We are so fortunate where we live to have some really cool parks within a five-mile radius of our home. One of the places that we like to frequent is a splash pad… although I am not sure if that is what it is really called. It is a very unassuming grate and in the center water sprays out. Often…
In 2008 hubby bought our oldest son a Strider bike and I was a little upset at the price tag. Over the years I have come to realize that the up front price tag is nothing! This weekend little brother decided that he wanted to ride a pedal bike and so he did. There was no running behind him up…
So while we were gone that one suspicious chicken turned out to be a rooster. I guess he was letting our neighbor know that he wanted to get out of the coop at about eight every morning. So the crowing came and I witnessed his morning teenage crow this morning. Little mister has found another home, a quick post on…
After a fun filled week in Steamboat Springs I am so glad to be back home as a family of five. It is good to have all my boys here with me. Hubby decided that he is going to take the rest of the week off and we are going to just spend time together as a family. So while…
Before we left for the family reunion hubby made a list of a few places that he wanted to visit while in Steamboat Springs. Fish Creek Falls was one of those locations that hubby wanted to visit. When we arrived I was blown away by the lush green. There were ferns growing every where lending itself to a magical feeling. …
Steamboat Springs really does have a lot to offer. Gondola square during the summer is a hub bub of activities. Hubby was not satisfied with just hanging out in the little stream that runs through gondola square… that man wanted to hike the three miles up a 2,500 incline to the top of Steamboat Springs mountain. What? Really? Yep, I…
One of the neat things about hosting the family reunion in Steamboat Springs is that there are so many things for everyone to do. This weekend there is a hot air balloon rodeo in town, an art festival, a rodeo and many other events. This morning we woke up bright and early and headed to launches. It was one of…
What could be better than family and fun? Well with the family reunion in full swing a few of us ladies had a fun night planned. A few weeks ago my aunt had mentioned doing a “Van Gogh and Merlot” on Facebook which got some chatter going about trying to get a group together while at the reunion. I then…
Today was a very long and emotional day for me. Today, I took a trip with my mom, my aunt and my uncle to the Rocky Mountain National Park to say good bye to my grandma Caw. I knew that this was coming, when my grandma passed away, her wishes were to be spread in the mountains in Colorado. With…
One really nice thing about big brothers being gone is it has allowed me to spend some one on one time with little brother. We have had lots of time to snuggle. While we have been at parks I have engaged with him and him alone. For nap times I have laid down next to him in his bed or…
