Time to Celebrate!~

My friend Kim gets to celebrate another birthday!!!

You'll just have to wonder about which year she's celebrating...

You'd be surprised!

We had a fun day shopping and eating, 

and of course lots of chatting!

Coreen's Got a Date!~

I got a text asking me to go on a date Wednesday night.

And it wasn't from my husband.....

My son Kent was my "hot" date!

He took me out for a delicious Mexican dinner

and a great movie.

Somebody's gotta take care of me while Jim's away!

Fourth of July Fizzler-

With our Fourth of July being a fizzler,

Cody and Tanner tried to make up for it

the next morning, in a small way....

Free fireworks were on the short order list

for getting to see any anything shot off.

I figured at 9am in our backyard two 

teenage boys can't do that much damage!

No fingers got burned...or houses for that matter.

The 4th of July With No Sparks~

4th of July 2010!!!

Our day started off hopeful....

After our church meetings we enjoyed

one of Grandma's great spaghetti dinners.

Not exactly a traditional 4th of July meal

but very delicious.

Kent, Coreen, Cody

We flew our flag in honor of our wonderful country!

Kent, Grandma, Cody

The picture shows the storm clouds headed

our way.  Unfortunately they became so intense 

Broomfield cities firework show was cancelled!

Many areas along the front range experienced 

intense rain, hail, tornado and flash flood warnings.

Mother Nature gave us her own "firework show!"

Basketball Buddies~

Once home and giving and getting some

great hugs for each other we settled right in.

One of the first things the Kent and Cody got

right to was some fun basketball time!

Colorado Here We Come!~

Summer has officially begun-for Cody!!!

Coreen and Cody are headed to Colorado to

spend time with family and friends, play,

earn money at some summer jobs, 

and fulfill some food cravings.....

We left July 25th and will be in 

Colorado for 7 weeks!!!

Cody had time to crash in the London airport

with our layover being so long.
