New Years and Christmas

This was another good Holiday season! We went to Nebraska to see my family like usual, and had a great time even though we both had to work the day after Christmas!
This year, we decided to get one big gift for the both of us, we got a new laptop...

On New Years, we went down to my cousin's house in Longmont and went to a house party from there... I have never played rock band before, and I really sucked at it!

'Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of the sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

"On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi"
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM

IT'S JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE!!!!

Disney World Trip

Disney World was SO much fun. I didn't know that being a kid again would be so great. We went there with my parents, glad we did because my dad of course had the whole thing planned out to a science. But that way we did get to see everything, and I mean everything!

Autumn 08

We went up Poudre Canyon seeking the fiery colored leaves. There were some that weren't changing yet, but we found a great spot with the most beautiful red and orange!

Although I am somewhat in denial that it's actually almost winter, the fall leaves make the transition a little easier...

the way it is

That is pretty much all I have to say about that

Rockies Game

This year we went to see the Rockies play the LA Dodgers... The Rockies didn't do so well, the Dodgers scored 7 runs in the first inning, but we still had a really fun time! It was a beautiful night and there was a colorful sunset, so even though the Rockies lost, we still enjoyed baseball food and yelling at the pitchers!

4th of July

For the 4th of July this year, we made a trip up to Cody, WY to visit my parents! It was a real good time, we went to the parade, craft fair, rodeo, and of course watched the fireworks. We of course couldn't go all the way up there without going to Yellowstone... But I will never complain, Yellowstone is just my kind of place :)

This is us trying to "swim" at the Firehole river... it was a little too cold for me, but the temp at the spot is actually about 75 degrees!

We also did a little hiking at Old Faithful, it was such a spectacular sight on top of that mountain!!

Poudre Canyon

We went up to Poudre Canyon this weekend to get out of the city for once! It was soo green and beautiful!

Matt and Apollo are always up to no good!
It looks like he is soo happy, cute!

I was really trying to keep the dog looking at the camera, but that didn't really work! He didn't know what was going on :)


It was a great trip, and not too far from home (thanks to $4.00/gallon gas) anyways... The water is soo high from a lot of spring run off, really good rafting season!

yellowstone trip

Of course we go to Yellowstone at least once a year, given that my parents live like 30 minutes away, it makes it very convenient :) So this was the trip this year, mostly the norm, buffalo, bears, wolves, moose, big horns, and elk... But seriously we had a lot of fun!

I was just saying how it would not be a Yellowstone trip if we didn't see a moose, and like 9 seconds later we saw 4 about 5 minutes before we were leaving the park :) It was great!

BBQ

So we actually had one nice day in April where we could tolerate being outside for a BBQ. Matt and I went to Longmont and celebrated my cousins birthday and had a couple drinks! It was fun, it's really nice to have family closer than 7 hours away :)

Me and my little cousin Meghan playing "washers" some kind of game from Texas that I have never heard of!
Meghan, me and my 1st cousin Michelle... It was seriously bright!

Me and Michelle trying really hard to get a shot with our eyes at least half way open...

All I can say is yay for party hats! I don't remember the last time I wore one of these!
