Gotta love Colorado!

We had between 2-3 feet of snow dump on us last weekend. On Monday my kids were in shorts climbing on the snow piles. By Tuesday all of the snow had melted and it was in the 70s!

Easter with the cutest kids in the world!

Projects.....

For the past few weeks I have been so busy working on projects for the young women at our church(for a New Beginnings program and birthdays)and I'm finally done!! I thought I would share some pictures since I think they turned out pretty cute. -And thank you Tagan for your help!

Skiing '09

Michael had Martin Luther King day off and so we took the boys skiing. I hung out at the lodge all day with Haley, and the boys took turns skiing with dad. They had a great time! The weather was awesome and even Haley and I spent most of the day outside enjoying the sunshine. I'm excited for it to warm up again because today is freezing!!

Happy New Year!

Okay, I don't really have anything exciting to post about, but I decided that for those of you who do check in on me occasionally, that "countdown to Christmas" post is getting a bit old.

We had a wonderful Christmas spent in Utah with Michael's family. Christmas morning was a bit crazy with 12 adults and eight grandkids, but it was a lot of fun. We may have ended up with a few presents that belonged to someone else, but we're okay with it.

For New Years, Michael had the idea of having a "Panda" themed party with the kids. We had a great time eating Panda Express and watching "Kung Fu Panda". It was a lot of fun. (I would share some pictures, but Michael has the camera)

Our poor puppy had another accident and cut his leg really bad. He came into the house with puddles of blood and had a cut that went through the muscle. We called around to different vets to find out it would be about $500 to stitch him up. -So, we decided it would be best if Michael did it. Heck, he pulled my wisdom tooth out in our kitchen, why not sew up our dog? So he did and did a great job (with the help of an army vet friend via phone and email pictures). Our dog is healed and doing well! Hopefully no more broken bones or stitches!

Counting down to Christmas

We don't have an advent calendar, so I decided to do these cute candy ropes that my sister told me about. You get a long piece of saran wrap or cellophane, place 12 pieces of candy in a line, roll up the candy, and tie a ribbon between each piece of candy. Tomorrow we will start counting down to Christmas by cutting off a piece of candy for each day.

One Of The Things That I Love Most About Colorado......

Once there was a snowman tall, Tall, TALL.....
