Is it July, already?

My new favorite picture of Ryan and me.

Ryan, Ken and Mike

Amy and Me

Our friends Mike and Amy invited us to attend Denim and Diamonds with them this year. Well, actually they have been inviting us for the past 3 years, but this year was the first time we could make it. A couple years ago we had a really lame excuse...I think I was having a baby or something. Anyhoo, we were finally able to attend this year and we had a great time. I found a beautiful vintage dress at my favorite store in Denver (actually Ryan found it and convinced me to try it on, I was sure it was too small, Ryan knew better, it fit perfectly). I didn't get any pictures of me where you can see the whole dress, but it was empire waist and long, think Jackie O. Denim and Diamonds is the big charity dinner/auction fundraiser for the Hospital held annually. Since our good friend Miss Amy is also known as Dr. Trelease-Bell she and Mike support the event every year. There was drinking, eating and dancing and I bid on a piece of local art work at the silent auction that we got to bring home. My favorite thing to buy at charity auctions is art, by Wyoming artists of course.


Then over 4th of July weekend, my dad his wife Lauren and my brother and his girlfriend all came to visit and celebrate with us!

Sunday we decided to head to Denver for another Rockies game. The last one we went to was such a big hit with Andy we wanted to take him again. Above is my brother and his girlfriend.

Here is one of Ryan and my dad.

And here is grandma Lolo holding Andrew while he contentedly sucks his thumb and watches baseball.

It was great having them here over the fourth. They went on from our house to spend the week in Yellowstone and they all had a great vacation there. I was pretty jealous, considering Yellowstone is probably my favorite place on earth. They saw 6 bears! I guess the population came back:)


Wednesday night this week I had my final exam for my golf class. I passed without any problems. Not that this means I in any way feel like I am any good at golf now. But, I have the fundamentals now and if I were to play 4 hours a day every day maybe I could be considered something other than a complete embarrassment. So, basically, maybe when I retire I can become a golfer? Regardless, I came home from golf to this...

Ryan took Andrew to dinner and then through the drive-thru for ice cream. Um? Ryan? What on earth made you think you could just hand an ice cream cone to a 2 year old? It was pretty funny though even Andrew thought it was a hoot! He headed straight for the bath and luckily ice cream comes off of seat belts, who knew?
