Mac is...well, Mac!

Well we have often said that Mac walks to the beat of his own drum. I can say that has not changed one bit! When it snowed a little bit a few weeks ago he got excited when he asked if school could be closed. Poor guy thought he was still in Georgia and a "not even a dusting" shuts down the city. Sorry honey, not in Colorado! Today there was a little more snow in the backyard and he could not resist the opportunity to make a snowman.

Isn't it cute?!

Mac got really excited about his snowman! As you can see there really was not a lot to work with, but he made do.

Carrot nose and all!

If you look closely in the background you can see Xander. He loves to be outside playing in the snow, even making it turn yellow!

Our Trip to Las Vegas

You could say that 4 days was too short and too long all at the same time. We had a great time though, just what we needed! It seemed like we would never leave. Kids were both sick leading up to our departure. Work was hectic. I was just glad when we boarded the plane and left town.



Thursday we went to Blondie's to watch CU play West Virginia.

Steve got comfy in the big booth...

Chili and Frijoles Festival

This weekend was the Chili and Frijoles Festival in Pueblo. After the snow and cold weather we had at the start of the week, we were very pleased to have some gorgeous weather today!

Steve could not pass up the chance to try on the mascot head for one of the radio stations.

Too funny!

Fall Colors

So this weekend we went for a drive to see the colorful leaves. I missed seeing the fall colors!

Pikes Peak ... look it already has snow on it!

Another shot of Pikes Peak --
This is how real mountains should look!

We stopped along the highway to get a few shots.

Lots of yellow leaves mixed in with the green but no red yet.

OK .. for so long everyone wondered where I was, since I was never in the pictures. For so long I was the only one taking them. Steve has become a part of the picture-taking process so here I am!

Mike's Paparazzi Moment!

Another shot over the mountain side

I have no idea!

We pulled off the side of the road so Steve and Sandy could check out the water well.

Very exciting stuff!

Another mountain view... Sorry I never get tired of seeing the mountains!

More snow!
