Visitor...

AJ and I were about 4 miles from our

home...visiting our friends,

(it was a community garage sale weekend)

and this guy was sitting in the grass at the neighborhood

park.

HOLY MOLY...

he was HUGE!!

Concert night...

Months ago Justin surprised me with

tkts to

Jake Owen and Keith Urban

concert.

 We had a great

time and it was an amazing show.

Our 1st snowfall.....

Seems kind of early for snow but that's

Colorado for ya.

It sure looks pretty!!

Wow!!

This morning the kids were headed out to catch the school

bus and noticed this on our house. This butterfly was HUGE

and so pretty!!!

Not too shabby...

Not a easy find but for a Margarita Mix it's pretty yum!!!

Finally found....

So it's always said, you find things when you least

expect it. Very true!!! Today I go into the

Dollar Store(oh and not a fav of mine) and I see

Snapple and it's

Bret Michaels

Diet

Trop-A-Rocka

Diet cause he's Type 1 just like me so I was

excited to give it a try finally. Not bad!!

A few weeks ago my best friend came up to CO

to visit me... her and I are both HUGE B. Michaels fans.

As we recover from a day up in the mountains skiing she gets

a text pic from her husband and it says "check this out"?

We didnt know if this was a joke or not....it wasnt.

If we had only been at the

Barrett Jackson!!!

(Bret and Clever)

Flowers...

Gosh, I just love fresh flowers!!!

Bean bags.....

YAY!!!

I was so excited today when I received

4 new bean bags in the mail from my Grammy.

They keep you warm....and with my achy joints

I just cant be without them.

I'm so thankful!

Finally completed...

So my sister-in-law had posted a picture on her

blog of a countdown calendar similar to this. I thought it was

ADORABLE and said, "I think I will try to make one"!!

Well, it wasnt easy and took a lot of time. I made two and

that was enough.

Thank you

Dawn!!

It has arrived.....

the Winter Season!!

Yum..Yum!!!

Thanks Dawn!!!

We all(well maybe Hayden not so much...he just isnt into the good stuff) loved this new popcorn treat and

the peanut butter makes it!!!

Osborn Farm??

Yesterday we spent the day in Loveland, CO

and we came across this farm.

Well you dont always see the spelling

just like ours...so we thought this was

pretty neat. This farm had lots of corn fields and also

some really neat barns.

Helping out....

AJ's teachers asked me to help

fill the kids

"Friday Folders"

Lots of work from the week and

a

Report Card

(Wow...2nd trimester is already over)

A Golden Sneaker...

Well not really but that is what JDRF calls this award.

I was surprised today to get this but also very thankful.

I wouldnt have been given this without the help of everyone.

I'm very THANKFUL!!!

A must HAVE.....

TODAY!!!!

(thank goodness for these...they really keep my/our hands warm)

I just had to......

Post a few photos of what we witnessed at the race this weekend. It was UNBELIEVABLE and we were SHOCKED but had to laugh when I saw this heading our way. Oh yes, just a seat away from mine.

What outfits!!!!

This is.....

just

CRAZY!!
