Out for a hike! Christina, a girl that I'm tutoring this summer, on our way up Chief Mountain.

My brother and Kate were here last weekend. They came to visit and brought us our puppy. Our weekend was so much fun. We hit up the Cubs game, ate lunch with Autumn and Nathan during their layover at DIA, shopped at Ikea, hiked up a mountain, took turns playing the dealer in endless games of Blackjack, sampled food at the Golden Farmer's Market, and played frisbee at Clement Park. 

And here starts our obsession with our new pup, Bailey. We still love her even though she likes to chew on my rugs and dig in the garden. And, we already had to spend a pretty penny at the Vet Office.  Small world, the vet was from Winner--he noticed our 605 phone numbers on our paperwork and asked us if we were from SD. And his brother is married to Kim Dockendorf who used to babysit Derreck. 

(pretend that you do not see that dead plant.oops!)

This weekend we are hanging out at home. My mom and Cheryl are coming on Wednesday night. I'm so excited. We are going to the Steve Miller/Doobie Brothers Concert at Red Rocks on Sunday, heading to the Renaissance Festival, and touring some breweries. It is sure to be a fun time!
