This past week...

This past weekend we went to my parents in Eads, CO. A little tiny town (600 people or so) in the Eastern plains of Colorado. We lived there when I was in Jr. High. I got to see some old friends, which was fun and they had their yearly fair. The day started with a parade and then down to the fair grounds for a bbq lunch and rodeo. It was a nice relaxing weekend. This is the band...
The pastors of the church got together and this was their 'float'.
Then there were tons of people on horses, of course the little ones are the most adorable...

Old time covered wagons and beautiful horses.
And then the rodeo. I really enjoy rodeos. I haven't been to many in the last few years, I have been able to take Dan to two since we've been together. We have some big ones here in town, it just seems like we aren't able to make it when they are here. Enjoy some pictures from the rodeo. I had fun taking them.

This week we tore up our bathroom. We redid it about 3 years ago, but want to redo the flooring, so we are fixing other little things while we are at it. Dan patched a messy spot in the wall. I am going to repaint he room. Then we lay flooring, touch up baseboards and all that sort of good stuff. While at mom's we picked two big bags of Concord grapes. They smelled so good. I cooked them and made grape juice concentrate out of them. Yummy fresh grape juice.
Dan is working this afternoon and I am doing little things around the house. On the ADOPTION front...we are waiting, again. Courts are closed and things slow down a bit, but we are praying for a quick referral and quick court dates. Dan is getting extremely frustrated with work and would like to change jobs, but is wanting to stick it out through the adoption. So, pray with us if you would that things move quickly!!! Tonight is another home Broncbuster football game, should be a good time! Have a blessed weekend you all! T
