Happy Birthday to the Big C! He wanted German Chocolate Cake and boy was it yummy! Love that frosting so much. Why isn't it used in more things other than this cake. Why doesn't somone invent cookies with it?

I realize that this is two weeks ago and actually it looks so different from then and now. I wouldn't believe it though if I wasn't taking pictures. The cucumbers are definately on the slow growth plan. If we're lucky we may be able to do our pickles in September at this rate :).

Edie and her food...a very cute combination. I love how she looks a little terrified while eating the avocado and then purely happy when eating the rice cereal.

Here we are at Chatauqua Park. Wesley was sitting on Amelia's lap, but it looks a lot worse than that. I have no idea what they are doing. I love Lauren and Timmy's poses.

Here's the fam all together at the ranger station...minus Tommy. If I had photoshop I'd put you in.

Along the estes park river walk.

More elk along the road, but this one above is in Estes Park.

I thought this looked really pretty, but it is of even more elk. This one is within Rocky Mountain National Park.

While leaving the ranger station we met a coyote who would not get out of the road.

What a cute pair!

Lauren is chillin' in Natalie's sunglasses.

Now here's a closer look. How many can you see now? I couldn't believe how many there were.

Can you find the elk in this picture?

On the way back from Dream Lake.

This is at Rocky Mountain National Park just before Memorial Day. The Jim and Chris Willford families were attempting the "Dream Lake Trail". When we arrived we found it to be under 2 feet of snow, but we did it anyway. Under pressure by the pouring rain and kids we shortened it to just the Nymph lake trail. To Dream Lake: We'll be back and conquer you yet!

Things are looking up. I'm going to keep you in suspense since I haven't gotten new pics for a little while. I'll have to do that this week.

This one is our plot before the plants...not much promise.

What started out as such a wasteland and slowly become a community garden. We decided in April that we really wanted to have a community garden. We have wanted a garden for a loooonng time, but obviously apartment living is out of the question. I tried to convince the management here that a garden in the place of the crab grass would be an outstanding idea, however they are slow to agree. Nevertheless our garden dreams have now been fulfilled at a nearby school (The Bradley International School).
