Kyra graduates from elementary school and Kirk turns 5 years old!

Dwight and Sharon enjoyed attending a graduation ceremony for 5th graders at Kyra's school this week. Each diploma provided an individual description for the particular student, based on comments received from other students. Kyra's description: "You are called bouncy, lively, and witty. You are one who never gives up, in other words - you're a bit stubborn. You love a group project and work hard and remain focused on what you have to do. In fact, you've sort of made our rat a group project and she loves you for it. You like to explore and see endless possibilities." Kyra is responsible for caring for the class pet rat, Bonnie, for the summer. We are very proud of her.

Kyra spent part of the weekend with us and we celebrated Kirk's 5th birthday during a trip to Starbucks. Another customer (and admirer of the world's greatest dog - Kirk!) took this picture.

Go Nuggets! Rockies Will Rise Again! and Other May Pictures

Steve, Grace, Beth and Ava are dressed in their Nuggets gear and supporting Denver from their home in Los Lunas, New Mexico. Go Nuggets! Dwight has a bet with his lifelong friend, Tom, who lives in Southern California that Denver will beat the Lakers in the playoffs. Whichever team loses, it appears that Starbucks will be the winner because either Tom or Dwight will end up buying!



Early in May, we spent a couple of days with our friends, Jon and Danny, at their cabin in Fairplay, Colorado, and caught this picture at dawn when we were returning to Denver early in the morning. It was a lovely visit and to a beautiful area.


Grandaughter Jordan spent an overnight with us for Mother's Day weekend and we went to two Rockies games! For the second game, we were joined by Jordan's family. That's her brother, Jaden, below. The picture was taken in the Mountain Ranch Grill in Coors Field.
