A concert! In Akron??

The kids loved the parade.

Hoss Howard

This week was Akron's fair and parade!
The whole town was abuzz with excitement. This year was the first year that we've ever had a big name come for a concert. Jer and I were excited with the rest of em'. We paid a whopping 20 bucks each to get reserved seating right in the middle closest seating to the stage. Yeah Right! We went to sit down and we found out that we were right in the middle on the ground. All the standing room only people were right in front of us and I couldn't see a thing sitting down. Of course we stood the whole time. That was just fine cause we still had a great view!
Hoss Howard and his band opened up for Joe Diffie!!! We didn't know who Hoss Howard was but he wasn't half bad. He reminded me of Toby Kieth a little. We sure got a kick out of his older long haired band member who kept flipping his hair all over. He was hilarious!!
Joe Diffie got on stage and the crowd went crazy. Even all the sweet old folks in town too! We needed to sell $500 dollars worth in tickets just to break even and we sold around $900! That great because it means they'll ask someone else to come next year. Joe said he just did a concert in Ohio and thought man that's gonna be a short drive. Ha ha! He didn't even know there WAS an Akron, Colorado. He was very down to earth. Jer and I had a blast just being together without the kids. Its been a while.

Lazy Summer Evenings

After I got home from work today, we all went outside to play.

The kids had a blast running around and playing with Jake.

Earlier Jer was pruning the leaves on our zucchini plants and he accidentally cut a pumpkin. I told him to give it to Jake and see what he does.

Jake loved it! He ate it right up. funny dog.

We are so proud of Jake Jer has been working with him and he's learned to sit, stay and lay down. :o)

Miss muffet how does your garden grow?

We are so proud of our garden. Its the first one we've been able to plant in the 5+ years that we've been married. The only thing that I would do differently is space out our zucchini plants because they take over the whole area. We even have some veggies ripe for picking! Yay!

Happy 4th of July!

This year the 4th of July was pretty laid back.
We brought out the kiddy pool for Brook and Mason and Jer had fun BBQing.

We didn't remember to buy fireworks this year but that was just fine. We ate, hung out and watched the Macy's firework show on TV. Of course Mason didn't make it. He fell asleep right when it was starting. At least there is always next year.

Gone fishing

Saturday I worked at the bakery from 4:30am to 2pm. Jer asked if I wanted to go with him and the kids fishing afterwards. I said heck yeah.

We took them to the pond near the Akron golf course here. Brooklyn had a blast practicing her casting and reeling in. She wasn't even afraid to touch the slimy green goo that got caught on her line. Mason kept busy by throwing rocks into the water and almost throwing himself at times. ha ha. What a nice treasure to find in our little town. Who would have thought such a pretty pond was here in this dessert wasteland.
