So pretty!
This year my clematis plants have gone wild! I am so excited. Here's a picture of one in the front of the house and one of the three in the back.

Polo on the Lawn
Blake has been volunteering at an event, Polo on the Lawn, a fundraiser for Hospice, for three years now. She sells candy as raffle tickets for $20 a pop! The thing is, she is pretty cute, and she can sell 10 at a time in a blink of the eye. The event is hosted at a friend's home. The photo is a picture of their home. The estate, Ashlawn, is just as grand.

Civil Air Patrol
Evan has ambitions to get accepted into the Air Force Academy and he is working on qualifications to add to his resume' at 12 years old. He certainly gets his drive from his daddy! He joined the Civil Air Patrol in March and is really enjoying it. Evan is a bit of a rule follower. He loves structure and set expectations, so this is perfect for him. This commitment includes physical fitness qualifications, uniform expectations, lots of bookwork, and the opportunity to learn how to fly airplanes. This is a picture of him on the way home from their meeting. He looks pretty handsome in his uniform, I have to say! ;o)

Golf Camp!!
Evan has been going to Southridge Golf Course for an hour and a half every day this week for golf lessons. This weekend ~ Golf! Let's hope he can teach Mom and Dad a thing or two. xo
Colorado ~ Like no place else!
Clay was asked to come view an upcoming job in Aspen over the weekend so we hopped in the car and took a road trip. Blake had practice, so she stayed home. We left early Saturday morning and drove through Summit County over Vail pass and through Glenwood Canyon. Amazing! Gorgeous! If you haven't traveled that road recently, do it and soak it up. (Clay had driven that road the week before when he went to Grand Junction for the day, and noticed a huge difference in the water level of the river. Too hot in the mountains - too much snow melt for the rivers!)
Once we got to Aspen, Evan and I took the gondola up the mountain, had lunch, and enjoyed the view. We ventured into a couple of shops in town, but quickly exited when we saw the $200 t-shirts for sale.
Clay finished his walk through and we headed over Independence Pass down through Buena Vista and stopped to spend the evening with Samantha and Ken and their family. We enjoyed dinner with Mom and Fred and our quick visit with Jessica.
The next morning included breakfast at Patio Pancake and a three hour drive through beautiful Colorado on our way home to Fort Collins. Gosh, I love Colorado!

Summertime!
Yea for SUMMER!!! It's been a long winter and a cold spring and we are ready for the HEAT!! The kids have several camps over the summer including an overnight CSU football camp for Evan, two weeks of golf instruction for Evan, a week in Oregon for a gymnastics and stunting camp for Blake, and as always, a week away at Camp Timberline for Evan. Blake still has two to three days a week of cheer practice and is still looking for a summer job. We'll see how she can fit all of that in. No worries ~ it's summer! (almost!)
