Last Friday found us in the cold picking out our Christmas Tree. We have been going to the same place for the past few years and we returned again this year. It is a family owned business that cuts and clears areas in Colorado and then uses the trees for Christmas Trees. The trees are…

Lots of snow
We got a lot of snow last week. To the tune of 18-20 inches. And it was super cold….and really it hasn’t warmed up all that much. The snow has been beautiful though. The kids have played in it quite a bit and on Wednesday my Dad brought the 4-wheeler over with some sleds. They…
Thanksgiving 2019….
As I sit in a fairly quiet ER this early Thanksgiving morning with my patients currently tucked in and I have a few minutes of quiet I have a chance to reflect on being thankful. I know I will gather this evening after hopefully a few hours of sleep with my family, my parents and…
Making Christmas…
I know we are still a few days before Thanksgiving and I’m typically not one to do Christmas things before Thanksgiving because I really enjoy just taking a month to reflect and be thankful. That being said I was looking ahead to December and given my work schedule, eye surgery, Nutcracker, and the day in…
Thankfullness
This month as we reflect on the year and our lives we are doing a thankfulness bucket at our house. In reality its a thankfulness popcorn bowl but it works. At least once a day usually during lunch or dinner we go around the table and ask everyone one thing that they are thankful for….
Snow White and the 6 Dwarfs….

A couple of weekends ago we finally got to meet up with my brother and go hiking. He lives just south of Denver so we headed that way and met up at Castlewood Canyon State Park which I didn’t even know existed. It is a canyon just south of Denver and it was gorgeous. We…
Fall Leaves….
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…
