March Recap

We started off the month with a trip to Nederland for Frozen Dead Guy Days, which celebrates grandpa who is kept frozen in a Tuff Shed....true story and no joke! The town finally decided to embrace the local celebrity with coffin races, etc. It was a good time. We also got to see A-Train on St. Patrick's Day, which is always a fun time! Chris had to go to Vegas for work, so our friend Jeffrey met him out there for a climbing trip at Red Rock. I am so proud of him for actually taking the camera with him and taking photos.

February Gone Already?

Okay, I have really been slacking in my posts this year! Chris has been on the road most of the month and I have been getting the house ready for the remodel. We did take a fun trip to Steamboat Springs earlier this month. This was before all the snow came to town, but we found some really good snow on the back side. Mark was on the slopes three days in a row and it seems his din setting was too high...he feel and the ski didn't pop off. He got to take a ride down in the toboggan and a trip to the hospital. We couldn't help but have a little fun with him. A stop at the Strawberry Hot Springs was our favorite activity. That place is awesome!

Christmas Catch Up

Okay, so it has been a while since I've posted. We headed to Alabama for Christmas and had a really good time with family. It is hard to believe that 2011 has come and gone!

WINDOWS!!!

We've got a game plan for our basement, which is in desperate need of an update. We are in the process of completing Phase I, which included putting in a new furnance with a humidifier and replacing the windows at the front of the house. It is hard to believe how much of a difference it makes!

Wildlife Animal Sanctuary

Today we went to the Wildlife Animal Sanctuary, which has been on my Colorado bucket list for some time. It was worth the drive and really cool to see a 800 pound tiger so close. Their goal is to one day have them all in the open space, but they have to take steps to socialize them before doing so. Chris was a big fan of the wolves and we even saw some bears fighting.

There is also a funny video of Maddie. I put her in her "booties" so that we could take a walk in the snow. She was either standing still or scared to put her feet down.

Chicago with the Barnettes

Last weekend, we met up with Andy and Lauren Barnette in Chicago. It was really fun to hang out with them and what a great city! We took a river boat tour and a bike ride of the city. We also were able to catch up with some of Chris' former and current co-workers. It was windy, but overall some nice weather. I think my favorite thing was Cloud Gate aka "the bean".

Been a while...

It has been a while since I made a post! Chris went down to Eleven Mile Canyon with our friend Jeffrey for some climbing and camping. We have been visiting the bike park as well. Chris has been going a lot since buying his dirt jumper. He is already doing the large size jumps.

On Friday, we took our neighbor Nelson to the infamous Casa Bonita. It was all I could have imagined and more! We had a really fun time watching the cliff divers and playing in the arcades.
