recently (and not so recently)

Most trips to the hardware store these days require a hard hat and a healthy snack.

The first demo took place over a month before the real demo was scheduled to begin.

Some walls got destroyed and some got new paint.

Years ago  LT drew this picture of him and I golfing. I had it hanging in the combination guest room and office in the basement ever since. With the impending remodel and purge, it was finally time to say goodbye to it. But I took a picture of it so I could archive it here and remember it. 

More often than not as the last kid B is having to tag along with whatever the schedules of the rest of the family dictate. But we had some free time recently one weekend and, wanting to give him a chance to choose an activity, Kari asked him what he wanted to do. Without hesitation he said he wanted to go hiking at Red Rocks. So that's what we did. 


Spring Fling cake was the centerpiece of a combined (B & A) family birthday celebration for the two younger brothers. 

And what better forum than a family birthday celebration to learn to eat corn off the cob with Grandpa. 

On the day of AC's birthday we tried to go out to dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory downtown, which was set to close the following week. Apparently we weren't the only ones with the idea of a last nostalgic dinner there (I still remember going with my grandparents) because at 5:15 there was a line out the door and around the corner. We ended up at the Cheesecake Factory nearby   

Just me and these two for a night at Great Wolf Lodge as yet another part of the succession of birthday events. They had a blast and I read an entire book in the course of the weekend.

Checking out the house at various stages of the demo. 


B rode a pony for first (and likely the last) time at the Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms corn maze festival.


Watching some shows at the coffee shop while mom and dad meet with the designer to talk about kitchen cabinets and boring stuff like that.
