Kidnergarten Ends

School ended a few weeks ago and Canyon's teacher celebrated in style.  She organized a graduation with sweet songs, a lovely brunch and a made sure to include everyone. Canyon's teacher was wonderful. She had high expectations for her kindergartens, but certainty supported and encouraged them so they could reach their goals. They went on many fun field trips, were assigned quite a few at home projects, and learned a lot about science.  Canyon also fished the year able to read simple books and add and subtract like a wiz. I am so grateful to Mrs. Roth and that Canyon's first year was so fun. At graduation the children said what they wanted to be when they grow up.  Canyon choose and inventor. How cool is that!  Perfectly fitting for my boy who does endless projects.

Durham Bulls 2013

Canyon was on the Durham bulls again (by complete coincidence) this year! It was logistically helpful.   If we lost a hat we has two.  The pants, socks and belts all matched and if Trek felt like being a die-hard fan he could arrive to each game in full get up.  Canyon especially enjoyed having his friend from school on his team.  About mid way through they switched to coach pitch and Canyon did great! Practicing with Dad sure helped. Canyon's skills really improved this year. He even caught a foul ball playing catcher. A highlight for sure. I love this little ball player!

The Wild Wild West...

...it's beautiful, it's dry, it's mysterious, it's full of color, it's big blue sky makes me know I'm home.
I love it here.

Adventure Day: Slide Rock

School was closed for Canyon and Gary was in between graduation and work so we decided to hit slide rock on a weekday before it gets too packed. What fun! Water and Sunshine: you can't ask for a better afternoon.

Gary Graduates!

Oh, Happy Day!
He set a goal and reached it. 
The last 3 years Gary has worked so hard and I couldn't be happier and more proud.
Our family set out on an adventure a few years ago and have been blessed every step of the way. We worked together, supported each other and enjoyed the ride. Never once did it feel wrong.
Congratulations to my sweetheart. I love you so much!

Color Vibe

Last Saturday I spent a fun day with some girlfriends on the Color Vibe 5k "run." We walked and visited most of the way enjoying periodic bursts of color. Love good friends and warm Saturday's. After we finished our run we had a mini redo for the kids. It made for some cool photos, but the little ones weren't sure of having color blasted at them.
