I dread the day....

when cleaning the windows is not fun for them anymore.




Between the two kids and two dogs, I have pretty much given up on this task (at least for the glass doors to the back porch and yard). So when the kids volunteer and actually think cleaning windows is fun I am elated and more than eager to hand them both a rag.
Here's to clean windows...for at least a little while.

for you, and you and you!

In lieu of the recent news reports that the H1H1 scare is not as great anymore, no worries!



So get them while they are hot...only $10.
This is seriously the sign that has been up for months at my grocery store.
Anyone else find it as funny as me?

opening weekend

We enjoyed some firsts this weekend...
First T ball game for Cole was this past weekend. The team voted on Rockies for their name and the game was as entertaining and fun as to be expected for a 4-5 year old t ball game!





"See how fast I am!" - Cole


We also went to our first Colorado Rockies game...bless Cole's heart - he wore his mitt almost the whole time in hope of catching a home run ball.



I love this time of year!

thanks...

for coming.

hut trip

Our first hut trip to Walter's cabin was a success. The kids were rock stars...they snowshoed in 2.7 miles on snowshoes...being pulled in the sled just the last 200 yards for fun. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get to the hut with a stop for lunch and many many bathroom breaks (note to self: do not let Cole carry a camel back anymore!)



This is the spectacular view from our front deck. It really was an amazing place to just be. Peaceful and utterly grand.

After a long hike in...we had precious time with our family. We had time to play a some marathon games of uno, discover and explore snow forts in our "front yard" and do some of the best sledding we have ever done...





...and make countless snow angles.

This one is for you Jake...taken right in front of Shrine Mountain.


The snowshoe out was downhill and only took about 2 hours with many bathroom breaks again (still didn't learn).




This was the most amazing trip and we are ready to book another hut trip for next year already...anyone want to come with us?
