New Walkway!!!

So we finished the patio last weekend, this weekend we finished the walkway from the garage to the patio!! It slopes nicely so that Gran Wilson can come and visit, and get inside easy (no more muddy tires!!) Daddy did a really nice job on it! Thanks so much Daddy.

Also this week we went to Spring Canyon Park with MOPS. It is such a COOL playground!!! There's a water area with spontaneous geysers, and a little kids playground, and a big kids playground, and GIANT rocks with caves and stuff!!! And it's all accessible!! Mommy says we won't go there to often, cuz it's too hard to keep track of me! But I loved it!! I got to play with my friends and run through the water!! But my favorite part was when I figured out how to climb on the rocks!!!

Mommy kept looking for me on the ground, and got scared cuz she couldn't find me, then looked up!! I told her she should know better than to look on the ground for me!! She just called me a monkey and made me get down.

Mommy gets to hike Long's Peak!! She going on this Tuesday, so look soon after for an update!! She's so excited!! It looks like it's going to be good weather too! Then on Friday Mommy's friend Camie is coming to visit!! Yay!! More visitors!! September is going to be a busy month for us!! Mommy's really busy with work, she gets to go to a conference in Breckenridge, and they do a big Birding Fair. Also, we get to go to the Colorado Railroad Museum and ride on Thomas the Train!!! I can't wait for that!!! And Greg might come too!! SO much going on!! Have a good Labor day weekend everyone!! and look for updates soon from Mommy's hike!

New Patio!!!

Sorry for the delay in updates everyone! We have just been so busy!! Let's see what all has happened in the last week . . . I got a haircut!! Finally!! But I haven't sat still long enough for Mommy to get a picture yet, so you'll have to wait for it! Hopefully we can get one before I need another haircut!! Ummm . . . what else . . . we went to Mommy's work party, and I got to ride on a boat!!! It was my first time, and I had so much Fun!! I didn't even mind the life jacket I had to wear! But Mommy forgot her camera, so we don't have pictures of that either! Today we went to dinner with Mommy's friend Ashley from high school. She came out to visit for a wedding reception and we got to see her. Mommy said it was fun to catch up since they haven't seen each other in almost ten years!! I just like having people visit, especially new ones who I can show off for!

Also this week Mommy and Daddy have been working hard to get our new patio put in. There's a gap between the deck off the dining room, and the concrete pad off the family room, and Mommy and Daddy always wanted to connect the two to make a big patio, and they finally did it!! Here's what it looked like before:

They worked REALLY HARD on it, well, Mostly Daddy - cuz Mommy spent most of the time keeping me out of Daddy's way!! First they had to dig out a bunch of dirt, 7 inches Daddy said. I got to help a little with that part. Then they had to put down a bunch of rock and use a big machine to flatten it out. Then came the sand, I really wanted to play with that, but they still wouldn't let me help!! Last night Mommy and Daddy worked late into the night to get most of the stones laid, cuz we could only rent the machine for a certain amount of time. But it's all finished now!!! Mommy even got a new Flower bed by the stairs!! Here's the finished product:

Next weekend Daddy's going to do the walkway from the patio to the garage. He says that won't take as long cuz he won't have to cut as many stones!

Well, Mommy doesn't know if she'll get to hike up to Long's Peak this year! She planned the trip this week with her co-workers, but now no one can go. And this isn't really a hike that you do alone!! But there is a possibility that she can go next week. so we will have to wait and see!! She really wants to do it this year!! Tomorrow I get to see my friends from MOPS!!! We have another play date at the park. Oh yeah - and I almost forgot!! Mommy got a raise at work!!! And she gets to stay Full-Time until the end of NOVEMBER!!! Yeah Mommy!! Well, have a good week everyone!!

Fun times

Sorry for the delayed update everyone!! I’ve just been so busy!! After I had such a blast at the zoo, Mommy and Daddy thought that I would have fun at the fair. So Last weekend we went to the Larimer County Fair. But I didn’t like it as much as the Zoo, the animals were too close, and liked to sniff me!! Here's me trying to get away from the pig!

Mommy liked the alpacas (again!) and wants to get one (again!) Silly Mommy - we don't have room for an alpaca!!

But I did finally touch a bunny rabbit, and it was really soft!!

Then on Tuesday Mommy and I went to Horsetooth Reservoir to go swimming, and we took Greg and his Mommy too!! We all had so much fun!! We stayed there all afternoon. And after seeing Greg playing in the water, I finally decided to go in and get wet!! Mommy was so proud of me!!

Here's me trying to splash Mommy!!

So we have been super busy around here! Next week Mommy has her Ranger evolution (all night Teambuilding event), and the week after that is her work boat party!! It will be my first time on a boat!! I'm so excited!! And then the week after that she is Hiking up Long's Peak. And over Labor Day weekend we are having visitors!!! Yeah!!! Mommy's friend Camie is coming to visit!! So much to do!! Look for more updates!!
