Holiday Trifecta

Well it is obvious we don't update our blog that often so we are grouping three holidays in one... so deal with it.
First up.... Halloween ooooooo And here we have our wonderful pumpkins that we carved. We also participated in our first Trunk or Treat where we displayed our pumpkins. Then we took them over to our friends and put them on their porch so people would see them since we don't get trick or treaters. (Megan's left and Kenny's right)
Next up... Sir Gobbalot. Doesn't he just look delicious. Thanksgiving was just the two of us which was great. That also meant a lot of leftovers just for us... ok mostly Kenny.

And finally, bum bum bum bum our Christmas tree. It has come such a long way from our first Christmas, we had one strand of lights and a couple of decorations, it would have made Charlie Brown cry a little. Thanks to after Christmas sales we now have a beautiful tree.


We wanted to get our tree up as soon as possible since we are heading out to Utah early. So, we thought hey lets do it on Thanksgiving day... yeaaah bad idea. After all the cooking and eating, it was pretty painful getting everything out and putting up the tree.


Maybe we will have another post in a week or two... or maybe not.

Summer Visitors Take Two

Ok Ok Ok it has been forever since we updated our blog, but here it is. I know you have all been waiting for it. First, Megan's parents and sister. Second, my parents came to visit our little place out here in Denver.

(Not a great picture.)
Doesn't this look like the most beautiful day? I mean look at that blue blue sky. Pictured above is called the Garden of the Gods. This is located just outside Colorado Springs. It is quite beautiful. I really enjoyed the almost perfectly shaped trees surrounding the rock formation. It looks like the trees are trimmed by an army of gardeners.

It was great little stop before we went up to the BYU/Air Force game. In fact, Colorado Springs is a nice little town as well.

Megan, always the perfect model.

The beautiful day made for excellent conditions to watch the game, even though we got a little sunburned and BYU lost. It is still a neat experience to see a game at the Air Force Academy.


Much of my parents visit was spent working on our china hutch. When, Megan and I got married my dad promised to make a china hutch for us as a wedding gift. He does wonderful work and we, of course, were very excited. One really old tree from Preston, ID, a new work shop, and 3 years later the master piece was finished.
It was worth the wait! This is going to last us forever.
