Park City

A few weeks ago, we headed up to Park City for one last hurrah on the Alpine Slide and Coaster, per Taylor's request. Good thing we brought coats and gloves...it was chilly! Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time! Add in lunch on Main Street, a few caramel apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and some shopping at the outlets, and it was the perfect day! Now if we could just get a little snow on the mountain, we'd take ski's up with us next time...

Better than football

What's better than fall weather and high school football? Getting to watch my amazing little sis, Cami, dance her heart out at half time. You are wonderful in every way...kind, loving, smart, beautiful, and an amazing young woman who lives her life with integrity and virtue. That's hard to find these days. We love you Cami and are so proud of you!

The Boulder 5

Yes, I was lucky enough to avoid the "Freshman 15" when I first started college, but I have yet to find a solution for the "Boulder 5". Each time we arrive in Boulder, I make a silent vow to myself, promising that I won't eat all day, every day. Yeah right. Those of you who have been to Boulder and smelled the freshly baked bread, the homemade peach pie, and the apple cobbler baking in the oven know that avoiding this dreaded five pounds is not a reality. You might as well throw away the scale and live it up...

In September, we headed down south to visit my amazing grandparents. And when I say amazing, I mean amazing. Both of them are in their late 80's and I am truly in awe of the life they lived and the things I've seen them accomplish, even as they approach their 90's. They are each such an example to me of someone that lives life to the fullest and realizes the important things in life. I treasure each moment I get to spend with them. I love you grandma and grandpa!

A step back in time

While blogging about Taylor's sixth birthday, I did a little reminiscing back to some of her other birthdays as well. What great memories and photos of my little girl. Thought I'd share a few pictures...

(Oh how I love this photo and her expression! I just wanna pick her up and squeeze her!)

Not sure what to think with all that frosting on her hands...
