God Bless Texas

My sister came to visit recently.  We always look forward to her coming to town because when she is here every day is a party!

We get to have donuts and ice cream and Keith doesn't mind because he can't say No to Aunt Bobbi.

My whole family and Keith's whole family came to town for Keith's 50th Birthday and Bobbi and my Mom were so very helpful and I remembered that I can double dog dare Bobbi to do just about anything.

Like this.

I texted this picture to Keith and his response was:  A little Texas in Colorado can be too much of a good thing!

We miss you Bobbi....come back soon!

If any of you are in the Plano Area....Bobbi just opened a brand new Massage Therapy Office and she'd love some new customers! Free riding lessons with every massage.

Super Fan

Did you have a great 4th of July?

We sure did!

I'd been looking forward to this day ever since we made our Summer Fun List because I had been given tickets to the Denver Outlaws lacrosse game.

What?  You didn't know that Denver has a lacrosse team?  I didn't either but I'm here to tell you that they do, they are awesome and you should go to a game yourself!

Sports Authority Field is a pretty amazing and I had never been so close to the field before.  Alex was telling me that he his tummy was tickling himself.  He was so excited!  We were sitting directly across from where iKeith's Bronco Season Tickets are so it was nice to picture where he hangs out during every home game.

Once the game got started....Alex (and maybe iKeith) only had eyes for these girls.  I decided my life will not be complete until I own pom poms and white cowboy boots.

Outlaws Dance Team

I couldn't stop watching the super fan that was dressed in a suit! I texted Aunt Bobbi a picture in hopes that she'd fall in love at first sight and get her skinny butt back to Denver.

The game was very entertaining and easy to keep up with.  The ball is small and they toss it back and forth a lot so you really have to pay attention. It's kind of like hockey on grass.  the Denver Outlaws won 17-13 against the Ohio Machine, and we were super fans ourselves when it was over.

The added benefit of being at this game was that it was one of a few places that was having a fireworks display.  Many of the shows had been cancelled because of the wildfires and fire danger in Colorado.

It was the most amazing fireworks show I've ever seen!  And the music they chose to go along with it was perfect.  My children were awe struck!

This could be our new 4th of July tradition.

Have you ever been to a lacrosse game?

Disclaimer: I was given tickets to the Denver Outlaws game.  I was not asked to blog about it or drink 3 beers at the game.  All opinions and thoughts and headaches are my own.

I'm At A Pay Phone

I'm at a pay phone tryin' to call home, all of my change I spent on you.  Where have the times gone, Bobbi it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

My sister came to visit for four days.  We had a great time together and the kids were so excited that they thought they were going to the airport with me to pick her up.  Yeah right.

I spent 20 minutes circling the Denver International Airport (which is NOT in Denver, by the by) at 7am because of this sign.

There is no waiting, or stopping.  Even if the person you are picking up is moments away from coming through the door.  You must circle.

Our first stop was Winchell's Donuts and Starbucks and that's when we saw one of these.

Later we went swimming.  And a young boy was enthralled with Aunt Bobbi and her assets.

We went to Target because that's our favorite thing to do together and we got stuck in this chair.  Target now owns a hilarious video of us trying to refold the chair.  I hope it never makes it onto You Tube.

Aunt Bobbi watched the kids and iKeith and I had a date night downtown.  We had a lovely time and we established that I'm not fun anymore.  I think I'm just a nice Republican girl that won't do certain things.

Me and Bobbi went to see Magic Mike while iKeith took the kids to see Brave.  I can tell you that we liked our movie very much and we were tickled to see every male employee standing at the door to see everyone leave the theater.  I think they were looking for single girls in need of love.

I immediately wanted to go to an Army Supply Store and purchase some camo pants, a white tank top, black boots and hat for iKeith.  I told him not to be shocked if his pants suddenly have velcro closures on the side and the cheeks of his underwear go missing.

Instead.  We went out for cocktails.

And then iKeith took us on an ill fated trip to Target where Bobbi and I did our best Rachel Zoe impressions.  He will not do that again.  

Someone was very sad to wake up to find Aunt Bobbi gone.

Come Back Aunt Bobbi.  

Move to Denver.

We have pay phones.

A Saucy Minx and Wildfires

It's 6:05am and I'm headed to DIA to pick up this saucy minx.

Also known as AUNT BOBBI!

The kids have been counting the sleeps.

We're going to have so much fun we won't know what hit us!

**

Please pray for the cities of Ft Collins, Colorado Springs and Boulder.  Wildfires are ravaging precious land and homes.  I have friends and family in all locations and we need your prayers and good thoughts.  

Pray for rain.

Lots and lots of rain.

Other than that.  Colorado is open for business!
