4th of july weekend

happy 4th from finley + kaia!

we found a new dog park in denver to go to! so much fun!

finley rolling in the grass after swimming!

we met finley's twin at the park! this was the 1st lab i've ever seen that actually really looks like fin. she was a year and a half older and her name was gracie! when they were running around, i couldn't tell them apart! can you?

finny swimming trying to get the duck!

after the park - they were exhausted!!

4th of July 2010

what's better than beer in a mason jar on the 4th? nothing...

i decided to make rice krispy treat "popsicles." you can tell fin is helping by her nose in the bottom of the photo.

my little kitchen helpers!

although they didn't look pretty, they tasted good!

OUR 4TH OF JULY DISASTER!

in the afternoon on the 4th, our landlord hired tree cutters who ended up sawing off a 30 foot piece of our tree on our electric wires - leaving us without power for 1.5 hours and without internet for 3 days! they were so sketchy and even ate their nasty lunch on my patio furniture! so disgusted. it is funny now, however, not at the time!

live wires on our ground that the other dude was raking. really smart!

gross!

a couple randoms...

this is the outside of the Rembrandt Yard in boulder - where the guzman's had their wedding reception. how beautiful is it?

at conor o'neils for the USA/Ghana soccer game. it was packed!

father's day 2010

the patio table with my new madras fabric tablecloth i found at hancock fabrics!

aric trying to shoot a squirrel that was in our tree with his bb gun! this was hilarious because the squirrel kept taunting him and making noises at him!

he got him a couple of times, but alas, the squirrel didn't go away for awhile!

the girls trying to figure out why they aren't eating what we are eating!

john, debbie, aric & the girls

happy father's day!

sorry this is so late - but i just downloaded my pictures from our father's day dinner with aric's parents, john & debbie. we had a great time hanging out outside, eating and playing scattegories.
