Aruba!

Vacationing with the Parker's never gets old...I was lucky enough to get invited to Aruba at the beginning of this month to celebrate a family wedding!
Italian dinner out...complimentary lemon cello shots to cap it off!
Birds that lived at our resort
Sarah getting lucky
Our day consisted of beach, water, beach water...AHHHH
I loved walking the beach and watching the kite surfers showoff.
Me jumping off the pirate ship! ARGG
Sarah and I spent an afternoon aboard this pirate ship! The cruise included snorkeling, rope swing and cocktails! We snorkeled, over a reef and a WWII ship wreck. We also meet a couple of new friends.
A couple of us from the ship went out for some drinks and slot machines afterwards...because that what you do in Aruba.
How could you turn this cheery thing down?
The wedding was amazing! A boat drove into the lobby of the resort picked up all the guest and drove us out to a private island.
As you can see the tans were coming along nicely.
The amazing view even included flamingos!
The groomsmen looked stunning in there seersucker suits.

And the gals look beautiful in their flowing blue dresses!

There was a running joke that I was Sarah's brother replacement...here we are hanging with the cousins.

Matt and Megan's first dance.
This week in Aruba sure made a destination wedding look good!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

My garden is in! It finally warmed up, and stopped randomly snowing around here so I could plant my garden. It is so nice to have my very only little plot in the back yard. I am trying some new veggies this summer, we'll see how it goes.



I went out to water things the other day and found this cute little guy hanging out. Amy from Winter Park got it for me as an early B-day gift, in memory of Milo! He is cute and, doesn't eat my lettuce!



Below is the planter/grow box that Rick (Dustin's Dad) built for me. It is full of flavorful spices like oregano, rosemary, chives, basil...and some baby carrots.

Fun With Chelsea

A road trip to Bishops castle, with D and his parents.

A weekend out on the Henrys' Ranch, 4 wheel'n and shoot'n some guns!




Chels was the only one to hit the bullseye!











The week went by way to fast! I think we convinced her to come back in August though.

Itching for a project...

Ok I'll admit it, I can't live without a project. Feeling the spring weather coming on I was feeling the need to get out side and sand/stain something. So....I found a free table on craigslist. I happened to be located up near Estes Park. So I decided to drag D along and make a road trip out of it!

He I am midway through the sanding process!

It was snowy and windy up @ Estes but it felt good to get out of the city.

We happened to stop in this glass shop just as this guy was blowing out a new piece. What a neat process!
