Doin' Work

It seems like we’ve been hibernating for the winter, we haven’t been up to much lately. However last weekend we spent a day working on a house for a woman who recently had a stroke. As you can see the house was not in very good shape, Jess and I patched the bottom concrete step, helped to scrape old paint off of the front porch, repaint the porch and laid floor in the kitchen. It was a long day, but we had a great time, now we just need a house of our own to work on.

Up in the Rockies

A few weeks ago I found out that I would be starting a new job a week later.  So, I decided to take a quick vacation with my last week of freedom.  My friend Greg and his wife justed moved to Vail, CO, so i went to visit them for the week.  I had never been out there and it was absolutely amazing!  We skiied a couple days, hiked, and cross country skiied straig up a hill in Leadville, the highest city in the US.  It was hard to come home....

Dusty Mexican Borderland

I was lucky enough to spend nearly two and a half weeks out in Arizona over the holidays.  I spent the first week with Jess and my cousins doing all sorts of fun stuff.  We hiked in the Grand Canyon and Sedona.  We went skydiving and went to a few parties as well.  I took a ton of picutres, here are a few of my favorites.

The second week I spent mostly on my bike.  A little less eventfull but the weather was beautiful...

Architectural Artifacts

Last weekend we went to a wedding, the reception was at this place called Architectural Artifacts.  It's an old industrial building that is now being used as a huge Antique store.  The top 3 floors contain 'Artifacts' from old buildings from around the city.  The only way to explain is to show the pictures.  There were some very cool things there...

State Champs!

We snuck into town last weekend for a Soccer game, my cousin Bryan was playing in the State Finals for the sedond year in a row.  We missed the game last year but we weren't going to miss it again this year.  They won the game 7-0.

Derek & Addison Joined us, then came over after the game to play..

Happy Thanksgiving

Jess & I celebrated Thanksgiving with her family on Thursday. Jess made her corn casserole and I brought a very popular Tofurkey (maybe that's wishfull thinking).  Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Happy Halloween

Fall is officially here and I caught these fun pictures the other night right before sunset.

Jess' sister has an annual Halloween Party at her place that we attended last weekend.  Jess and Erin dressed as clowns, Kevin was Teen Wolf and I was Michael Sloan (Jess' Dad).

Do you see the resemblance?

Jess made these...

Unfortunately I was getting over a cold and I didn't quite get throught the entire nite...
