In April, we started a full-fledged kitchen remodel. Complete with new paint, cabinets, counter tops, sink/faucet, range and microwave. Whew! Six months later we finally selected a back splash tile and still don’t have a matching dishwasher. All in good time.That said, I absolutely love my new kitchen – the double range, the large center […]

A Trip to CA
The plan was for Noah to travel to California to refinish the floors in my parents house. I had some time off work, so Logan and I hitched along and made a vacation out of it. Not only did Logan get to spend time with both sets of grandparents, his aunt and uncles, he also […]
Celebrating 30 Years
Memorial Day was Noah’s 30th birthday. Every time I would ask him what he wanted to do, he would tell me, “nothing”. That’s a bit boring for a milestone birthday. It works out nicely that friends of ours host an annual Memorial Day BBQ at their house that we always attend. So this year, I […]
Mythical Creatures
This post is mostly for Gretna to prove they really do exist!
Georgetown
Just a few shots of some of the buildings in Georgetown because I love history and architecture: This is the most beautiful post office! Jailhouse c. 1870
On the Tracks…
This weekend we headed up the hills to Georgetown to take a ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad. Logan loves trains but had yet to actually ride on one. Not too shabby for his first train ride to be with a coal-fueled steam engine. 🙂 Logan loved the train ride and watching the cars move […]
Not According to Plan
If I had my way, this year for Mother’s Day the weather would have been warm, sunny and we would have spent some time up in the mountains. Instead, it was cold (40s), gloomy, cloudy and threatening rain (although barely a drop fell). Even in Colorado, I didn’t want to be outside in it for […]
Living with Syndromes
I’m not quite 30, and yet I have already been diagnosed with two syndromes: patellofemoral and cubital tunnel. The good news about these is that they are treatable with physical therapy and lifestyle changes. With the patellofemoral, my kneecaps like to slide off course and grind into my femur. Sounds lovely, no? I started PT […]
Egg-Extravaganza! – Part Two and Three
Logan was not limited to one egg hunt this year, but three (or four if you count the two we had in our yards…more on that later). Our church holds a community egg hunt each year, but one that teaches the resurrection story. Logan was pretty cranky and uncooperative during most of it. Again eggs […]
Egg-Extravaganza! – Part One
Have I mentioned how much I love living in a small town? Things are much more quaint and activities are free! The city puts on an annual Easter egg hunt. One at the lake for the older kids, and one in Old Town for the younger. This year Logan was up to the challenge, so […]
