Prater Cup....

After a few days of craziness in Vegas, I headed straight to CB (Crested Butte) to meet up with Troy and Stella that were already there for a day. On a little side note, I would sooooooo much rather be in CB then in Vegas, much more my pace. Anyways, I missed the first training day of SG but I was there just in time to catch all the real action. It's been about 18 years since I made my way over to the Butte and the last time I was there was for Sax's wedding! Eeeek. 
I raced the Dan Prater Memorial about 22 years ago and it was just as exciting watching as a parent as it was being a kid at the race. I have some awesome memories from then and now! 

Could Crested Butte be more beautiful!

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! :)
