The Beginning of Growth

I took these pictures the first of June and will take some new ones in July (the plants have already grown so much)!  I love the summer for this reason.  The flowers, the plants, the trees, the vegetables are all so beautiful.  Watching these plants transform is so much fun!

Everything is coming along....You will be surprised by the changes in July!

New Projects Update

We began with the idea of wanting a fire pit.  The next decision was where to put it.  We decided right off the deck was the best for easy access and limited amount of removing grass.  This is where we began.

Picking out the bricks, cobblestone and stones was not easy, especially because we really didn't want to spend tons of money.  I think our choices turned out very nice!

The U shaped cement blocks are going to be seating actually.  We are placing some heavier stones on top and the open area will be for extra chairs.  The cement blocks Ben is actually tiling (to save some money).   I can't wait for it to be done!!!

Pikes Peak Fishing

Canoeing across the Catamount Reservoir in one of the many lakes around Pikes Peak, so much fun!

The fish, the sun and the wonderful time with my honey!!!

Custer State Park Free Weekend May, 2010

We had such a great time at the Custer State Park Free Weekend at the end of May, 2010.  We enjoyed free fishing, a free pancake feed at Legion Lake and a fishing derby with Ryan and Nick at Sylvan Lake.  The time spent with our family was priceless.  Thank you for being so wonderful family!!
