Helen Hunt Falls

This was a great little hike , Helen Hunt Falls, The snow was a bit slippery in parts... But it's still so nice to get out and enjoy these beautiful mountains.



Great view of the city too!

Finally pictures of the house!

More home pics!

Our First Home Improvement Project- The shelf

Richard And I worked hard on this all of last weekend and then finished the painting just yesterday. We really wanted to create more of a wall there between the kitchen and the stairway/hallway. Those are the two kids bedroom doors right there on the left and then on the right is the door to the Laundry room.






This was fun. We plan to do more projects in the future.

Tada!

We visited the Pro Rodeo hall of fame this weekend. Ethan and Ellie both really liked it. Ethan got to get in a real shute.

We visited Palmer Park last weekend. It is a great huge park in the middle of the city. Yes, this is the middle of the city!

Finally the weather warmed up enough to put the playground together. Ethan was very excited.

Ethan is a squirrel here.

Ellie and Ethan have discovered this secret hiding place.

Yummy Spaghetti.

Ethan wanted to give Ellie some brotherly love today.

Ellie's room is not quite done. I think I may do some sort of design or her name on the left wall. maybe flowers... Ethan's is still waiting for his curtains.

Ethan working hard with Daddy.

. Mommy and Ellie- Peek a boo!

Well, Today was our First MOPS group meeting (M0thers Of Pre-Schoolers) After a little bit of opposition from Ethan this morning we ventured out in the Cold weather to go be social.

Ellie did pretty well, After they switched her to a more age appropriate group (she was at first with 18 months olds). And Ethan, after shedding a few tears (me too), got better and ended up having fun. He just told me that he would like to go again (victory!)

I am so glad to finally have met some other women and the kids have met some other kids. We may be going to a play group next week at one of the other MOPs houses'. I think my tiny bit of cabin fever is subsiding.

Ellie was so happy at Ruby's Diner.. She got to have a biscuit and a pancake.
The Air Force Academy Chapel was pretty awesome. It started snowing on us ... right as we were leaving.
Ellie likes sitting with Ethan at the little table now.
Carolyn, Check out those pipes!
