Cave of the Winds

I recently went with Christen on her first grade field trip to the Cave of the Winds. It has really cool Limestone formations and stalagtites and stalagmites. The class was very excited to ride the bus because they usually dont get that chance. It was a very fun trip.

Perfect Day at the Zoo

While the kids were on fall break we took a day to use our zoo pass and went to the Denver Zoo with some great friends of ours. It was the perfect fall day!! Long sleeve weather, not too hot not windy - suuny and beautiful --just right!!It was a great day to be alive and enjoy the outdoors. I love those days when it is just fun to be with family and friends and enjoy nature without any weather worries!!

OOPS! Did it again!!

I was trying to add music to our slideshow after seeing Keri's and then I had duplicates!! Yikes- There was the same music playing at different times for awhile!! I gotta figure this stuff out. Have a great weekend! During this fall break we have been to the zoo, rec center pool, with friends, and bowling. I am always amazed at my kids after a full day of activities and they sit down for a minute, turn to look at me and say,"what are we doing when we get home!" Does anyone else out there get that?? It is time for school next week!!

Our Family

Snowy Sunday

Just for the record, it snowed here yesterday, Oct 14th. I knew fall would not last too long. I took a picture of Christen by our reddish tree just in case. Although, today was a beautiful fall day again.

Go Rockies!!

On a Roll

Wow, am I on a roll or what?!? Last night we had our Friday Frenzy craft night at church when I learned from my friend how to do the slide shows. I also learned the very important skill of Cinnamon Roll making!! I have always been entirely impressed when people make cinnamon rolls for their family and friends. As it turns out they are not that hard to make. I was so proud of myself. At this very moment my kids are begging me to make more. Maybe I am a good mom after all!! Yesterday I was very domestic all day actually - cleaning the house, making fluffy oven pancakes, making homemade applesauce in the crock pot (I mentioned that I love fall right) and I also managed to make some wheat bread as a trial run but I did cheat and did the dough in the breadmaker. Part of the reason I kept myself busy was that the kids are on Fall break now so doing these projects helps to not make me crazy! Maybe I will get a lot done this next week!

Learning New Tricks!

OK - now I know why people love blogging. Its so fun to learn new things. A friend of mine told me to check out her blog slide show and there is an easy link if you want to try it. ( Sorry Keri I didnt get to your way) Anyhow the top slides are from our South Dakota trip - sorry they are mostly sideways-- I will work on my technique. The lower slides are a few of the shots that Todd's friend from work took of us. She is taking a photography class and needed a family to practice on. The best part was that she gave us the disc for free and took MANY pictures. We are set for Christmas and everything!!!
