A Camping we will go.......well, sorta








Last weekend we joined Becky and Strut, Barb and Bra for camping in Estes park. We went up for the day and ended up staying the night. Lots of fun to be had. We stayed in a cabin, and we had campfire food. We all got some sun, Sam the worst. But it was great to see everyone. Aragorn cause some ants, and was able to view them in his bug finder, apparently ants like pinecones, he ended up with more pinecone than ant. Rohan discovered he likes hotdogs cooked outside. We came home Sunday, and I was still putting clothes away by Wednesday, I love camping.
~~Hope you are all well~~

Summer is Just around the corner



The corn on the cob has been broken out!!




The wind began to switch / The house, to pitch


Unfortunately I had just a tad too much to drink at the bar mitzvah, and spent Sunday morning curled up on the couch. Thank goodness Brianna stayed and helped with the boys as I was useless. I did manage to get laundry done, but that was about it. We did have some fun happen at about 1pm though, as I watched the food network the weather service broke in and warned us about a tornado. Eric was outside getting the seats out of the van when I told him, he looked up and showed me the clouds as they were twisting around. It was of course nothing new to him, but I was freaked out. We ran in, grabbed Rohan from his nap (he was not amused) and headed to the basement. Aragorn was already there playing on his computer oblivious as to any happenings outside. I watched the news for a minute engrossed in what was happening, and then I realized Eric was not with me, Eric was OUTSIDE watching the tornado as it came down, after yelling at him to get inside, he showed me the funnel, I ran and got my camera and got a couple pretty good pictures. But I went back in. My husband is crazy!! It was a typical Colorado thing though, by 5 it was sunny and warm again. We are looking forward to this weekend and seeing Aunt Becky and Uncle Strut. And hanging out, unfortunately we will not be camping, but we’ll drive up for the day. Maybe next year when the boys are a little bigger we can join them for the weekend. Next weekend the 20th is my boss’s wedding, and then I think we finally get a weekend break from all the craziness.
~Hope you are all well


Bar Mitzvah













Well Eric and I had a very exciting weekend, we attended our first Bar Mitzvah. It was an interesting experience. I was bummed because they separated the women and men; I didn’t get to see half of why we were there, like Jake reading the Torah or anything like that. But it was cool. I did learn some interesting things about the Jewish religion, its 3,312 years old. The Torah is the same all over the world, and is hand written, every letter, it would take a person working full time 9-12 months to write it all down. The party was awesome though, picture a wedding reception without a bride and that’s what this was. DJ, dancing, professional photographer, and food. His theme was camping, so for appetizers they had trays of little hamburgers and French fries and fried mac & cheese. Diner was kabobs and coleslaw. Very yummy. We danced until we could not longer dance and left at about 11:30.
