Traci and the boys surprised me with tickets to the Rockies game today. We had a great time, after we had spent all day yesterday in the mountains.
Jump on over to Flickr to see some beautiful shots from a great weekend!

Denver Chalk Art Festival
We've had a busy but enjoyable weekend, summer has finally arrived in Colorado. We spent most of the day wandering the streets of downtown Denver at the Chalk Art Festival, and took Bella to a new dog park Friday, and again today. There is a small pond that she can swim in to cool off, lots of other dogs to run with, and people throwing balls into the pond for the dogs to fetch. May very well be her new favorite place.

Band, Balloons, and Bella
Click on the link to see all the photos and videos!
Oh my, it has been super busy around the Snouffer family ranch...school is almost out (6 day I think) and the boys are chomping at the bit. As most of you know, Easton bought his first car, a 1993 Honda Civic hatchback. He loves it and will be doing his driving test to get his license on June 1...then the roads will be a much more adventurous place :-)
Both boys had concerts last week, and on the same night. We went to Q's first where he played several songs, and is becoming a great sax player. He had me upload Dead Man's Chest from Pirates of the Caribbean and Pinnacle. He chose those as his favorites, enjoy.
Easton had his final concert of the year, and part of the song was an improvisational drum battle with Mike, the senior drummer that Easton will be taking over for next year. If you missed it, Easton is going to be playing the lead percussionist in the band, and thy symphonic band and choir have already recruited him to help with their music also. He will be busy next year.
Easton is waiting to hear on acceptance at a weeklong summer band camp at Colorado State University this summer. The camp will be 12 hours a day of pure music focus, on Jazz and Marching. He is excited. He is also looking for a job to put gas money in the new ride!
Easton and I got up at sunrise on Saturday to go watch the hot air balloon launch in Erie, but it was cancelled due to the thick, heavy fog. They did set up 5 balloons though, and we got to interact with all the teams, help set them up and then pack them back up. Still a great way to spend the morning. Pictures are on Facebook and Flickr.
Lastly, a little update on our completely uncoordinated Bella. We have found that she really loves to stalk and chase bubbles, along with butterflies, birds, squirrels, basically anything that moves. Some fun pictures of her chasing bubbles are on Flickr.
Hopefully this finds all of you well, and we look forward to summer! It might come to Colorado one day, but for now we have a constant daily change of wind, rain, cool air, and very little sun and heat.
Cheers- The Snouffers

That great Jazz drummer
As most of you know, Easton got chosen for Jazz 1 next year, the top drummer for Horizon! He has been on cloud 9 since finding out. I recorded his last concert on Feb 25 for you all to enjoy. He is becoming quite the musician! Go to the blog to see the videos!

Broken Bella
Well, the trauma from Friday night ended up with Bella's toe being broke. We did not think it was so, but today when we got home her foot was all swollen and she would not walk on it. She is feeling pretty picked on. No bird dog training, no walks, no dog park, for 4 weeks!

Band & Basketball
My mom came out for the weekend to see the boys play basketball. They both played great, with Q's team winning by 3 and Easton's team losing by 1 point due to a lucky buzzer beater shot by the other team.
Easton also had a jazz concert, played a Chicago great "Does anyone really know what time it is?" and a couple of others. He also got told by his band director and teacher that he needed to register for Jazz 1 next year, so that should mean he will be in the top group!!!

Surprise! Can you believe it?!
Easton is 16!!! (well, in a few more days) and to celebrate his birthday, we got him a 44' Cadillac Escalade limo to pick him and 15 friends up at our house. They were all taken to Friday's for a dinner and celebration of the big event.
After dinner, they got to go cruise downtown Denver, screaming out the windows, blaring the music, and just having a great time.
Easton was completely shocked, he knew we had invited all of his to come to our house and then we were going to dinner, but he had no idea when the limo pulled up, that was how they were getting there.
We had dinner at the same restaurant, but sat on the other side and enjoyed ourselves, and then picked up the bill after they left. We took the last of the kids home after midnight and hit the sack!

Bella's first day at the dog park!
Took Bella to the dog park for her first time today. She got her rabies vaccine Thursday, so she is done with shots, and ready to roll....she had a blast, running with all the other dogs and playing with all sizes and shapes. This will be a weekly socialization trip for her!
