I look forward to going home someday, until then I am so blessed to call Colorado my home on earth. I often dream of living other places, but really I cannot imagine living any place more beautiful and full of wonder.
Hiking will always make me feel close to God. You can see God’s love for beauty. From rivers, rocks, trees and animal [...]

Corn Maze Fun
Our first ever visit to the Corn Maze was this year. We felt this was the first year the kids were both old enough to be able to really enjoy it and the day turned out to be so much fun. We went up with my sister, Nicole and our friends. We broke into two groups; the boys went one direction and the girls took the other direction.
The fun part [...]
Fall Break
It did not seem like the kids had been in school very long, but we sure did welcome the Fall Break. No lunches, getting to sleep in and having fun together.
The week really was just as close to perfection as you could possibly expect. The kids had a couple of playdates with school buddies to start the week off, which is always a treat! [...]
A Day on the Railroad as a Family
“Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly.”
This of course was not a worry for my Gillian, however running out of fuel was her big concern. Especially when t [...]
Castlewood Canyon

It is always so fun to get them out to explore new places, they were so fun to hike with. Gillian enjoyed being our guide and leader, while Hayden along with Daddy were our pho [...]
Loving My New Computer
If you know me, I am rarely ever without my camera. A few years ago I had gotten serious about my picture taking but rarely did I ever do much with them. I look forward to doing something about that with the wonderful new computer that my hubby got for me. I have been having a lot of fun playing with my photo’s. It is simply amazing [...]
Fun Fall Family Walk
This Fall has been spectacular in COLORado Springs this year. The mountains may have lost their leaves early, but it is November 2nd and some of our deciduous trees are still holding onto their colorful leaves.
Winding Path
Unable to resist the beauty and the amazingly mild temperatures we decided to get out for a Nature walk along Santa Fe [...]
Happy Apple Farm
A good dose of Fall can always be had at the Happy Apple Farm.
Happy Apple Farm
I love our tradition of going each year with our friends, it is sort of the ringing in of Fall for us.
It is all about the experience and being with friends because I am pretty sure that the pumpkins were shipped in once they ran out, not to mention the premiums w [...]
Working on the Nature & Wildlife...
This is Gillian’s second year as an American Heritage Girl. This year she gets to wear a “real uniform” and is having fun earning her badges. I have to say, now that I am understanding everything a little better, I am enjoying it a lot more . It has been a blessing to work with Gillian on earning new badges and to watch h [...]
