Yard and house work

Moving rock. Slow, tedious work. Big rocks. A bobcat would be nice, but I think I can get it with shovel and wheelbarrow. Will expand the yard by 10-15 ft in some places. Just the first of many steps to get the yard where we want it. 

Painting! Natalie's adding some red to the kitchen. I love it! It really pops. 

I tore out the barberry bushes along the front of the house. I despise those things!! Spent too much time in my childhood trimming and cleaning up after those things! Some native low water flowering shrubs and a coffee patio set will take their place. 

Sky sox and Family on the 4th

Smoke n Brew & Pickleball

Yesterday we headed up to Evergreen to see my cousin Steve and enjoy some home brews and BBQ. It was great to see some extended family as well as meet some new people. We even had a little private concert courtesy of Bill Poss. 

Pickleball was my favorite activity in high school PE. I've continued to play a few times a year since then. Fortunately, it's also a favorite sport of people in Colorado. So my brother in law and I headed out to check out the courts yesterday. We also played today... So much fun, and amazing outdoor courts in the shadow of Pikes Peak. So good being back in Colorado!

Happy Birthday

To my 3 yr old baby girl!!!

Moving is rough on blogging

Just been so tired. And busy. And tired... A few pics from the new locale. 

Rough month

For blogging. Been so busy packing and closing and other moving prep. We also got a new car. Getting close!

Honda Pilot!
