St. Patty's Day Girl Adventure

For those of you who have NOT had the chance to join us yet for one of our monthly girl get togethers, here are some pictures, compliments of Laura London, from our last one this past St. Patty's day! Kelley hosted a rockin' time...margharita's, artichoke dip and Last Pitch were just a few of the many highlights from this girl time! Hope you can join us for the next one... which I believe is being hosted by the lovely Kathy Nixon in April! Cheers!

Hiking Adventure

We went up the street to Rock Park, here in Castle Rock this past weekend. We decided to hike up to the top and see what Castle Rock really looked like from above. Wow what great views! We found some columbine flowers and had great weather. Hopefully this will be the begining of many more hiking adventures to come!

Growing Adventure

We received our first orchid plant last year as a gift from our friends Oliver and Isabel. We weren't sure if we could get it to bloom a second time, but we tried our hardest (or maybe not our hardest?) and to our great surprise it has bloomed again! Here is the first bud of the 6. It has been so cool to watch it sprout and bloom. I would highly recommend it.

Valentine's Day is approaching!

For those of you who are trying to figure out the best thing to give your significant other for Valentines Day I have some great ideas I can help you out with! I have some really fun stuff that women will love from Mary Kay that is little hassle for you and little cost! If you need any help shoot me a note and I'll help make this Valentines Day a Day to remember!

The X Games

So the X Games were tons of fun! The drive into Aspen you see Buttermilk Mountain where all the X Game stuff is set up. Totally awesome! Everyone there was dressed to party! Snowboards, ski's and lots of fun food and vendors galore! Oakley had a tent and we got to try the new shades coming out this spring. All I'm gonna say is they are really cool. We got to the X Games just in time to see Shaun White do his last run on the snowboard competition for Day 1. That's him in the snow picture, wiping out. David snagged a free bandanna... imagine that... from Edge. Mountain Dew was flowing like the fish of Capistrano and free chap stick everywhere you went. We saw a guy with the biggest, blondest Mohawk ever. Kinda freaky but he may have been a little on the drugged out side. Who knows. Next year, we're volunteering to help out!

Aspen

We decided to be somewhat spontaneous and head up to Aspen for the weekend. There was a motive with it... to see the X Games. Our journey up to Aspen was uneventful. It was the hotel we got in Eagle that caught our attention. Nice for the price and very homey. Definately worth considering again. Our trip into Aspen (Eagle is about 1 1/2 hours away from Aspen) was beautiful. We went through Glenwood Springs which we may venture to tomorrow as well to hit the Hot Springs outdoor pool! We saw tons of great shopping in Aspen.... they even have Lush there! This great soap store mom took us to when we were in London. Every kind of soap and bath ball you could ever imagine. Not only did we get some soap...we got some FREE soap! That's the best. They were handing out tons of free stuff all over Aspen due to the games in town this weekend. All in all... Aspen was worth the drive.

Blizzard # 2

As I am sure most of you are quite aware, Denver was hit again this week by a blizzard! That makes 2 in 1 week. Goodness. Luckily Brooke made it out of Denver last Friday for her trip back to Wichita. We both made it back safe and sound this past Tuesday. Only to find out we'd get to spend lots of time together trapped inside! At least this time I wasn't all alone, with the cats.
We hope the snow finds it's way to your doorstep soon! Make sure you have a shovel handy.
