Picnic

Holly and Lilly had a surprise for me last night for dinner. We all went to Bluff Lake Nature Center for a picnic. The sunset with downtown Denver in the foreground and the mountains in the background was one of the best I've seen.

The Children's Museum of Denver

Saturday I went to my sister Beth's yoga class. My downward-facing dogs are waaaay off. I'll never do them as well as Boo.

Sunday afternoon we went to The Children's Museum of Denver. It was a busy day with plenty of kiddos.

Travel Weekend / Stay-At-Home Weekend

This past weekend Holly and Lilly traveled to Iowa for Holly's grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. It was a great party and they both had fun. Unfortunately, Holly was sick through most of the weekend but after antibiotics is feeling better.

I stayed in Denver for the weekend. Saturday Boo and I cross country skied at Snow Mountain Ranch. I skied by myself for a while and then took Boo to the trail where dogs were allowed. We were both pooped afterwards. Saturday evening I enjoyed homemade pizza with Beth and watched Night Train win a gold.

Sunday I did some work around the house and watched an incredible hockey game. I love the Olympics.

Boo and I were happy to see the girls Sunday evening.

Snow Weekend

Denver and the mountains got some snow this weekend. Lilly and I went sledding on Saturday and then went downtown to REI and played around. Holly worked on building a shelving system in the basement to organize some of our stuff down there. Saturday evening Holly and I rode inside together. It was nice to ride with someone - I worked harder than my normal morning rides. Spring is coming. :)

Sunday I went skiing with Geoff and a couple other guys. It was a gorgeous day and the skiing was great. There are still a few bare spots but it was a lot better than the last time we skied. Holly and Lilly went to a movie and Lilly's yoga class. I got home in time to watch some of the Olympics as a family.

Holly's New Phone Number

Holly has a new phone. Her number is: 720-256-4919.

XC Skiing

Holly and I cross-country skied this weekend at Frisco Nordic Center. We met parents of a child in Lilly's class there and took turns skiing and playing with the kids (they have 3 children). It was a gorgeous day for a ski with temps just below 30 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

We left town early thinking there'd be traffic but made great time and were in Frisco in time to have a cup of coffee before skiing. Lilly and her friends had a great time skiing and sledding.

The Royal Family

Princess Lilly enjoyed a horse-drawn carriage ride in downtown Denver and a royal meal (at Steve's Snappin' Dogs) with King Geoff and Queen Bee.

Ski Day

Holly, Lilly and I got up to the mountains to ski this weekend. There hasn't been much snow lately and it really showed. Holly XC skiied the morning and joined me to ski later in the day. Lilly had a full day of ski school and did great. "Thank you for signing me up for ski school guys!"

Holly and I had a beer at the bottom and then picked up Lilly from school for a run as a family. What fun.


I hiked to South Bowl.

Christmas In Iowa

We're back from our Iowa Christmas tour. First Manchester for my grandma on my dad's side, then Waukee for my grandma on my mom's side. Then Sioux Center for Holly's family. We were able to avoid most of the storms and didn't have too bad of driving this year. Over the course of a week and a half we: ate plenty of food, went to church a couple times, opened plenty of presents, drank a few beers and some wine, had a great time with family, sledded, walked the family dogs, played volleyball, swam more than once, snowmobiled, played Guitar Hero, played dominos, cooked homemade pizza, cooked jambalaya, watched movies and spent 30+ hours in the car. It was a great time and very nice to see family again but also nice to be back home.
