????????

I have no idea what they were talking about, but thanks to my zoom lens they never knew I was there. Notice C in the very bottom right. How about that "Farmer tan, farmer tan. Two tone biceps and an ivory chest"

Carousel

It's funny how something so simple can be so much fun. The boys loved this carousel ride. Of course it made the rides ten times more fun when they got to play for the brass ring. Tys actually got it once!

Colorado '07?

Cowboys!

Snapshot of Cole strapping on his spurs. It was a very dark room.

Tyson wanted to show his badge.

Friends?

You will always be my best friend...

You know too much!

OOPS!

For anyone that received an invitation to check out my blog and did so. I recently decided to change my blog to a private one so that way I can use names and photos. I was trying to set up everyone so they could see it whenever they wanted. I accidentally sent out an invite! Nothing real special to see (other than the abominable snowman out for a walk), but thanks for looking.

Winter Wonderland

I just love this photo of my husband on a morning walk we took not too long ago. It was soooooo cold that our river froze over completely. There were a few places where the ice had not taken over yet.

Christmas Tree!!!!

You won't believe this, but we just put our tree up this morning! I am one of those people that waits until Christmas Eve to get a tree and put it up. Well this year I decided to get one at least a couple of days before.
This year I wanted a table topper that was of the spruce variety (or something along those lines). It would have uniform branches that reached for the sky in a sort of uplifted arms fashion. I have seen a couple of photos here lately and fell in love with the idea. I had visions of going tree hunting in the woods or maybe a tree lot where they offered hot chocolate and a pot bellied stove outside for warmth. Then we would wind up with this really beautiful tree that fit the description of the one in my head. I thought that was going to work out until I ran across this Craigslist ad where a family had lost their job and he had just had surgery. They had two young boys and a ton of trees that they were just giving away to get them off their front lawn (which is totally buried in snow). In our town here, there were a lot of people trying to make a few extra "bucks" on trees so supply and demand was a little out of whack, leaving them with a ton of trees. Needless to say we bought one of the trees from him while standing in a snow laden housing complex with not a bit of the Christmas atmosphere I had hoped for. We did however receive the reward of knowing that we tried to do our tiny part in bringing cheer this Christmas! Hope you enjoy our Charlie Brown tree all dressed up for the holidays!

Table

I reall like this table. I would like to have a few these.

Mom and Baby

Well this photo op went better than the last one with this little guy. He was in such a better mood. I just love his look here. What a character!
