what jeff's summer looked like

A summer of hardwork and lots to show...the stonework took Jeff and his two guys 9 weeks, not counting the time it took to collect the rock, and sort it.

See the moon?  We live on Moon Gulch.
(white stripe is missing piece of trim board that we ran out of and they no longer manufacture-ugh!)

The moon is made from quartz rock and so is the vein which goes across the window

Here is the rock all laid out before it was put up.

The boss

Note the header above the window, all custom cut pieces of granite rock.  The window sill is sandstone.

close up of moon next to our entryway.  It's hard to tell, but most of the rock above the moon is a purple granite.

Pumpkins!

We went to a pumpkin farm this weekend. Eva loved the farm animals, even when the goat tried to eat her hat.

Eva loved picking out the pumpkins.

and could even pick up a few of them.

Best of all she loved riding in the wagon.

Eva's New Jungle Gym

   

Jeff left mysteriously one morning and came back with this great jungle gym for

eva.

Eva loves the swing.

She loves going down the slide, with a little help.

And has no problem climbing up the ladder herself.

Eva loved the sand, but wasn't too crazy about getting in the water.  What a great 4th of July Dress!

Lyons Folk Fest August 2010

Easter, Utah, and Still Waiting for Spring

Here are a few photos from the last month. We went to Utah for Mom's birthday, had a cold snowy Easter here, and even though it's end of April we're still getting snow up here in Rollinsville. Boulder on the other hand, is quite beautiful and the tree leaves are starting to come out down there. I have big plans to put in a greenhouse this year. I spent most of Saturday bucking up a bunch of firewood that was sitting where I want to put the greenhouse. But we still have a few trees to take down. Maybe I'll be able to grow some tomoates this year, but who knows? So much to do, so little time!

Rea, Eva, Caroyln, Shea and Mike at dinner for Mom's Birthday 3/24 in Utah.

Rea and Jeff, skiing at Alta. Made me realize what a chicken I am!

Eva's first trip to the Zoo in Salt Lake City. Here she's pointing at a porcupine.

Look what I can do! This is fun! Don't look at me like that. Mom lets me do this.

I love getting my hands dirty, see?

Eva playing in foam blocks at Family Center in Nederland.

Eva loves to run around with just a towel on her head after a bath.

Eva and her Easter basket.

Easter. No candy for kiddo, just some new socks and toys.

Eva walking down our street. She finally mastered her insulated snow/mud boots and can really cruise around. She also loves to eat snow.
