Is there really anything better than jumping and playing in a bunch of fall leaves? My parents have a ton of tall trees and so in the Fall they have a ton of leaves and so we spent Thursday evening jumping, playing, throwing, and just having fun in the leaves. We all had leaves everywhere…

Miller Farms 2019
So our cancelled field trip from a couple weeks ago with preschool to Miller Farms got rescheduled to this past Tuesday and it was a beautiful day. It started a little cool but that didn’t seem to slow anyone down. We got there and explored and played a little and then quickly hopped on a…
Anderson Farms 2019
Last Tuesday we met a couple friends from church for a great day at Anderson Farms. We couldn’t ask for a nicer day and the kids all had a great time. The kids jumped on a large bouncy area, went down slides, rode the mine carts, checked out the goats and chickens, picked pumpkins, played…
Long View 1/2 Marathon
I didn’t really plan on running a road 1/2 or full marathon again after I discovered trail marathons because trail marathons are far more beautiful and enjoyable and my slow times don’t really matter on trail marathons because really just getting up and down all the hills and somehow making it to the end of…
An Autumn Hike….
Since we have Thursday evenings free and open we decided to head up to Rocky Mountain National Park and go for a hike to see the leaves changing. We got there late enough in the afternoon that many people were headed out so we were able to park at the Bear Lake trailhead. We decided…

Horsetooth Rock Hike
On Sunday we decided to hike Horsetooth Rock. It is close to our church and it was going to be part of our family celebration for completing and paying off my med school loan. We packed our lunches to eat in the car on the way to the trail head and a change of clothes…
Paid In Full….
When I graduated Medical School in May of 2007 I had a HUGE student loan. I immediately started residency which meant I could essential delay paying on my student loan for another 4 years. I got paid during residency but it was pretty much enough to make our condo payment each month and keep us…
Edric-4 Years Home!
On September 23rd we celebrated Edric being home for 4 years. Actually we had a family dinner on the 22nd because no one had a practice or commitment that night. And I managed to not get any photos of his dinner. We had “crack noodles’ which I think is the actual name of the recipe…
Thursday Evening Hike
On another recent Thursday we packed up in the late afternoon and headed up the mountain to hike. We went to Ouzel Falls trail and while we didn’t make it all the way to the falls, the trail is full of other water falls and it was just a great evening to get out and…
