ~

 Jordyn went on a trip to Texas with Aunt LeAnn this weekend!  They went out for cousin Vicente's high school graduation.  This was Jordyns first big trip away without her parents, and she was a little nervous, but she had a good time!  Here are some photos she took while there...

She called me from the airport when they were on the shuttle to let me know she planned to call me whenever something cool happened.  She called us at least 4 times that first day...I think she missed us a bit!  But look...she got to meet baby Roman, the newest cousin!  Good times!

Spotted Coralroot

Its been a few years since one of these have appeared on the property, so I was excited to see one appear right near the ditch by my garden...a spotted coralroot...and there were actually 3 of them.  Such a pretty flower!

Feels Like Summer ~

It's definitely starting to feel like summer now...sun tea brewing out on the porch, half the garden planted, and making my second batch of strawberry rhubarb jam. Hooray for sunshine!!!  Meanwhile, Jordyn is in Texas with her Great Aunt LeAnn, having fun with the cousins and giving me updates about every 4 hours :)  Miss you too sweetheart!

Cocktails at Connie's Cove ~

Kickin off the summer with some martinis in Connies Cove....Good Times!  :)

Creative Summer ~

Jordyn and I have set a goal for ourselves this summer....we must do something creative every day! :On day one, we worked in our art journals. On day two we organized our beads/tools and researched jewelry making to make earrings today, and today she made this pair of earrings. I made several pair, trying to get my groove on working with wire.  Its gonna be a colorful summer!

Pancake Breakfast ~

This morning was the Lion's Club pancake breakfast in Red Feather.  Kids going into 5th grade help serve the breakfast to earn money for Eco Week (5th grade camp).  Jordyn was excited to help serve breakfast now that she's a "big" 5th grader, and at the end of her shift she earned an extra $10 to keep for herself.  Now she has some fun money for her trip to Texas with Aunt LeAnn!
