one minute sun, next minute snow....

Yesterday after work and picking up Stella from her play practice, we headed home only to turn right back around and head back into town to grab some dinner. Right as we pulled out of our drive and onto our street we ran into two moose, they looked a bit grey and old and maybe a little grumpy because of the weather. All day it had been a bit overcast with a few rain showers but I definitely wasn't expecting to go to dinner and walk out to a snow storm!

No snow on the ground at 6pm.

7:30 and after dinner.....SNOW! Woo! We had dinner at Downstairs at Eric's where there are no windows so imagine our surprise seeing this when we walk out of the restaurant. Stella in flip flop and shorts, yeesh!!!

This morning, sunny and beautiful! One of the MANY things about living in Colorado. Tomorrow all the snow will be gone and I'll be back to wearing skirts, summer dresses and flip flops!

The view to the right out our living room windows. If you look closely you can see the back side of Keystone. If you looked left we live right under the Ten Mile range, you'd see Peak 6, 5 and 4. Blessed to live in such a KICK-ASS place!

Happy weekend! Finally a few days off and no work on Sunday! Woot!

Love and Gratitude!

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!!!
