This fall has been incredibly special.  Our sweet girl, Kaia is the perfect addition to our family.  She has forced us to slow down, cuddle, and love on each other in a time that might otherwise be lost in the mundane tasks that are not important at all.  Kaia...

Summer of 2019 is one to remember!  Our biggest adventure was welcoming a new baby girl into the family (that story in another post) in August.  Knowing that another little was on her way, we wanted to be sure to have lots of adventures with Colton.  Cousin Maddie visited...

Weekend trip to Alamosa and the Great Sand Dunes on 5/31-6/2.  Great trip by all!  We drove the trailer to Alamosa and parked at the Gilmore ranch while the Fundalinskis and Conners stayed in Pat and Tom’s house.   This was Mike’s first trip to the dunes (he was working...

There are actually signs that say “Don’t mess with Texas” along the roadways.  Well, okay!  Although I’m sure the signs were mean as a reminder to keep the roads clean, it sort of fed into my mostly unfounded idea that Texans are a lot-bit sassy.  The only place in...

That’s right folks, WE BOUGHT A CAMPING TRAILER! Mike picked up our 2018 Outdoors RV Black Rock 23BKS in Spokane, Washington two months ago on a very long weekend of driving. Seriously long.  He drove 2,100 miles in 3 days.  We’ve been itching to take the new trailer out...

On Friday, the weather was so great that Colton and I rode bikes and had an ice cream cone.   I think it’s the first cone he’s ever had (can you believe that Pops?!?).  He was pretty amazed to find that you can eat the CONE too.  We’re still working...

A collection of pictures and wonderful memories from 2018 Christmas season.  Highlights include: Grandma Karen and Grandpa Tom visiting over Christmas A snowy night in Estes Park Christmas Eve at Grammie and Pops’ house Lots of playing with new toys! New Years Eve with friends Rob and Russell ”...

A sprinkle train charged through my kitchen yesterday and the cars were named Addie, Mae, and Colton.  The Fundalinski 3 came over yesterday for some cookie making extravaganza.  The day started with Grandma and Pops coming over with pancakes and sausage for breakfast.  The ladies started in on the...

The Halloween season was an absolute BLAST this year.  Colton learned about pumpkins, jumping in leaves, and trick-or-treating!  The pumpkins started with Donna giving him a pumpkin from her garden.  After that, he said, “pumpkin!” wherever we saw one…which is everywhere in October.  We’ve still yet to carve our...

We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on 9/27/18.  Our actual anniversary day was spent doing real married stuff.  This year, it meant unpacking and moving into our new home after a busy day of work and childcare.  We had a romantic dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Berthoud where...
