Misc from the week!! for Oma!!

Lilja's best frien Maddie turned two last weekend.. It was a rock and roll party and we could come dressed up like a rock star.. i think Lilja hit the nail on the head!! Who do you think she is?? madonna??

The socks were her idea too. She has some style sense.

I had to take this picture as she just looks so big instead of the picture when she was waiting for Daddy two years ago.. remember?

The Southern Ute Indian tribe fair was here this weekend and the parade was even better than last year. This is the only parade that they can throw candy for the kids. Well, this year Lilja DOES know what candy is..

Waiting for the candy to be throw .. caroline and JT joined us too.

These guys were Apache.. Lilja was a little scared of them, but they were very impressive.

With daddy on the float. We were thinking of having her with him this time but decided to wait a year.. She thought it was pretty cool, even for that short of a time.

This little tree is a tree I planted with a friend and boss of mine, Gaye Weiss in honor of "old" elizabeth. We spead her ashes and her dog's ashes around this little tree.. She was a lady who was a client of ours at the Family center. We had become her advocates, while she became very sick and I always feel she chose me to be the person who was with her when she died. That experience and meeting Elizabeth  has had a profound effect on my life, and I had not been here for so long. today was the day.

I also burried my first dog Dominica here across from the tree. Behind Waxy ( Shawndells dog) you can see a rock and that was her burial spot. Funny story is that my boss (Gaye) gave me a little stuffed animal that looked like Dominica (a doberman) when she died, and Lilja has been carrying this stuffed animal around for the last 6 months. It was lost for the last week. We had to pick-up a truck in this area, so we did not even mean to stop, and I did not think i could find it, but we did.. But guess what.. Shawndell made a joke about me finding the stuffed toy after we went back home and... I DID.. I have goose bumps!! just strange sometimes how things work out or happen...
