Pictures

I decided to do a separate post with all the pictures

because there are a lot of them. The pictures are out of order

but here you go, the last 3 months.

My wonderful Mother in law taught me how to

make receiving blanket for two baby showers

I went to in October. They were very

easy to make and a lot of fun.

Here is my Christmas wreath. I am

proud of how it turned out. It goes with our

red door too!

For those of you who do not know,

we have adopted one of Mykie's

cats. He was being beaten up

by the other cats at his mom's house.

His name is Ninja. Honey and

the cat love to pay together. Honey gets

very jealous though. She is trying to kick the cat

off the bed. She usually wins.

They do like each other.

Here is Ninja under the Christmas tree.

Winter in October

Fall was like maybe two weeks and
then we had snow. Gotta love Colorado.

The backyard. We got 5 feet of snow
October 29, 2009

We had a lot of leaves. In fact,
we are still trying to get rid of
the bags.

Garden of the Gods

The end of October, Steve sister Melissa & Brody (her baby)
came to visit us. Sue (Steve's Mom) came to help
us with babysitting that week while Melissa worked in Denver.
That weekend we took them to Colorado Springs, The Garden of
the Gods. It is a very pretty place to see all the pretty
red rock formations.

Mykie and Honey

Melissa's baby Brody. He is so cute!

He is also the best dressed baby you

will ever see.

Random Pictures!

Honey loves to sleep in our bed.

Honey's Halloween Pictures

I made this big pillow for Honey.

It's a pillow with Fleece pillow case.

I put buttons on one side so I can take it off

to wash it. This is me trying to be crafty.

Honey loves the snow!

Our first snow came early in October.

This is a Halloween/Thanksgiving wreath I made.

CAMPING TRIP-LABOR DAY

Kenosha Pass

Mykie and Honey

The Aspen trees were so Beautiful.

I took this action shot of Mykie running into the trees.

All four of us.

Steve and I

We found these cool forts on our hike.

Just perfect for Mykie to hide in.

The view from out hike.

I decided I am not very good at blogging. I like to read friends blogs and see what is going on in there lives but forget to update mine. I realized it's been since August that I have posted anything. I decided it was time for an update! It took me awhile to upload all the pictures and that is when I realized I really should update my blog more often. I have posted a second post with all our pictures.

Labor Day we went camping at Kenosha Pass with friends. We had fun hiking, roasting marshmallows, and just hanging out. We went on a hike were we found cool forts that were made out of logs and a cool look out point. I think we finally found a good camp groud we want to go back to. It only took us 2 years. It's called Kenosha Pass. The nice thing is there's a lot to do and close to us but fall enough away.

September 11, 09, Steve's cousin got married in Seattle. We flew up there for the wedding. Steve was photographing the wedding with his mom and her partner Karina. I was helping them, well trying to. I am learning the ropes of photography as we continue to try and build our business in Colorado. This way I can help Steve, I am even trying to learn to take better pictures. Which I might add is pretty fun and addicting.

In October, I had a lot of fun decorating our house for Halloween and handing our candy. Everything is new when you buy a house and I was way excited.

10/21/2009-Steve and I celebrated out 3rd anniversary. I can not believe we have been married for 3 years. Time flys by so fast. We made dinner at our home and gave each other a small gift. It was fun to watch our wedding video and reflect upon that day. If anyone knows, after buying a house you are broke. It was still a very fun day.

In November, Steve turned the BIG 30! Steve' parents flew all of us up to Seattle to spend his birthday with all the family. We worked up on Saturday, had breakfast with the whole family. Then we went bowling. We were surprised when Steve's oldest sister Melissa was there. We did not know she was coming. After bowling we came back to his parents house and went for a motorcycle ride. It was very cold but worth it. Then we had dinner and opened presents. We also celebrate two other birthdays, his nieces and cousins. Later that night we played games with family and some of Steve's friends that came over. His parents sure know how to throw a party.

Before we knew it, Thanksgiving was here. I cooked again this year, which I was very excited to do. I always cook the turkey too soon but everything turned out good. We had our friends the Seavy's over for dinner. Then we watched Christmas movies. It fun to spend the holidays with friends, especially if you don't have family around.

Now it is Christmas, two weeks away. With all the hassle and bessel of Christmas shopping I am glad we are pretty much done. Now I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit, I have had a hard time the last 2 years but I am trying to remember what it is all about. I am looking forward to driving to Utah to spend time with my family for New Years., it's been 2 years since I have been home. Hopefully I will get some pictures up from our trip before February. HEHEHE

2 Month Update

I wanted to just give a quick update since I have not posted anything on my blog for almost over two months now. It seems once you buy a house everyone wants to come see you. Not that I mind this but we have had a lot of company these last few months, which is why I have not posted in a while. We first had my grandma who came the last week in May, we had fun taking her to boulder and walking around Pearl Street. We love to go to Boulder because it is the greenest place we have found in Colorado, why we love it. Then Steve's brother Jake came for a weekend. Then we had my sister and her boyfriend for a weekend while they attended a class in Denver. We had fun playing the wii and Mario cart tell midnight almost every night. The last week in July I flew out to St. George, Utah for Krista's wedding! I was so excited to be there and to help with everything. I threw her a bridal shower, which was a challenge not living in the same state but with the help of her new mother in law and her mom we were able to pull it off and had a great time. The wedding was beautiful and I am so excited for her.
The next week was mine and Mykie's birthdays. August is always a big month for us with two birthdays. Steve was off work with Mykie all week. My mother in law came into town on my birthday. She took all of us to the movies and to my favorite restaurant, The Olive Garden. She also bought me some beautiful flowers. She spoils me too much. Thank you Sue. Steve and Mykie surprised me by making me a birthday cake. Steve does not bake, so I was very excited he tried for me. They made my birthday very special. My dad and sister came on Thursday and stayed for the weekend. This is the first time my dad has been out to see me and I was very excited. This made my birthday even better.
Saturday was Mykie's birthday, we celebrated at Boondocks and later that night took both our families to the Rockies game. It was a busy weekend but it was so good to spend time with all our family. The pictures are out of order, like usual, but are some pictures from all our events.
