Hiking in Wray

The wide open expanses of the Colorado prarie are evident here at home. It is revitalizing to me.

Auburn's 1st Baseball Game

Last Sunday was a BEAUTIFUL day and who can resist a baseball game on opening weekend when it is sunny and 80 degrees out. After church Cody and Auburn and I headed down to the ballpark to pick up tickets and watch batting practice. We got there early enough to get a parking spot on the street 2 blocks from Coors Field and because it was Sunday parking meters are free. Bonus! We bought burritos, peanuts and drinks from the vendors outside the park and took our lunch in to watch the Rockies warm up. In the end Auburn made it to the end of the 3rd inning but in fairness including batting practice and all we had been at the park for four hours. It was a successful day I think!

Easter Sunday

Night Out @ Sing Sing

Cody and I had a great (and rare) night out at Sing Sing in downtown Denver. Sing Sing is a fairly crass but entertaining dueling panio bar across the street from Coors Field. Cody and I went down with Jen & John Jaquish and Cassie & Jason Weber as well as with Cassie's brother Wade and cousin Jess. It was a lot of fun and there was even a camio by a very crazily dressed marching type band who played Holla Back. Very fun and great entertainment. Part of the deal there is to request songs. We didn't request a song but we did request that they get Big John on stage to do the splits. A couple of the players know John so they wanted to see this too and got him up there. You haven't seen amazing until you see a 6'3" 350lb guy do the full splits!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Grandma Patti gave Auburn some ink filled q-tips for coloring eggs. Auburn and Daddy colored eggs the day before Easter for hiding and eating the next day.

Cody's sense of humor

Cody had a professional photo shoot a month ago in a residence that he designed and he asked the photographer to take this one. He thought he was hilarious.

Trying on gifts

Cody brought back gifts from Bolivia. They knit and weave beautiful hats, gloves, scarves and poncho type items. I'm embracing the return of the 80's garb and so Cody brought back a beautiful pair of leg warmers with lama's on them and a hat to match. Auburn thought it would be a good time to try on mom's gifts. Here is her version.
