Baking weekend...

Has now commenced!!! Since Monday this week, Shell has been working hard to get her baking day together. I've helped out a couple nights, including the night of her birthday which was Tuesday! Pictures will follow, if not tommorow then Sunday! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little late... This year I spent the holiday with my Greeley family, as my parents were in Florida with my Grandpa, and I didn't want to leave Paul alone since he had to work. My Greeley mom made the most fabulous pecan pie!! Seriously to die for. She was afraid it wouldn't turn out because she left it in the oven a little long. Truth be told, that may have made it better!! Hope you all had a very blessed day!!

Cats gone wild

I bought a couple of new scratch pads for the kids and rubbed some catnip on them. I'll post a video on You Tube eventually... That and the excitement of Christmas on the way has got the kitties going crazy!! Mickey is fascinated with the lights. I really don't think it has much to do with the fact that they're on a string!!

Way FM Concert

Featuring Building 429 and Aaron Shust. Paul and I really enjoyed Building 429. Aaron was good, just unfortunately not as great as I thought he'd be!! Paul did love his bass guitarist though! He's in the red in the second picture. It was a fun night!! Definitely worthy of my 100th post!!

A Riding We Will Go!

My sister has ALWAYS dreamed of having a horse, and a few years back her dream came true. She loves Bucky (short for Buckshot) to death!! Of course, the girls have all gotten in to the horse spirit as well. So much so that Morgan and Shelby compete, and Kassidy is riding by herself at the age of 6!! And to share the barn and keep Bucky company, they also have Caleb and Lily, the goats!

A Drippy Bath

Paul and both his parents share birthdays around the same time, so again we celebrated a 3 for 1. I'm guessing something happened to a couple of the letters, and "A Drippy Bath" is what Steph and Cynthia created from the leftovers. A nice time was had by all!!

It figures...

I've actually been trying to post several blogs over the past 3 days and eBlogger just doesn't seem to like my pictures. So much for staying caught up!

Kittens

I went over to Steph's house with her and her mom the weekend before last to visit the kittens. There are 10 of them!! They're adorable and all over the place, and it was not at all hard for me to resist the urge to ask to take one of them home. 4 is more than enough for me!

Peek-a-Boo

Paul and I often watch movies in the den. The kids like to watch US through the doors!

Halloween

I actually dressed up this year!! Strongly influenced by Paul, of course... We chose a Bride of Darkness costume for me, and he was a Victorian skeleton.


Madison is getting so big!!!


My once a year visit with Lori and her kids, Ethan and Sierra (holding pumpkin Nala). I think they seriously grow at least a foot every year!!

Chili, "Young Frankenstein", candy and trick-or-treaters...what more could you ask for on Halloween?!

Manitou Springs

I planned a big surprise weekend for Paul's birthday on the 28th. I booked a room in Manitou Springs, one of his favorite places, and made reservations for a Murder Mystery Dinner at the Briarhurst Manor. Now, Paul is an actor at heart, and Halloween is his favorite holiday. I was way excited to find that dinner at the Briarhurst because I knew it would be right up his alley!! Then I got with his sister and invited her and the rest of the fam to come up and spend some time with us while we were down that way. She and their mom came up and went to the Emma Crawford parade and coffin races with us, had some lunch, shopped/ate our way around town a bit, and then headed back down to Pueblo. Paul was way surprised to see them Saturday morning!! We had a great weekend away and have chatted about making it a tradition to visit Manitou at Halloween-time from now on!
