summer

I've fallen behind with my blog. The months have been passing by so quickly. I have loved Colorado's mild summer, with thunderstorms to cool the air every afternoon. We have kept busy with visiting friends, a little bit of traveling, starting projects on our home and a couple classes for Evelyn. Evelyn got a good black eye after slipping on some water and hitting a clay pot.
She took a clay/sculpture class at the Arvada Center and is finishing up her first set of swimming lessons. I gave her my giant box of barbies that I had been saving since I was a kid. It's been fun to see my old 'friends' and to see her imagination at work.
My dear friend Candice came out for a few days. It was so refreshing to catch-up with her after all these years. Evelyn adored her and was heartbroken when she left! I hope we'll see her again soon.
We spent some time in Minnesota for my grandma's memorial service and last weekend we enjoyed our annual time in Cheyenne for Frontier Days (aka Daddy of 'Em All rodeo).
