Summer's Complete~

One of the great things about returning to Colorado

is having the privilege of attending the Rockies 

baseball games, compliments of my Mom.

 A whole group of us went on Labor Day.

My Mom, some of my sister's family-the Kaisers,

and Jim and I with Bryce and Jessie.

It was a great day to be out in the beautiful Colorado

sunshine, a little bit of shade was appreciated, and 

enjoy the atmosphere and great view of the Rockies.

 Seventh inning stretch and photo taking.

Jessie, Bryce, Coreen, Jim, Mom
Unfortunately, despite a bit of a comeback in the
last inning we still lost 10-7 to the D-Backs!  Darn!

The Kaiser Clan.

After the game we enjoyed a fun, entertaining meal at

a Mongolian BBQ restaurant.  It rounded off our

"world tour" of international foods for the weekend!

Good Eats~

Bryce would like to claim he made this 

Peach-Raspeberry Pie and I will give

him some credit in it's creation since

he blanched the peaches used in it.

It was delicious with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

A New Puppy!!!~

Meet Little Lilly!!! 

A nine week old black lab!!

Sooo sweet!

We went and picked her out today.

 No, she is not ours to keep.

We helped out our friends, the Reichman's.
Since they would not be in town the day Lilly could 

come home we went and picked her up  for them.

We considered it a privilege.

 It's the attack of the shoe laces!!!

Surprisingly Bryce still had them by the time we left.

 Since I didn't have any shoelaces they worked on my

toes and sandals.  My toes took a beating!

 ~Lilly~

 Jessie and Bryce holding Lilly and her sister.

 Sweet girl.  She just melts when you hold her.

 Nothing like playing with a litter of pups.

 This one finally tuckered out and just layed down 

right on the rock.

 Here is Crystal the breeder saying goodbye to Lilly.

Crystal is the breeder we used to get our Yana girl.

 The ride home all snuggled up between Bryce and Jessie.

 Bryce's sweet little friend.

 We stopped by the Reichman's so Lilly could see where 

her real home was going to be.  She stood on the 

doorstep wondering when she would see her new family.

 We took her to her temporary house, our home.

Here she is trying out Yana's pillow.

Lilly's SO MUCH smaller.

 We let Lilly play with Yana's Hedgie toy.

She had some fun with it.

 You can just make out her blue eyes.

 She was curious about much in the room 

including climbing under this chair.

 Here she is playing with a ball while under the chair.

 Lilly was quite happy under there.

 She finally climbed out then layed down and took a nap.

She would have fun playing with you for 10 or 15 minutes

at a time and then she would suddenly find a spot next to a

warm body and promptly fall asleep for a nap.  She spent

most of her day napping.  She's just a small baby!

 She liked snuggling with Jim.

 Jessie and Bryce took her out to eat.

 Lilly rolls on her back enjoying the grass and 

batting her paws at Bryce who is poking her belly.

 Bryce wanted to see if Lilly would share her food.  She was 

determined to eat it herself and would push against him.

 Lilly got tire of standing up to eat, so she took a seat.

 One of many of Lilly's naps.  This one was in the crook 

of my arm while we watched BYU beat Ole' Miss!

GO BYU!!!

 It was a great day for 4 reason:

Picking up Lilly~

Homemade bread~

Jim's Dutch Oven Jumbalya~

BYU beat Ole Miss!  

And it was BYU's first game as an independent!

 Lilly asleep on Jim's feet as we ate dinner.

Lilly is having a great stay in our home.

Can't beat a nap on a buddy's chest!
