Happy 2nd of July!

The Constitution of the United States took effect on this day in 1788

It's the greatest day EVER!

NATIONAL BOMB POP DAY * The Bomb Pop, invented in 1955 on Independence Ave. in Kansas City, MO, has roots in true Americana. This six-finned summertime treat is used to celebrate patriotism in conjunction with Fourth of July celebrations.

Where have all the flowers gone?

I got 2 pink rose bushes called "Nearly Wild Roses" that are going to help keep Hannah B. out of the flower bed.

I also picked up a lovely tall Delphinium. A gorgeous Lupine. 2 lovely yellow Corpelis. Some Black Eyed Susans. An orange thing called a Blanket flower. Oh, and 2 Clematis (44% off) to climb up the trellis. Keep your fingers crossed.

Guess who had cereal for lunch?

Clearly a woman who enjoys Rice Chex!

Why Courtney got Fired!

I pulled into the driveway after work last week to find Cameron looking like this....



Yep - he's wearing his pajama shirt, blue jeans, flip flops and swim goggles. And she let him go outside in the neighborhood! And he couldn't figure out why I thought this was an unacceptable outfit!
(PS - Of course she's not really fired. I like to fire her about once a week just to keep her on her toes. We would be lost without the lovely and talented Courtney)

Our life IS the show sometimes

Trail Through Time

So, the kids and I were driving home from Colorado when we came across a sign that read, "Trail Through Time." Of course, we HAD to pull over and check it out... and are we glad we did... the kids got to actually touch an actual fossilized diplodachus skeleton spread out in the rocks. We also saw lizards and took in some great views of Rabbit Valley on the Utah-Colorado border. It was a nice diversion from a long ride home in the truck. Enjoy!
