The dogs are loving spring

The strawberries live

Great flying weather

........................................................................................................................................................................................As you can see from the pics the yards a mess, I can never figure out where all the trash comes from when the snow melts. I know that the garbage wasn't there before it snowed and I know it didn't come with the snow (at least I hope not) so where does it come from?

Where off the the hockey game, last one of the season! woohooo we are so excited!

Is anybody still having trouble downloading pics to there blogs? would love to hear from you. I'm wondering if there's something I should be doing that I am not?

Mother Nature

Mother nature is such a tease this time of the year. Its been really nice long enough that I have stopped carrying my coat with me at all times, even this morning it was really nice out and by 1:00pm its was so nasty and cold out with 40 mile per hour winds, had a little rain, supposed to get some snow tonight through Thursday then hopefully back to forgetting my coat.

Spring is here (finally)

Its been a busy week, plus it has been so nice outside that its been hard for me to set down at the computer and add to my blog.

Last Sunday the guy next door decided to burn the ditch banks, which got a little scary at one point with 40 foot high flames, it got bad enough that all 3 fire trucks showed up and stood by just in case, I had all my windows open as it was so incredibly beautiful outside ( 71 degrees) and had to close them all to keep the house from filling up with smoke. He has a couple he didn't do that's probably his plan for this weekend.

Baby Opal has been sick with RSV. so far so good they have been able to treat her at home, and we are all keeping our fingers crossed that it continues that way.

We have water again!!!!!! no more hose water for us and no broken pipes thank goodness. took most of the day last Saturday but we are now reconnected and have normal water pressure, woo hoo. we were very glad other than I was hoping to get my pond dug but what the hell will figure something out I'm sure.

My strawberries are alive and coming up. I was really worried about them as this winter was such a hard one and I didn't mulch them or anything last fall so I wasn't sure they were going to survive. Now just waiting to see if any of my flowers have survived non seem to be coming up yet, but it is a little Early and really hasn't been that warm.

Got the camp trailer over to Sundance on Monday to have a few things fixed in anticipation of Easter weekend, were all going to the white river for the weekend (well hopefully the white river that's still kinda up in the air) or somewhere for the weekend. The first camping trip of the season and we are all very much looking forward to it.

We have tickets the the grizzlies game next Sat. The last one of the season and we are very sad to see the season end and will miss Jack and Shawna as with the new baby they are sitting this one out. Everybody else is looking forward to going. Kolby has really become a hockey fan and is more excited than any of the rest of us. Ash and Jason are unable to attend as they are in the middle of buying a new house and we will miss them also.

well that's about it from here, for now. I'm sure there's lots more and will remember it right after I post this. But will save it for the next post

Lexus is 4

Lexus opening presents
Braxton is the only boy at the party Baby Chelle and Lexus in her new Jeep and Lexus waiting for presents.



Lexus had a wonderful birthday party considering that her mother was up all night the night before with the baby and Lexus, Lexus was running a fever and coughing, and the baby had a belly ache. Lexus was so worried that she was going to be sick and that they would have to cancel her birthday, she cried and cried. but as you can see she's looking good and enjoyed herself.

Ice falls
still lots of snow

Catching up!

Been trying to catch up all week!
While I love traveling after coming home its crazy while your trying to catch up!
So Durango was great! loved the San Juan mountains the pass from Ouray to Silverton to Durango was incredible,
its called the million dollar highway and you can see why, its truly an amazing road. am looking forward to going back when the snow is gone (over the pass there was still almost 10 feet)
Durango is a nice mid size town with lots of history, the train runs from town up to silverton and back from may till October and has a 2 hour stop over in silverton, I want to go back when the train is running>
The double tree hotel was really nice with exceptional service, room service was good and they allow you to have pets,
Drove over too Pagosa Springs on Sat, I actually liked it better than Durango because it in the pine tree's were as Durango is more in the cedars, there's lots of cute shops ( I didn't do any shopping on this trip) but if your going and want to shop there is lots available.
anyways we had a really good and relaxing time I'd recommend it to anybody.



On Wed we finally got the court order against Kolby's stalker, which now will hopefully keep him from following her around and watching her as he can go to jail if he's caught doing it now.


Oh and I finished my boots on Thursday before we left for Durango, Started a baby blanket for Ash and am planning my Mural in our bedroom, Also It was lexus's birthday on Wed will do another post for that so that I can post pics from that
Have tons of pics from out trip but can't post them right now for some reason, will keep trying over the weekend so you may get some posts with only pics!

Greetings from the road!
