It Has Been A While...

Well, it has been a while since our last post. It has been busy with Chris being out of town most of the time during the weekdays. He has been in Atlanta, then he did some training her in Boulder, and this week he is in Florida. Tonight we are going to see Warren Miller's new film Children of Winter with some friends. I have a feeling this will get us fired up to skiing for the weekend. I'll take some photos!

Below is just some random photos. We bought the dogs a dragon outfit for Halloween of the clearance rack at Target. However, large wasn't as big as we thought it would be, but it was worth the $0.99 for the laughs. Chris went fly fishing last Saturday with some friends. Today I woke up and it had finally snowed at our house!

It's Time to Ski!

Chris and me went up to Loveland Pass today to watch our friend Josh ski. It was fun to watch, but REALLY cold and windy. Afterwards, we road down the mountain to A-Basin to take a few runs to start of the season. It was a good time!

We Have Company...

Ms. Slaughter came to town this week. Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch and made a pumpkin pie. It was really yummy, but a lot of work. Today we went on a walk near our house. It has been a really nice week with temperatures in the 70s.

Great American Beer Festival

This weekend we went to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO. The weather was cold and rainy, but it was a awesome time inside!

The House

I thought I would post a before and after picture of the house. We still have a ways to go, but it is getting closer! We are going to get a nice wooden door, expand the front porch, and re-do the landscaping.

A Dog's Life

The dogs have been spoiled again with Chris out of town since they get to sleep in the bed with me at night. There pads were looking pretty rough, so we got them some new ones that arrived today. They weren't too sure about them at first, but have warmed up to them. I also included a picture of the curtains my mom made for the "blue room". Thanks mom!

Gold Hill and House Updates

Chris and me rode our mountain bikes up to Gold Hill today from our house. It was about a 24 mile round trip. However, it took us 3 hours to get there because it was all up hill with significant elevation gain. It took us less than one hour to get home. We stopped at the Gold Hill General Store, which was really good. Gold Hill is a neat little mountain town. I don't really know if you can call it a town...more like a street. However, it does have its own general store, hotel, and antique store.

I also included some pictures of the house after the painting was done. Our tree is starting to change colors. Fall is in the air....which means skiing is not very far away!
