I woke up to the sun rising into a clear sky and thought the forecast for snow might be a bit off. It wasn’t. Within a half hour, the sky was covered with a thick fog that brought snow. It’s been -13C most of the afternoon, but I layered up and got some photos. I […]

Well, after a two week delay due to weather, we finally had Castleview’s second Harvest Fest and it was a terrific day. There were brand new games, a cream-pie-in-the-face-auction, incredible food and so much more fun stuff. Every thanksgiving we try to help out families in the church who may be struggling financially and at […]

Last week we were the happy recipients of a fabulous two feet of snow so it only made sense to spend a Saturday afternoon taking advantage of it. Bob and Myrna were so much fun! The weather was warm enough to spend time sledding at their place, but chilly enough to fill up on hot […]

We went climbing again this weekend and are trying to soak in the last, few, warm days before the snow sets in to stay. We were in Castlewood Canyon for the first time and had some great climbs. Chris succeeded with his first lead climb, and I did my first self-repel. It’s still a bit […]

Chris and I have been wanting to go climbing here in beautiful Colorado ever since we’ve moved out here, and today we were able to go. We went with a new friend of ours who moved onto our street with his wife a couple months ago. Due to my recent back injury, I was not […]

Chris and I went camping with some friends this past weekend and stayed in the best camping spot yet. Bob and Merna have been in the area several times in the past years and wanted us to go. It was incredible. We had to drive four hours exactly to get there, but the area was […]

I can never wait for Christmas. I guess I just can’t believe this summer is half over. A friend of mine had a diffuser in her kitchen that smelled like spiced cider and I could almost hear snow whipping around the trees. I shouldn’t smell it anymore…
I don’t think I’ve posted much this month, but […]

A friend of ours is staying with us this weekend and we’re trying to show him a bit of beautiful Colorado. Yesterday we went to Rocky Mountain National Park and here are a few shots from our trip. The boys are driving up Pike’s Peak today, but I opted out.
Chris and I hadn’t been this […]

We spent Sunday afternoon with friends and I’ve just had the chance to post photos now… It was a beautiful day so we spent it outside.  By the way, you’ve never seen cuter kids on bicycles. Or with a cuter pup ;)

Chris stumbled upon a new site today and was instantly hooked. It’s called geocaching and is a growing trend all over the world. He has been explaining it to me all afternoon and I’m beginning to understand the draw. Basically, people who enjoy finding stuff, digging for treasure, solving puzzles, or adventures of the outdoor […]
