Troy-boy and I took the opportunity today to hit the hill and have a little date-day! We were predicted to get over a foot of snow last night but this morning we woke up to only a few inches of fluff. That didn't stop us from pulling out the fatty skis and cruisin the mountain all day. We dropped off Stella at school and scooted over Swan Mountain to Keystone.  My Rossi Fatties! Love them!   We only brought along our little pocket camera but Troy still managed to make me look good!    :)   I hate fuzzy pictures but I love this one. We look miserable right?!? He he,...like kids in a candy shop!  Mid day we took a walk over the bridge into Keystone Village to grab a quick snack and check out duckies we ran into. For as much time that I've spent at ski areas I can honestly say I've never ran  into ducks at the base of the mountain. They were pretty happy getting some granola from Troy!  Lunch of ...

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 littl...

Its been a super week, Stella is on winter break so we've been doin lots of playing. We got to spend a few days at the Jolly Ranch with Papa and Nana B. It was pretty great but I think it's time we see Babi and Deda soon, it's been a while (we miss them)!!  :) Deda (my dad) and the CU Buffs are up in Montana this week and we are sending them lots of fast ski vibes and some major kicks ass mojo!  I got this pic with my iPhone (have had it for quite awhile and it still amazes me) in South Park on the way to the Jolly Ranch.  Lovin Colorado!    A little random (then again, not really)..... So grateful for EVERYONE in our stratosphere. Off to Eldo tomorrow so Stella can train with her team and to have another great family day out on the hill. We miss Taylor and Jordan so much and wish they were here visiting but......we smile, we love and we keep moving forward!  Sending out so much love and gratitude. 

Love this! Love YOU!  Love and Gratitude

Spending a few days at the Jolly Ranch with Stella, Bill and Becky! SO grateful for this time.  Love and Gratitude!

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind and trouble will follow you, like the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you, as your shadow unshaken. In this world, hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the Law, ancient and inexhaustible. We are what we think. Buddha Palms up... Love and Gratitude.
