Here we are half way through(well, almost half way)another Monday. This Monday thing just keeps happening every single week. I've come to realize however, that even though most of us live for Friday and the weekend, we'd never get to that point without Mondays. It still isn't my weekday friend, and some weeks I dislike it much, much more than others, but knowing it must be Monday in order to get to my beloved weekend, makes it easier. Sometimes....;)
This brings me to autumn. It really is my favorite time of year. I love the days becoming shorter and cooler. It is hard to beat a crisp, sunny morning, looking out at the peak and drinking a hot cup of coffee. This morning I noticed how quiet and still everything seemed. Most of the trees have lost their leaves and everyone's grass is covered in a thick pile of them. This too, is something I love, stepping on them and hearing that familiar crunch. Even raking them is fun and we are always so thankful that we have a home to live in with a yard that needs to be raked. I love dragging out our sweaters and scarves and such. Even sweats to wear on a snowy, cold fall day. All having been stored away for months just waiting to be looked at and worn again. Of course the totally awesome Pumpkin Spice Latte is reason enough to love this time of year. In fact, pumpkin anything is reason enough! I love watching Avery frolic out back. She absolutely loves the cooler weather and would probably live outside if not for the fact that she is a big people dog and loves her people. :) In just a week will come the first of the fall events with Halloween. I love seeing all the little kiddies all dressed up. Some barely old enough to say trick or treat. :) Then of course comes what is probably the biggest food deal event of the year. Thanksgiving. The turkey will be our centerpiece once again this year. Looking back we have had quiet Thanksgivings and noisy, crowded ones. Both have their place and both have their pros. We've even spent 3 in England. Good times. One of our most loved ones was 2010 when we had all 4 kids here and Scott and Sue. We look forward to the day all 4 kids are here, again! Then of course the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will be upon us and we'll dig out our Christmas music and start the baking and decorating. Autumn truly is such a magical time of year. Jason knows about Santa this year making it the first time in a very long time that we've tip toed around quietly on Christmas Eve! Sad? Yes, in a way, but we're excited to watch him growing up.
This then brings me to politics. I do not believe November 6th can get here soon enough. OH.MY.GOSH! First to the Obama supporters, you are not going to sway my opinion and get me to vote for him. It isn't going to happen. I am conservative. He is not. I think he is probably the worst president we have ever had. And that is saying something considering we had to endure Carter! Obamacare has GOT to go for starters. Second, to the Romney supporters, I'm already voting for him. I am voting for him because he is the Republican running and the party at least for now, best fits into my conservative views. It doesn't mean I think he'll be a good president, it means I feel he will do a better job than Obama. It means being conservative I will never vote Democrat. Mostly, I do hope everyone of voting age goes out and votes. You have the right and freedom to do so. Do it.
And with that, I suppose since Avery is scatting up and down the stairs with one of my shoes in her mouth, I should probably intervene and rescue my poor shoe!

Life in our neck of the woods.....
I haven't blogged since July, possibly longer ago than that. I had good intentions of posting something new, truly I did. It's been crazy super busy as always for us and somehow blogging hasn't fit into my schedule. Such is life.
August found us back to school and starting 5th grade. We spent the first couple weeks reviewing, mostly. Well, that and the fact that I meandered around longer than anticipated and we were waiting for our actual curriculum in various subjects to arrive. In the end however, review is never a bad thing. The month went by super, super fast and before we knew it we had entered September.
September brought the eagerly awaited college football season. Of course if you pay attention, you know we are all Auburn. This year folks, is not our year. Most games have been shall we say, frustrating to say the least? The only game where we looked like a real team was against LSU. Our only hope this year at this point is to be a spoiler for other teams. We truly have really only seen one team that looks darn good and tough and that is South Carolina. They just look dominant. If I were a Bama, or LSU fan, I'd be awfully nervous at the prospect of playing them in the SEC Championship game.
Skip ahead a bit and here it is October already. Time is flying by so fast. Trick or treat will be a distant memory before long and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will be upon us. Our first with Avery and we can't wait. She's already dressing up for Halloween and she will be wearing reindeer antlers for Christmas. :)
Speaking of time flying by, lunch is over and it's time to get back to school for the afternoon. I'm sure Jason would be just as happy if I made a longer lunch, but sadly for him, that is not to be the case today. :)

Ramblings of a tired mom of a very energetic puppy....
I can't believe that we are less than 5 weeks away from college football! LESS than 5 weeks folks. How did THAT happen? Wasn't it just Easter. Wasn't it just Valentine's Day? And really, wasn't it JUST Christmas? I'm not complaining mind you, I think we can all agree that I love me some college football. Specifically some SEC football and most specifically, Auburn football. It always seems like it takes forEVER to be September and then with a blink of an eye, it's all over and you're left waiting til the next September. I love all that college football brings. The excitement, and good ole smack talkin'. It's great. I don't take it as seriously as some, and don't really get into the hard core, hateful talk that some get into, but the "we know it's all in good fun and at the end of the day truly is just a game" smack talk. We even enjoy going to Falcon games every year. It's not as big as other college football events, but it's in our town and Air Force is our 2nd favorite team. And this year....this year will be more than a little entertaining with Manning heading up the Broncos. We'll be keeping an eye on that for sure. Not a Broncos fan really, but Peyton is an SEC boy and we always wish SEC players well in the NFL. Even those pesky Bama players. =o)
Avery has certainly changed our daily life. Things we didn't put a lot of thought into, we now have to put said thought into. She is a chewer. We do have a couple of bones for her and even a plastic bone that you can put treats on. But even with that, if she finds something she deems chewable, especially plastic, she claims it as hers and prances off with it. :) She definitely loves her family. She has to be where we are. She will follow me from room to room as I'm cleaning for instance, just to lay down and go back to sleep. I think it is safe to say she has changed our lives for the better. It's amazing how much love you can have for a four legged animal that you never thought you would have.
I had another birthday this month. Funny how it happens every single year without fail. But I don't mind, it means I'm still alive and loving my life. I don't view 47 as old, which is funny since I remember being 27 and thinking it was super old. I don't miss being 27 or 37, I'm loving where I am now at 47. Not that there aren't things I miss from that time of my life, but I wouldn't want to go back. We had lunch at Olive Garden with Michael. Always good food and wine. Birthday cake was excellent. Kevin had the bakery do it in different shades of pink roses for me. Did facetime with Chris, Michelle, Sable and Bailey on Sunday followed by fried catfish and hush puppies. YUM.
Summer for us has been hot and dry. Too hot and too dry. Tired of the daily 90's and ready for some daily 60's. We are coming to an end of our break as we took July off from school. Starting back in August. We'll take the week of Thanksgiving off, the entire month of December, a bit of time around Jason's birthday, then some time off around Easter. Can't believe we're starting 5th grade. Unreal. AND our 4th year homeschooling. The majority of our curriculum is still christian based which we like. We love not having to be careful or cautious about using the word Christmas, or bible, or God. I know some excellent teachers, our kids have had some wonderful ones, but I love the quote, "I've seen the village and I don't want it raising my child." It's a personal choice for us and one we know isn't right for everyone. We respect that.
And finally, just a wee bit on the Chick Fil A issue. 1)I find it absurd that it even IS an issue. 2)Freedom of speech is just that, freedom.of.speech3)Regardless of what political party you affiliate yourself with, you cannot tell someone that believes something other than what you believe, that they can't have that opinion or that they cannot voice it .4)Not everyone believes what YOU believe, get over it. And finally 5) I do know that I have never and do not intend to start now, eating at or not, shopping at or not, or visiting places or not based on their opinion on gay marriage. It is after all, America and they after all, have the right to voice their opinion? Right? Not to mention I happen to LOVE Chick Fil A. Probably the best fast food out there.

Life lately at our house
Our anniversary was incredible. 26 years and counting. We weren't really able to celebrate our 25th with my just having had surgery. Being in pain and still on Vicidin doesn't really scream, "yay, it's our anniversary." Kevin, who just happens to be the world's most romantic husband, ordered a cake from a Lakewood bakery. It got it to look like the top tier of a wedding cake and it.was.delish! Oh my gosh it was so incredibly good.
Michael came and stayed overnight and watched Jason for us. It was nice knowing Jason would be taken care of and that we didn't have to worry about the two of them. We saw "Snow White And The Huntsman" and what a good movie. Not the best movie ever, but it was good. We had a fantastic and very romantic Italian dinner and spent the night in a downtown hotel with views of Pikes Peak. This incredible husband of mine also gave me beautiful roses. I feel so lucky and so blessed to have him. He is my rock and I love him.
We had breakfast at Village Inn before coming home and rescuing Michael. :) We relaxed during the day and went to a Sky Sox game that evening.
We've also celebrated Father's Day since my last blog post. We grilled some mighty tasty bacon wrapped steak and had some roasted, buttered potatoes with it. YUM. Kevin/daddy, also wanted egg custard, so I made one for him.
We also found online through a rescue agency northwest of Denver, a puppy we liked. After going through the adoption process, we now own said puppy. Honestly, we aren't quite sure exactly how old she is or what she is. The vet at the rescue place put her between 7-8 months in late May and tagged her as a Lab. The paperwork we were given at adoption says she is a Lab/Shepherd mix and gives an exact birth date, in September putting her at 10 months. In taking her in this past week for a limp and bringing her home after $89 of puppy Motrin basically for growing pains, this vet also said he puts her around 8 months-ish and both he and his tech said right off, "this dog has Beagle in her", and the vet said and I quote, "I see absolutely no Shepherd in this dog"....hmmmmm, so, what the heck is she and how old is she? Who knows? She points constantly, but we did read where Labs can and do in fact point, not only Pointers, so this could point back to the rescue place thinking she is part Lab. Her name is Avery and she has become a part of our family in the one week we've had her. She has her own little personality for sure.
July 4th we grilled and had a really good day with Michael over and we all went to the Sky Sox game but left because we needed to come let the baby out of her crate. :)
We're pretty sure everyone knows about the devastating and heartbreaking fire in the Springs. We won't go on and on about that. We are so happy to be from a community that is so willing to help each other in times of crisis and are so, so very thankful for the firefighters! God bless them! As of this weekend the fire was 98% contained!
We had a lazy weekend. It has been in the 60's and raining of and off. We don't have a lot of lazy times so it's been nice. Chicken & dumplins last night and beef stew tonight. MMMMmmmmmm.
And now folks I will leave you with this.....55 days til Auburn football! WDE. :)

Life lately according to, well, me...:)
Has been rather hectic and crazy. Enough so that I've decided boring and sane sound pretty darn good. After Kevin coming down with the flu and Jason catching it, they were both coughing for two solid weeks. I truly am not sure how I missed out on this lovely illness other than I had something very similar New Year's Day that lasted almost two weeks.
After going back to work and Jason getting back into school, we spent a weekend in Denver. Now let me assure you, my dear gentle readers, that we love Denver, we truly do. It's a fantastic city with everything you could possibly imagine to eat, see and or do. We opted to spend Saturday at the zoo. 87 degrees, sunny, and HOT. I managed to somehow NOT get sunscreen on my left shoulder and ended up with a nasty sunburn on it. YUCK. We had fun, it's a nice zoo and we plan to go back once they get their new elephant deal going later in the summer. We finally ate at Maggiono's and it was awesome! Best Italian food I've ever eaten. Hands down. Back at our hotel I started feeling cold from the sunburn and ended up falling asleep around 8:30. I know, I'm such a party animal.
Sunday we enjoyed the hotel breakfast and then headed to Coors Field. Sunday was not 87, sunny, and hot. Oh no. Sunday was a high of 57, cloudy, and cold. That's right. We had a good time though and the Braves won so of course we were glad we went. There were a ton of Braves fans there. A ton. Almost more of them than Rockies fans. We stopped at our usual Starbucks in Castle Pines on the way home and then arrived home around 7:00. Everything was fine. Went to bed at a normal time. And. Then. Then it happened. Around 10:30. I have not been that sick in a very, very long time. It was violent. Best word to describe it. Around 2:30 I got super, super thirsty and my wonderful husband who I'd already awaken from being sick, got me ice and water in separate cups. I gulped the water down and sucked on and chewed those ice cubes til they were gone! Then I had him get me more. All the while, still being violently ill. At 7:00 he called the doctor and the nurse said water is a bad idea. NOW she tells us. :) Gaterade she says. Kevin went up and got some and once I started sipping it I really did start to feel better. And then. Then he got sick. Exactly the same. Very violent. Turns out we had food poisoning from pizza from the ballpark. Jason didn't eat any, so he didn't get sick. We are jsut feeling normal today, a week after. It was brutal.
This past Saturday night we had date night. We had dinner at Colorado Mountain Brewery and it was excellent! Tried to see The Avengers but it was sold out. Piddled around Barnes & Noble instead and went to Starbucks.
Mother's Day Kevin made buttermilk chocolate chip pancakes for me. YUM. Michael made a throw pillow for me and his friend Kelly, made one for me, too. Kevin got me pink roses and a coffee mug and Jason gave me a card and a coffee mug. Chris, Michelle and Sable did facetime last night. We ate dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery and again, excellent food.
Today Jason and I finally got back to school and Kevin is at work, so hopefully everything will settle down from our illness.
For now, it's time to make dinner because Kevin will be home soon from work. :)

Life lately at our house.....
While it seems like forEVER since I blogged, it truly probably hasn't been THAT long. It seems that long.
We really enjoyed Chris, Michelle, and Sable being here on their way to HI. We were able to do a few things with all of the kids which was very nice. We had dinner at Hu Hot one night(YUM), saw a movie, went to It'Z, ate at Red Robin and also Poblanos.
We had Sable for a few weeks after the kids left in order for her to be able to go right to her new home when she arrived. We enjoyed having her. She is one funny, sweet, and smart puppy. :)
Michael spent Easter weekend with us and as it turned out, it was actually a wonderful weather weekend! No hiding eggs in the snow this year!
Then. Came. Flu. And man did it hit hard! Kevin started feeling bad on his birthday(not fun) and by Sunday we were sitting in the ER. He missed two days of work and probably should have stayed home a day or two longer, but well, if you know him, you know that just wasn't going to happen. By Thursday, Jason had it, but to a lesser degree. So he missed a few days of school. Both are feeling much better now and Kevin's cough is all but gone although Jason does still have some of his. Someone it decided not to take up residence in me. Thankfully.
This past weekend we ran errands and finally got to have Kevin's birthday lunch. :)
We are having quite odd weather out here with above normal temps for over a month. Everything is green and blooming and that hasn't happened since the spring of 2001. We even broke some records a day or two. I am loving it, personally. I love spring. Normally our spring is cold and we get the bulk of our heavy, wet snow. Not this year. We've had rain and thunderstorms and a tornado touch down near us that did some damage.
Weight Watchers is going great for still. I made the decision when I joined again for the 3rd time that I'm in it for life this time. I've lost 15 pounds in a little under 3 months. I still have 10 to go, but I know I'll get there. Jason and started walking each day and were really enjoying it and then the flu hit. Today we are hoping to get back into that. I am very glad as I hate the treadmill!!
Looking ahead, we have a few things planned coming up that we're excited about. Some Sky Sox games for sure, including July 4th. About a month ago we decided that with it being Chipper's final season, we really wanted to see a Braves game live this year. We knew going to Atlanta was out, so we found when they're coming to Coors Field. This weekend as it turns out and let me tell you it is a sold out event. All 3 games. I had to get whatever I could when I got tickets and almost gave up because there were only single seats/tickets available, and then all of a sudden there were 3 seats that opened up. Someone cancel or whatever, I don't know. I didn't care. I snagged them. :) So we'll be at Coors Field this Sunday watching Chipper and the Braves. Apparently, Peyton Manning was at yesterday's Rockies game.
For now, I will close up the blog and look at today's pointing for WW. Have a great week everyone!!

Ballgames, allergies and stuff....
I truly don't know how it got to be April 13th already. Wasn't it just March? The days and weeks go by so fast it seems. And we're actually having some pretty nice weather for CO in April, so I don't want time to go so fast. I want to enjoy spring.
Our week was filled with the usual work and school and such. Our tree pollen is super high and everyone is sneezing with scratchy throats. Ick.
Today of course is Kevin's birthday. :) He worked from home today partly due to his birthday and partly because Sable had an appointment with the vet. We had gotten tickets to tonight's home opener for the Sky Sox and decided to go after all. Not the best weather today. Of course, after such nice weather. Cold and windy. This is not prime baseball weather. No sir. It wasn't helping matters that the Sox were losing 9 to 0 in the 4th inning and the funnel cake fries line was an hour wait. The only real win of the evening was dinner from Chick Fil A. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating the birthday by going out to dinner at The Elephant Bar. :)
Next Saturday is when Sable will fly to be with her mommy and daddy. We are quite certain of two things, "first, she is NOT going to enjoy her day" and "two, she is going to be very happy to see her parents."
Kevin mentioned in passing, sort of, about possibly trying to do the "Bolder Boulder" or is "Boulder Bolder?" in May. We'll see. I've never been up to Boulder and it might be fun to walk in the race. You can do that, you don't have to run it. We'll see. We also found out that Reba will be performing at Frontier Days in Cheyenne this July. Love Reba. Loved her show and she is a pretty cool lady and we hear she puts on incredible concerts. Plus Jason might enjoy a real rodeo and seeing real cowboys. We also want to finally make it to Larkspur in June to the Rennisance Festival and that probably isn't spelled right. :) Jason wants to go camping.
I'm tired internet world and this will therefore end the babbling for tonight. :)

This is not prime baseball weather. No sir. It wasn't helping matters that the Sox were losing 9 to 0 in the 4th inning and the funnel cake fries line was an hour wait. The only real win of the evening was dinner from Chick Fil A. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating the birthday by going out to dinner at The Elephant Bar. :)
Next Saturday is when Sable will fly to be with her mommy and daddy. We are quite certain of two things, "first, she is NOT going to enjoy her day" and "two, she is going to be very happy to see her parents."
Kevin mentioned in passing, sort of, about possibly trying to do the "Bolder Boulder" or is "Boulder Bolder?" in May. We'll see. I've never been up to Boulder and it might be fun to walk in the race. You can do that, you don't have to run it. We'll see. We also found out that Reba will be performing at Frontier Days in Cheyenne this July. Love Reba. Loved her show and she is a pretty cool lady and we hear she puts on incredible concerts. Plus Jason might enjoy a real rodeo and seeing real cowboys. We also want to finally make it to Larkspur in June to the Rennisance Festival and that probably isn't spelled right. :) Jason wants to go camping.
I'm tired internet world and this will therefore end the babbling for tonight. :)
