We have been enjoying the new patio for a few days now while Javier cleans up some details.

Javier, our wonderful concrete guy has been working hard on our block the last few weeks.

Troy, my brother in-law, gave me his name. he has turned out to be a very reliable, and inexpensive option for anyone looking for concrete work in the Denver metro area.

This week he poured my neighbored patio, all colored and stamped, it looks great. They are having their daughters graduation party this coming Friday so Nicole and I gave them our pour day. We3 got moved back to this coming Friday or Saturday.

Here are some pictures of the frame out. The color will match the siding and will have some hints of of the darker trim paint mixed in. Nicole and I can’t wait. Wish we had some funds for new patio furniture.

Jacob’s inline hockey team took second place today in the Castle Rock Rec Center league.  The day started out at 8:30a.  They played the Purple team.  Beating them 7 to 6 to advance in the tournament.  They had the Purple teams number all year.  Today was the third time they had beaten them.  After that win the kids had an hour to rest before their next game.

The championships game was going to be a tough one.  The Yellow team manhandled Burgandy to advance.  Yellow was the only team Jacob’s team had lost to all season.  they were going to have to play their best game of the season to win.  Which they did.  In the end the Yellow team proved to much to handle.  The kids played the best game I had seen them play.  They listened to the coach, covered the opponents well, even managed a few goals, but it was not enough.

This was Jacob’s first season, heck his first time on skates.  He did great.  Today is was already starting to do a little skating backwards.  He’ll be signed up in August for the Fall teams, no doubt.  He is having a ball.
