Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my nephew Jamie!  He is one today...boy, time flies!

Yum!

This is the pie I made this weekend: Caramel Pecan Apple Pie...very good!

We had this...for supper last night.  It is WAY better than back home, I didn't know Caesars could taste this good!

On another note...Christy, Art and Ethan are coming out here tomorrow!  Wahoo!  I am looking forward to some company.

I didn't know...

...that you can get a ticket for letting you car run to warm it up!

High Altitude

My finished product.  It's a little too short to tie it like I usually do, but it will definetly keep me warm snowboarding!

I made banana bread today.  It flopped :(  This is the second time I have made it since moving out here...it must have something to do with the high altitude.  It still tastes good, but it definetly doesn't look very nice.  I was planning on bringing it to church tomorrow.  I ended up making apple pie instead, its actually still in the oven and won't be done until 12:30.  It looks and smells REALLY good!

Finished!

I finished my scarf a couple of days ago:)  I actually ended up starting completly over about half way through to make it narrower.  Now that I am done, I am kinda thinking I should've made it even narrower!  It will be a really warm scarf for me to wear snowboarding.  I found another scarf online that I really want to make, it is so cute!

This weekend is the start of 3 weekends off in a row from work!

In 1 week we are getting company, I am sooo excited.  Christy & Art are coming out here and taking their cute, little Ethan with!  I think I am going to hold him all weekend:)

Anywho...I gotta run and get ready for work.  Hope everyone has a great day!

Gorgeous Day!

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful!  I went for a walk and was really wishing I had taken my camera with me.  The mountains were so clear, the sun was shining and it was 60 degrees!  I could really get used to this weather in January!  I even went grocery shopping by myself and didn't mind taking several trips up the stairs to haul it all up!

The view from our apartment, pictures do not do it justice

A couple nights ago I made Tostada Pizza for supper, it reminded me of Ambassador, Yum!  Next time I think I want to try with a thin and crispy crust.  Anyone have a good recipe?

I have the next two days off of work, I am hoping to actually get something done.  Here is my list, we will see how much I actually accomplish!

• laundry
• bake bread
• grocery shop (We have been short on groceries for quite awhile!)
• Go for a walk (It is supposed to be warm tomorrow, Michael tells me it was 65 today!)
• clean
• find something to put on the shelves we finally put up

Well, thats my list for now.  I am sure I will think of more!

New project

Last night I decided I was going to try knitting.  I decided to start with a scarf.  I went out and picked up some needles and yarn and went online and found some directions.

It took me several tries to get the first row on the needle.  After the first row was on, it was pretty easy.

I noticed after several rows, that I had one extra stitch...o' well.  It isn't noticeable so I'm not going to worry about it!  I also don't know how to get rid of it!  This is how far I've gotten:

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Back into the swing of things

I have been struggling to get back into the swing of things: this blog and getting back to a normal work schedule (if you can say that) ever since Christmas week!  I don't know if I will ever get used to my work schedule, blogging...we will see what happens!

I have this wknd off and me and michael were planning on going to A-Basin on Sunday...Michael found out he has a meeting at work on Sunday :(  So much for that plan!  I guess I should look on the bright side, I am still hurting from the tumble I took snowboarding over a week ago, it probably wouldn't be such a great idea to go again.  I have been thinking I should go to a chiropractor but I hate trying to find someone to go to...it scares me a little!  I have been asking around at work the past couple of days for reccomendations but everyone I ask avoids chiropractors.  Finally someone today suggested one...now to just call their and make an appt.  I am rather good at procrastinating these types of things.  I really should call...it hurts to bend over and pick up a gallon of milk off of the floor!

Aimee: here is the picture I promised of my Andes mint cookies!  I still have some left, and I seem to be the only one eating them...I just can't help it, so good!

I can now finally build puzzles!  Michaels parents got me a puzzle board for Christmas.  It takes up a lot of room in our little apartment but it fits perfectly under our couch when I'm not using it!

Hope everyone had a great day, I am wishing for some warm weather right about now!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010!

Michael's parents left this morning...feels kinda weird to have a quiet house again!  We definetly enjoyed our time with them...it was so much fun!  They got out here Christmas Eve, it was nice to have them here for Christmas...even though I had to work Christmas day.  We did a lot of shopping and visiting.  On Saturday we went to an Avalanche game, Sunday we took a drive up into the mountains and on Tuesday we went skiing/snowboarding at A-Basin.  I wish I would've taken more pictures while they were out here...too late now, O'well!  We took a group picture but I forgot to get it from C before they left!

At the Avs game, there was only 2 rows above us!  It was surprising how good you could still see.  You can't really tell from the pic...the players look like ants!

We both had the day off today and were originally planning on going up to Breckenridge.  We woke up this morning and decided it would feel good to sit around and relax for the first time in a couple of days.  I am also still sore from Tuesday, I wiped out pretty good and gave myself whiplash!
