Went out to Hueco a couple weeks ago to settle some scores. We both sent our projects and then found a new one. =) We went with our good buddy Stu (who is an absolute riot and joy to hang out with) and had a wonderful time. The pictures are kind of grainy just bc we FORGOT our camera so Stu used his cell. Only 2 weeks until our annual Bishop, CA trip! We are really looking forward to it. Hope everyone is well! Love to all!
Bishop next! Woohoo!
Took the boys out trick or treating last night – It was fun…although there were some meltdowns and kind of put a damper on the night. Sigh…kids. They got a lot of candy and had a good time though and Henry is walking around this morning carrying around his bucket and “wollypops.” =) In a few days all that candy will “mysteriously” disappear so I don’t have to worry about their dentist appointments coming up. =) Hope everyone else had a good time – until next year!!
A couple months ago we decided to re-do the front area walkway by taking away the lame-o wannabe flagstone and laying down brick. The brick we got was so freaking cool – we found it at a used supply store downtown and the story was that it was used in a 100 year old building that had recently been torn down. The bricks aren’t uniform and are really big and fat so I wasn’t sure it was gonna turn out ok… but it looks absolutely awesome!!! I love it!!! ***We finished this project on Oct 11th*** (I am way behind…=)
Hey all, I made it back I one piece!! I had a wonderful time visiting Holly, Scott, their two evil dogs, and a couple of my climbing buddies. We survived the zombie race and while it was fun, it’s probably not something I’ll do again. We got accosted by the zombies – I was tackled, Emma was fondled and Crystal was thrown up against a wall. I was seriously ready to wrestle with a couple because they were so aggressive. We were able to make it through and “survive” though and got a medal for our efforts. It was cool hanging out with Holly’s girlfriends and we actually made another friend running through the race so all in all it was worth it. The weather was gorgeous my entire visit although I seriously froze my ass off the whole time. Yes, I am a wuss, but it’s difficult to get used to a humid 70’s climate coming from a desert where it’s 103 degrees. It was great for hikes, runs and climbing though and we did a lot of that. Surprisingly enough, my flights went off without a hitch although I did have a 15 hour travel day coming back that almost did me in. I missed my gremlins like CRAZY and have been smothering them with hugs and kisses since I picked them up on Tuesday. It’s nice to be back home and get back into my routine but my trip was a sad reminder of how far away all my loved ones are. Maybe one day we’ll be closer…but for now, a yearly trip will have to suffice. Love you B – thanks for putting up with me…and sorry again about your towels. =0 Haha. ***This was originally supposed to go up around 10/8***
Art of Horror Show – Holly submitted 5 of her photos to a gallery down in Burlington for the “Art of Horror” show and 3 of them were accepted. We attended the event the Saturday before I left and it was…fun. My brother in law is a major pain in the ass though and made my life miserable on the trip down. It was already freezing cold outside but he insisted on turning the AC on full blast mode. I almost died. Thanks, Scott. Jerky.
The rest of these pictures are of the beautiful scenery in Morrisville and Stowe. I can’t tell you how nice it was to run on a gorgeous trail covered in red, yellow and orange leaves. Such beautiful surroundings really change the way you think about doing ridiculous, uncomfortable, and horrible things like running.( Yes, Maria, I’m thinking of you, crazy girl) (And no I’m not talking to myself, there is another crazy Maria. Hahaha)
Henry brought home his kinder pictures today and we were comparing his class photo to Tommy’s when he was that age. It was so cool to see!! I don’t have a class picture for kindergarten but there is a picture of me somewhere around here when I was 5 or 6. I’ll find it and have Tommy scan it – until then, enjoy these adorable little kiddos!
