A week's vacation!

I get to spend a week with my mommy and big sister, YEAH!!!! Little do they know I have a tooth that is trying to get out, I'll save that fun the end of the week :)

My school district gives us a week off for Thanksgiving. What great weather we had for the week, in the 50's and low 60's.



Jim has started finishing the basement, he says it will take 6 months-then LOTS of room for visitors! Check out his handy work.


I took the kiddos to the park down the street. It was Jake's first time in a BIG swing. Chelsea is really great with him.



We spent Thanksgiving with the Dessart family, I think we have had Thanksgiving dinner with them for the past 7 years.

I think I can hang in there for 3 more weeks-Christmas Break-YEAH!!!

We got a lotta catchin' up to do!

So sorry I have not been keeping up with the latest and the greatest. Lets see, I have included photos from Halloween, Chelsea was Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, Jake was an elephant. We had a party and invited the neighbors with little ones. Chelsea was really excited about trick or treating this year, luckily the weather was great! (Usually it's very cold, windy and often times raining)

Next up, I have been competing in some trail races in the parks around town, I am slowly getting my form back :)

Jim did some SERIOUS camping and mountain climbing this past weekend. He and some buddies drove down to Alamosa and camped at 12,000ft, after a 3 hour hike. They set up camp and then continued on to the top of Mt. Blanca which is at 14,000ft. WHEW!!!!

On a sad note, our good buddy Greta passed away. Jim and I got Greta just a couple of months after getting married, she lived 13 years-all action-packed. We will all miss her :(

Enjoy the photos.
