Catching Up……….
Isn’t it funny that when you have so much to journal or blog about that you don’t have as much time to do so? We have had an A-Mazing Summer, truly. Even in the midst of my sweet Mom’s surgeries, we have made some of the sweetest memories.
My hope is to finish our travel log from our First Family Vacation in addition to up [...]
A Special Treat For The Girls
Today was a very special day for me; I was able to treat Mom to a day at the Salon. My precious hairdresser got Gillian, Mom and I in for some pampering at the last minute. The setting was tranquil and calming. Shawna has a lovely waterfall and pond just outside from where we were getting our hair done, you could see not only us shedding [...]
The Making of a Family Vacation
For the past couple of years we have tried to plan a couple of different family vacations and for a variety of reasons they didn’t work out. Hayden and Gillian were so gracious and understanding when we didn’t make it to Mount Rushmore last Summer but they continued to talk about going somewhere out of Colorado. We have created [...]
Not Leaving My Day Job Anytime Soon
With three pooches it is a juggling act getting them all in for shots and grooming, especially when you try to spread them out so that the ‘sticker price’ doesn’t shock your finances too much.
This time however, our groomer got over-booked. Bennett and Zippy got in on time but, poor Piper’s appointment is still two [...]

Monday: Gillian finally has a loose tooth. We start our new reading streak. Day one of one hundred.
Tuesday: Chivalry re [...]

Holiday Recap! Let̵ [...]
The Precious Little Things
My favorite days are days that are not so jam packed that I can sit back and enjoy the blessings around me.
Our Fall break starts out just like that.
After getting SUPERB reports from both kids teachers at Parent Teacher Conference on Thursday I realize how blessed we are this year to have such great teachers for our precious kids. Both te [...]
“What We Did this Summer”...
With nearly two weeks of school under our belt, I am left with the precious memories of Summer 2009 as we have reluctantly let go of the carefree, fun filled summer days and traded them in for days full of routine and school.
We spent a lot of time this summer camping and exploring the mountains of our beautiful state. We spent one weekend [...]
Camping ’09
Can I just say, “I LOVE COLORADO!!?”
We are so blessed to live in a state that is so lovely. There are so many wonderful areas that we could spend our whole life exploring places around here.
Why am I going on about this so much? Well, as crazy as our summer wasn’t supposed to be (but IS), it was such a blessing to head ou [...]
