Flowers

I finally got all of my pots planted for the summer. All we have left to do is plant 6 more annuals and design the rock garden. I am even trying to have a mini garden with tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, green, red and yellow bell peppers and cucumbers. Not sure how it will do but it is exciting to eat fresh food!

I will be very sad when we finally move out of this house after all of this work, I think I will be taking my Columbines with me!

Pink

If you have not heard the song Dear Mr. President by Pink and the Indigo Girls you should, it is amazing.

Summer reading

I would recommend Eat Pray Love and anything by Jodi Picoult for this summer.

Rock Star

If I had been doing a good job blogging this would have been posted on May 16th the day after Down Maddie's show at Buffalo Rose in Golden. This is the first show with new lead singer Leanne (you rock girl!!)

Yummy

This is the first year of the three years we have had a cherry tree that it is finally producing fruit. I can't wait to make a cherry pie (or tort if I don't get enough cherries!!)

Awwwwww . . .

I am so proud of the back area that Nick built me a few years ago. My fountain is up and running for the summer and my Columbines are growing like crazy. I can't wait to spend my nights in the backyard cooking and hanging out with family and friends this summer.

Been a while

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I was in a nasty car accident on May 12 and have been fighting with the insurance company over my Jeep (which is still in the shop and we think should be scrapped) and I am in therapy for my back injuries. This year has just sucked and I can't wait for 2009.

Happy Mother's Day

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers or soon to be mother's! My family went to a wonderful brunch at Lone Tree. The food was amazing and eaten too quickly to take any pictures!

Summer purse

I like the idea of a nice light tote for the summer. I just ordered this one online at Old Navy. Thanks Sara for the idea!

The Marathon Runner

I have to send tribute to my girl Leanne for her marathon run this weekend in Fort Collins. It was a rough downhill course and the race started at the un-Godly hour of 6:00 am. Without really training Leanne did a monster run!

I commend you for all that work, it would definitely kill me!

30th Birthday Bash

I know this is a little out of order but I finally pulled some of my blurry birthday pictures off of my camera. Turning 30 was really difficult for me for some reason. I had been unemployed for the three months leading up to my birthday and waivered on whether or not I even wanted to celebrate. At the last minute I found a cute dress and decided that we would all go to Purple Martini. It was definitely worth it, I had a great time.

As you can tell by the camera men they were having a great time too. Sorry it is so blurry!

Memory Lane and turning 30

I have been taking a trip down memory lane these last few days and came across some great pictures from my bachelorette party I thought I should share. We have come along way in the last six years since these pictures were taken. It's exciting to think we are all entering the next phase of our lives with weddings, houses and babies.

Maybe our 30s will be even better than our 20s, we can only hope!

Whoa Mexico

Jose - 3 years old (The baby and the boss or so he thinks)

He is beginning to hate that Colorado winters go into June sometimes. We just had a 80 degree Wed. and blizzard on Thurs. Jose just sings Whoa Mexico!

The B-I-G B-O-I

Hercules - 7 or 8 years old we think (our adopted boy)

In the beginning . . .

I have been inspired by my BFF Sara to start my own blog. Since all of us girls from college are all over the world these days it's a good way to keep in touch. I am slow to join the internet revolution but I think it's about time. I'm on Facebook and Linked In and have more email accounts then I can remember the passwords for.

For those of you who have yet to meet my menagerie that is a good place to start. I am almost running a zoo at my house with two Siberian Huskies, a Chihuahua and three fish. These are our babies in lieu of babies!
