Unfortunately, Brittany had to work so she couldn’t come. 🙁 We drove up and around near Mount Evans and got some pretty pictures and enjoyed the cool weather. We thought about driving […]
Uh, what just happened? We woke up this morning and it had snowed about 5-6 inches! In May? What is up with that? Well, we made the best of it, and the boys do what boys do best… went out and played in it until they were frozen solid! 🙂 They build a big snowman

While I was gone to the Priesthood Session of General Conference, Angela threw a Veggie Tales party that she had won on-line. It was pretty funny to see how much fun the kids had… Angela got all kinds of stuff in the mail for this party along with the video. There were masks, posters, coupons,
Today we decided to take a family trip down to Garden of the Gods (by Colorado Springs and Pike’s Peak). Brittany had to work so she wasn’t able to come with us. We took a picnic lunch down there and really enjoyed ourselves. It was pretty busy, so we had to eat our picnic in
