10/29/09 Halloween Blizzard

We woke up to 18" of snow on October 29th. While the winters are unbelievably mild you never know when you might get dumped on. Of course we were back on the golf course a few days later but it definitely opened our eyes to the crazy weather of Colorado.

Fall 2009 Snapshots

We love sneaking up to the mountains and are amazed at how different the weather is from Highlands Ranch. In early October we took a drive up I-70 in hopes of seeing our first snow of the year...and we weren't disappointed once we got over Berthoud Pass and hit the hot tub at Winter Park.



For Matt and Kaylee's 8th B-Day we had a bunch of friends over to our house for an old-fashioned party in the backyard. The kids had fun bobbing for apples, jumping in the bounce house, pinata and other games. Can't believe it's been 8 years already!


Goofin' around at the Denver Zoo.

In September, 2009 we traveled back to Iowa for the first time since moving. It was great to spend time with the Platts at their cabin in Lake Panorama. We had a blast boating and swimming.

The kids had fun seeing their old classmates at Weber...

and we had fun seeing some familiar faces at Bob's Your Uncle.

Gotta love football Saturday's in Iowa City.

Having fun in Grandma Judy's kitchen.

Highlands Ranch Days.

Matt loves to design and build things and says he wants to be an architect when he grows up.

We are regulars at Coors Field during the summer months.

As well as Elitch Gardens.
