This is "The Chapel on the Rock" {circa 1916} on the way to Estes Park, CO.

Everytime we pass it we are amazed at her beauty.

I just had to share this place with yall. The pictures of course do not do this place any justice!

Remember this place mom and dad?

Anna Kate just could not go anymore.

I thought she was following me up the stairs to go to her room and take a nap...

she did not even make to the second step.

The empire called: Facebook

I finally signed up on Facebook after telling myself I will never do so...

and now I can't stop! This is why I didn't but I was tired of wondering where is fill in the blanks? How is fill in the blanks?

HELP!

Oh well, the evil empire got a hold of my laptop. FB is now my friend, I 've crossed over.

Everyday homecoming

When Steven gets home from work rather it is on his bike or his car the girls 99% of time this is what it looks like {if not pre-occupied with fighting one another}:

the waiting...

DADDY'S arrival finally!!! Not mention mommy is also happy to see her help him!

Seriously everyday it is like this. When is the last time someone was this glad to see you with delighted laughter and cheers and jumping up and down {besides your dog}!

An Oxymoron: Colorado Boudin

I found this treasure {well, what I thought was "treasure"}.
Being somewhat of an optimist I thought we should try this boudin of the west.   

A local Colorado company trying the most southern food one could possibly try to make north of the Mason - Dixon line, what could go wrong?

ALOT!

It is awful spicy tough sausage with some flakes of rice in it. The casing one could eat! Doesn't everyone know if it is TRUE boudin one does NOT eat the casing because it is made from pig intestines.
Westerns please stick to the original recipe of the cajuns: if making the food turns your stomach it is probably delicious! Just like eating crawfish with the poop on top...yummy! :-)

Hackets and Market Basket we miss you!

Side note: The company is by Sara's Sausage. I should have known because I spell my name with a "h" Sarah. Don't trust things when your name is spelled incorrect, this is my new motto in life.

Summer Time Visitors!

We have had family and friends come visit us this summer..more to come too :-)

Having loved ones here helps with the homesick feeling big time!

Born on the 4th of July!

To a wonderful dad, husband, son, brother and friend,

Happy Birthday Steven!

Couldn't help but add this last one, Steven. I think it says it all! 

{Please note I was about 7 months pregnant for Madeline - little hormonal and probably hungry}
