Student Life Christmas Party

We had our first Student Life Christmas Party last weeked and it was great fun!

pumpkin time...

We had a little pumpkin time for thanksgiving! Lindsay, Lina (and her hubby) and I did some carving! We also had a halloween carnival and you can see the pic of me with one of my student's kids - they are SO cute! Bella and Lucy. So cute!

Mt. Evans

So this weekend we took a trip to Mt. Evans and experienced the strongest wind we had ever felt! Wind so strong that we had to lay down behind rocks to keep from being blown over! It was awesome! We were only out of the car for about 10 minutes, but in that time my toes had gone completely numb and started turning WHITE!

Sandra's engagement party! Isn't she lovely!

an evening at the zoo

We got free tickets to this thing called "Brew at the Zoo", and they had the carousal running! SO of course we needed to take a ride! It's a great event...made me want to be the person that got to coordinate events at the zoo!

birthday fun

Well, another birthday, another day into my thirties. It was a great day yesterday though! Andy pulled together a group of people and took me to a restaurant i love! Good day all around, thanks to the people who made it special!

the parking lot smash

My car was just sitting there...and it was attacked by three other cars...


This is the mustang that pretty much got the worst of it - hard to believe this happened in a parking lot. $2500 later...my car will be back to itself. =(

Meet the parents

So, the parents met this weekend, and here are some pictures! We had a lot of fun! These pictures were taken at the botanical gardens here in denver.

John and Genevieve were in town (sort of), so we got to see them! It was a great visit!



Our first trip to red rocks ampitheatre - we saw an outdoor movie! Fun!

hawaii 2007!

Kauai with my aunt and uncle 2007! We had a great time! The weather was amazing, and we had so much fun with my family! There were tons of sea turtles too!

PUPPIES!!

So, i spent the weekend with NINE yellow lab puppies (about 7 weeks old) and they were SO cute! The family got together for father's day - and to spend some time with the pups! It was so fun - because there are so many, they each have a different colored collar and that is their temporary name - unless they've been given a nickname of course. My favorite nickname is Tank - for the pup with the green collar - the reason for his name is pretty self-explanatory. But each of them is sooo precious, and after three days with them, I honestly could not pick a favorite. I want them all! =)
