pure joy...and some randomness....

With the weekend finally coming to a close, I sit here at my new little office space totally in love with my husband, daughter and this life that we are living. We had a very normal weekend filled with skiing, cleaning the house and doing the laundry in anticipation of the week to come, and of course some GREAT family time. Feeling blessed to be here in the now....

Today Troy and I had our first Watts, family, lasagna, cook off. Stella was our blind taste tester. I've come to find that maybe she's been watching a little too much Top Chef because she had some very in-depth, interesting critiquing going on. Ha, it was a hoot! Left-overs for the week! Woo-hoo!

Seriously addicted to these. We made a trip to Target today (the only place that carries these) and I couldn't resist. I love them so much I even post them in a blog......try them!

Two more of my "must haves" are these teas from World Market. The Vanilla Chai with a little cream and sugar and I'm in heaven and the Charges is a great mid-afternoon tea......try it.

Check out the new boots this girl got this week!!! Took them out this weekend paired with a "big girl" pair of skis and I "rocked" the mountain.....new found freedom from a great pair of GS boards and a stiff pair of boots....I'm in LOVE!

Thought I'd post this just because....PURE JOY on this girls face. I think we laughed hysterically for about 10 minutes when she showed up in the living room with black soot on her face and talking like a man and showing us her "mustache". Love this little one!

Sending out tons of Monday Love and Gratitude as we move into a new week!

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! :)

break #1....

Six weeks.....that's how long she has to have this thing on. It didn't happen playing pond hockey, it didn't happen skiing, it happen tripping down the sidewalk. I mean....REALLY!?!?! Much Love!

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!!!
