The payoff

Haven't posted much of the finished product yet so...
Friday around 5 (when I got home from my work),
Phil and I decided we would lay our new lawn.
Easier said than done.
After grabbing a quick bite, we began roto-tilling the freshly de-weeded dirt that covers the majority of our backyard.
Mixed in the top soil
&
Sweet Success!
(about 24 hours later)
The hard part has been trying to keep the boys and the dogs off the lawn,
until it has a chance to root.

(although, if you ask him...it's not quite finished...he says, still needs sound treatments)

Buffalo Bills Days and more...

Last weekend (which actually has now been two weekends ago) we went to Golden to visit with my brother Brian & his family, brother Bradley and the Clivers to visit with my niece Nicole and celebrate her being a mommy for the first time!
They were having the Buffalo Bill's days all weekend downtown Golden. My first time seeing Duck Races in the river. Over 2,000 rubber duckies were dumped over the river, and raced 1/2 mile to the finish line. Pretty neat little charity!
And another first was the Mutton Bustin'!
Cutest little 5-7 years old riding sheep!
Good times!
Carter, Ashley, Parker and Kayden
(Mine, Casey, and Bri's kids)
The kids loved their snow-cones!
Ashley was a pro on the bungee trampoline.
Kayden, Carter and Parker all got to ride in the same car for the ferris wheel
You can tell Parker and Carter's side is ridin' heavy!
