4th of July

We went to another Rockie's game, basically for the fireworks. There were SO many people there. The game was great, the Rockies came back from behind - the final score was 18-17 with 21 hits for the Rockies and 22 for the Marlins. There were several home runs, including a Grand Slam, which is always cool to see.

After the Rockies won I high-fived the guy with the orange hat. I thought that was funny - he must not know that I'm an Indians fan.

The fireworks were amazing. We had great seats to watch.

John caught this shirt that was thrown into the crowd. This is the second shirt in as many Fridays that John has caught for free!

Here are some pictures from our lazy day at home on the 4th. I had to slip some in of the doggies, it's been awhile.

Greeley Stampede

What's more American then a rodeo. Here is the mutton bustin' (where little kids hang on to sheep for dear life)



John bought deep fried Oreos, and loved them.


the cowboys and their people

A little patriotic show

John eating another deep fried delicacy, funnel cake (we split it).

We went to the Greeley Stampede for our 2nd year. We had better seats this year. It was very fun and entertaining. We bought a new video camera and these are the pictures, so they aren't as good quality, but you get the idea.

This weekend

We went back to the Greeley Guest House to take pictures a year after our wedding. I took the idea from my friend Jen. Also, my belly is very prevalent in these :)

Boy oh boy....

Baby Simpson has revealed HIMself. Everything looks good and healthy. Here are some of his first photos. We're keeping his name a secret - but we do know what it's going to be!!

Tomorrow...

is the big day. We have our 20 week appointment at 2:45. Hopefully Baby Simpson will reveal his or her true identity. She/He is a little mover. I'm so excited to see the Baby, and to see how everything has grown and changed in the last two months (since we saw his/her squiggly little body). So stay tuned.....

Indians vs Rockies

John and I went to the Indians game (at the Rockies Stadium) last night. It was a month delayed Anniversary present to ourselves. It rained for two innings, which you would never expect here in Denver in June. The Rockies did take the sweep in this three game series, which disappoints, but what are you gonna do? One thing I didn't expect was that John was 1. a Rockies fan 2. cheers for a team in the National League, blashphemy? It was also cool to see the Denver sky line from the stadium. We also, of course, ate some good stadium food.

Pawnee Buttes - Father's Day

Here are the pictures from Father's Day. You drive through the Pawnee National Grasslands, which basically mean there is nothing except grass and some cows. There are NO trees in sight. Then all of the sudden you come to these Buttes, and it's pretty amazing. It was a beautiful day, and it was fun to be with my Mom and Dad.

The Cutting Room Floor

Ginger and the love of her life

Mya just looks funny here.

These are my friends Duck and Bobby from N Ireland. Bobby is my host Mum's brother.

Baby's Room

John and I found this most perfect rug for our baby's room. We also finished putting together the dresser. So things are coming together. We have three more weeks to find out if baby is George or Martha!!
