Bruce's, Birthday, Rockies, Summer!

Last weekend was quite the weekend in the Urich household. But really none of it even took place in our house! On Friday night the Greeley West staff got together for their annual bike ride to Bruce's Bar in Severance (about a 12 mile bike ride). Unfortunately, it was heavily raining so only a few "die-hards" rode. Josh, Kyler and I drove out there. If you are from Colorado, you may know that Bruce's is famous for their "Rocky Mountain Oysters" (cow balls). On the way into the restaurant, Josh asked Kyler, "Would you like to eat balls?" He responded with, "Yeah! Eat BALLS!" Then when we were ordering our food, he told the waitress, "EAT BALLS!" Classic!

Then on Saturday, Josh turned the big 30! We had planned to go down to Denver and eat dinner at the Melting Pot. Josh had never been there, so it was a nice birthday treat! We got the whole shi-bang: a bottle of wine, cheese fondue, lots of different meats and vegetables for our main course, and topped it off with a delectable chocolate fondue. Delightful! Our friend Jaime came with us to the restaurant and then she drove us into downtown Denver. Josh had NO idea that he was about to get the surprise of his life! I had planned to surprise Josh with some friends and family at Sing Sing's (a dueling piano bar). As we were getting out of the car, Jaime told us that she wanted to take us to this place called "The Keg", a lie of course. Then as we were walking towards the place I asked, "What else is down here?" She listed off a bunch of things and then told us that Sing Sings is down here too. Josh's eyes lit up and he said that he wanted to go there. When we walked in, a few of our family members were there to surprise him. It was terrific - Thanks to everyone that made his birthday extra special!Since I had reservations, they knew that it was his birthday and got him up on stage.
His brother, Jake, was even able to make it!

Since we were already in Denver for the weekend, we had also planned to catch a Rockies game. Although it wasn't Kyler's first game, it was probably the most meaningful. He really got into it. At about the 5th inning he started to get really cranky (it was right around naptime), so we decided to duck out a little early. On the entire way to the car, he was whining and crying, "Bye, Bye Ba-ball". We were in the car maybe two minutes before he passed out.

To top off such a great weekend, this week was our last week of school! I get to spend an incredible summer with my two favorite men! How lucky am I?
