Puzzles

Travis and I used to do puzzles all the time so we decided to do one over this Christmas break.
This puzzles was a really hard 1000 piece puzzle and it took us a week, but it was fun and we FINISHED!!!

What a beauty! Now we are never going to take it apart!

3 Wonderful Years!

Happy 3rd year Anniversary to us!! For our anniversary we drove up to Breckenridge and enjoyed the beauty of the mountains. Everyone else had the same idea I think, because there was a lot of traffic. But at least the drive was pretty (the picture below!)

We are at one of our favorite places called Downstairs At Eric's. It is just a casual place to hangout and watch any sport you want, as they play them all. They have the best pizza ever, and if you know us you know we are pizza people!

After eating we just walked around the cute little mountain town. It was beautiful up there.

The shops were fun and we really enjoyed our time in the mountains!

I just want to say that I am the happiest girl ever. I married such a wonderful man and our marriage has been a blast so far. We talked about all the fun things we have already done together and we can't help but get excited for a life time of more fun. I love Travis so much and I am very lucky to have him in my life. I can't believe that it had already been 3 years!!

Christmas Lights

Anna found this really cool house that had their lights programmed to the songs on a certain radio station, it was pretty much one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Sorry that it didn't turn out better, but get a load of this.

Ginger Bread Houses!

Travis and I have been trying to come with fun things to do together and this last week with the Christmas season and all we decided to make a ginger bread house. It was actually quite fun! We thought we would show off our master piece!

Merry Christmas

Brianna is showing off her new princess ballerina stuff she got from Santa! Kids make Christmas so exciting.
We were at my parents' house for Christmas as well as Thanksgiving. We were unable to get work off and handle the expenses of travelling to Montana. We missed the Hopkins' family, but we had a great Christmas non-the-less!

Audrey likes Papa's boots and wanted to wear them even though they covered her entire legs and she couldn't even walk, it was pretty entertaining.

We ate at August Moon, which has become a tradition we have done for about 4 years now! Audrey has made a favorite with Travis, which all kids seem to do!

We posted some of the pictures we sent out for Christmas this year. We don't have kids so we tried to take some fun ones so as not to bore you. Everyone always just wants to see the kids.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Thanksgiving

We are a little late with our posts because our camera broke, but we got a new one and I am catching up. We had a great Thanksgiving. The whole family came and we enjoyed eating lots of food and playing our usual card games we always play!

Next to Sarah is her fiance Daniel. I haven't blogged about it because I don't have the pictures of them. Any way, Sarah and Daniel get married in April (I don't know how they can wait so long) but they seem very happy and are excited about getting married.

We always get together and play games. Brianna is content just watching a movie, but Audrey likes to be as involved as possible! It is pretty entertaining to watch Brianna and Audrey always fighting over Mimi's (Grandma's) lap!

Straight or Curly?

I think my wife is always hot but today she fixed her hair curly and I want to get your opinion.

Straight?

Or Curly?

We Have Fun Sometimes!!

My Dad had free tickets to see the new 007 movie and he could not go so he let us have them and invite some friends. We got free tickets, free popcorn and then gave in and bought the $5 drink. But we got our money's worth from that drink! The movie was so good, it was non stop action, I definately recommend it.

On Saturday we went to the Airforce vs BYU game. We went with Leah and James and Anna and her friend Rachel. It was so fun to be there at the game. I had never been to a real football game, as high school games don't count. It was a tough game, but BYU won in the end.
At the beginning of Airforce games the jets fly over the stadium, this was the best picture I could get because they are so fast.


You can't tell, but Leah and I were so cold!

The best part is the kids' face behind us! Take a look!

Our Own Place

Cierra said that she wanted to see some pictures of our new place so here they are. About 2 weeks ago we moved out of my parents house and into our own apartment. We are in a tiny little place full of other peoples' furniture, but we have our own space!

Patio table from someone!

Behind the door is laundry! My first time ever not having to haul my laundry through the snow to the laundr-o-mat!

The chairs are given tp us from two different people, but it is fun to each have our "own" chair.

I love my job!!!

I love my job!

I am an infant teacher at a daycare here in denver. I will not say which daycare or the babies' names, as to protect the identity of these adorable children, but I will tell you a little bit about them.

Starting with the youngest, the little guy above is a chunker and so much fun. He will squeel and giggle and never wants to be put down, sometimes it gets hard lugging around this 20 pounder!
This little girl is 7 months old and is so ticklish and always happy and giggling. She is so easy going and tons of fun to play with!

This boy is 8 months and can almost crawl. He bounces all the time even when he is not in the bouncy swing he will be kicking his feet and want me to hold him up so he can bounce his legs!

This little fire cracker is 9 months old and can crawl and pull herself up anywhere. She is so curious about everything and very busy. When you get her laughing it is so much fun!

It was very difficult to get a picture of all four looking at the camera so this is what I got!

Who wouldn't want my job!!

Changing of the Leaves

This time of year the mountains are so beautiful because the leaves are all changing colors. We have gone hiking with Leah and James and their girls a couple times and we have gotten some great pictures that we would like to share!

Check out the leaves behind us.
Brianna is stylin' when she goes hiking!
Audrey just likes to throw rocks into the water.
Brianna and Travis were a crack up because they were in the back talking the whole time and they would "roar" back at the thunder!
I was pretty proud of this picture I got of the creek and the one below with the lone tree and the mountains.

Travis took these awesome shots with the trees and mountains and the light reflecting down on them. It is such a beautiful place and we so glad to be here this time of year.
We wish everyone could move to Colorado close to us.
