June 2013


“Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.” 
― Bill Ayers

Deer resting on the hillside outside our window


Home school day at Dinosaur Ridge



We found a local farmer in Indian Hills, Co to buy grass fed beef and eggs from. 





Happy 39th birthday to Mark!!!!  





Ella had art camp in June!  She went 4 hours a day for 5 days. She loved it so she might go back in July. 





Gordon had to visit art camp everyday, he can't wait until it's his turn to go! 




The kids climb in and out of this window to play in the backyard at art camp.  I love this place! 



Poppies growing across the street.

Evergreen farmers market has free train rides.  Gordon's new favorite thing!

Met an old friend at Golden Splash park 










My friend, Noelle, who I have known since she was born 21 years ago came to Colorado for a visit!  Noelle and I had a busy week touring this beautiful state.  Here are some photos of us doing the advanced course of whitewater rafting on Clear Creek in Idaho Springs.

Reminiscing with candy cigarettes - we used to ride bike to the Ben Franklin to buy these when we were little.  We found them at a candy store in Evergreen.

Balloon lady was at Beau Jo's! 


Noelle took a hot air balloon ride in Boulder, CO.  We got up at 3:30 am!

  1. Love these, as always. The white water rafting looked serious! ...and Ella's self-portraits were priceless.
