Takeout...

It is such a luxury around here. Living up in the mountains where we do, no one seems to want to deliver anything up here. It's a bit of an adjustment since you have to come up with something to make to eat EVERY night even on the really busy nights. Its not like it's easy to run out and grab a quick bite to eat or have anything delivered, not that we did it that often when we lived in the city but it's nice having that option. Well tonight was Stella's night for piano down in Lyons (there's still no take out there) so I busted a move after I dropped her off at piano and drove the 15 miles to Longmont to pick up some Chinese takeout! It worked out perfectly, just as I pulled into her teachers driveway they were walking out the door at the end of her class. Mission accomplished, we had takeout for dinner. WOOT. I can't tell you the last time we had takeout up here. It's funny the little things you miss every now and then, living up in the mountains. Not that I would trade it for the world, I love it up here, it's where we belong! But I won't lie and say it wasn't nice to have takeout for once.

On a random note...here is what Stella and I bought at Old Navy on Sunday. Too bad that it got cold again....there's still tons of summer clothes to buy but at least we got a few basics to get us started....can't wait for summer!

One more random note....Sunday was such a beautiful day that we all got a little too much sun in the park, but it was well worth it. Being out in the sunshine refuels my soul. The picture below is of Stella at Wash park, while we were playing a great game of frisby!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

Ski Team!

A few weeks ago Stella started training with the Eldora Ski Team every Saturday. Now Saturday's can't come soon enough. I get up at 6 and get Stella up at 6:30 and we are out the door by 7. Usually we get up to Eldora around 8:30 after making a stop to get mama coffee and Stella and donut or two! :) By 9am Stella is ripping up the slopes with her coach (Dave) and 5 other little girls her age. She is having such a blast it's hard to believe we didn't do this sooner. I never noticed these signs before and thought it was pretty cool the ski area was showing some love to the local ski programs. Stella proceed to then inform me that they've been there for quite some time. Oops! :) Stella and two of her little ski buddies! Stella ripping up the GS course! At the end of the day which is usually at 3 all the kids have to help tear down the course. Stella is doing such an awesome job that it makes me one proud mama. Much Love!!!

Muddy...

It's coming along..... We had a rainy, wet Saturday but we got a few more rocks added to the wall. Mom and Dad got tons done over the last few days! After this pic was taken it got WAY muddier, that's when we really started digging in the dirt! Wishing everyone a lovely weekend. Much Love!
