Praying for snow, it's coming, I can feel it. I dreamt about it last night, I was flying down the mountain , it was a beautiful feeling. Stella's getting excited about it as well..... we woke up this morning and were watching the morning news as we were getting ready and they were showing some footage of the high country and snowy peaks. Dad, circa 197something Stella 2009 Who says you can't be dressed up with a pair of skis!?! :) How cool is this pic of my mama, ripping down the mountain! Dad Michigan circa 81 or 82! This is me in 1995. Although I don't really miss skiing gates (well sometime a slalom course calls my name but I'd kill myself these days) I do love the feeling of being on snow and pushing down the mountain, feeling my skis arc under me, it's the stuff dreams are made of. Can you tell I'm ready for ski season? :) It's been a crazy busy week so far but Stella and I are rockin it. Hope everyone is doing well! Sending out blessings and love...

Yup! The circus! Stella and I, last night hit the circus down in Denver with a few buddies! I've always had issues with the circus and I haven't been since i was about 10 so i thought I'd give it a go. Still have the same issues! Barnum and Bailey! Here are my issues! Bright lights, dancing and singing and poor, grumpy, sad elephants. Stella and I had a blast, I think the motorcycle guys in the cage were the coolest part. I have a bit of a sugar hangover this morning and thank god Stella has a day off today. Hope everyone had a beautiful Friday and a wonderful weekend. Going to the Buff game on Saturday. GO GU! Much Love!!!

great song to start the morning... sun is shining, the weather is sweet, makes you want to move your dancing feet...... much tuesday love.....

Saturday Stella and I ventured out of the valley up to Estes Park to go on a little hike! We headed up to Lilly Lake. It was B E A U T I F U L!!!!! Not a cloud in the sky, the leaves where changing, and the sun was shinning. This little lake that these guys are chillin in, is about 500 yards from Stella's school! Lilly Lake A shot from the parking lot! Love this time of year! Longs Peak! The rest of the weekend we worked on the house and we got the barn cleaned out! Woot ! I got into a fight with a stick and got a bit of a black eye (it looks tough) hehe ! Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. Much love from me and the lil one!

Yup, it's true, I killed Hank! Known FACT: Beta fish like to jump, fill their tank up too much and there is a possibility that they might make it out of the tank (wish I knew this when I cleaned his bowl on Sunday). Hank jumped out of his tank in the middle of the night and I found him dry and crispy on the tile floor Monday morning. I got him off the floor before Stella woke up and when she walked by his tank and said "Good Morning Mr. Hank" luckily she didn't notice Hank wasn't in there because normally he hides in the greens in the mornings. Whew, Monday morning crisis averted. Now what? Do I try and find a matching colored fish (not hard to do) and replace him before Stella notices? Thought about it all day long and decided that I would fess up and let Stella know what happen. The truth prevailed and Stella was good with it all. A little bummed but the new fish behind my back sort of made it better pretty quick. Now, time to come up with a name..... Meet ...

Check out this article..... I was interviewed by a friend a few weeks ago! Eldora pledges to enhance the skier experience as their primary focus for the upcoming 2010-11 ski season. The resort is looking to capitalize on another snowy winter after receiving well over their annual 300 inches of snowfall last season. Making the learning facilities more beginner friendly is Eldora's key element in introducing new skiers and snowboarders to the sport. They began by removing two lower mountain chairlifts, Tenderfoot 1 and Tenderfoot 2, and replacing them with a magic carpet. The new "lift" will facilitate beginning skiers and riders in getting up the mountain for the first time without having to load a chairlift. The magic carpet will be usable year round. Hikers, bikers, and other summer visitors will be able to park at the base Eldora , and within steps, load the Tenderfoot lift. Experienced guests can take advantage of improved gladed skiing this winter. Crews have spent...

Yesterday Stella and I went to Boulder for registration night for her ski team. It was exciting to see a bunch of people that we typically don't see throughout the summer but see every weekend throughou t the winter. It was fun to watch the kids get all ramped for the snow to start flying! Stella's Team from last year!!! If you happen to be in Boulder on Sept 30 th , at 7pm, come check out this sweet new movie (with proceeds going to the ski team)!!! A few guys I know are in it and from what I've heard, it rocks! A fun night out and for a great cause!!! Hope the weekend was great! Much Love!
