What cute snow bunnies...


My Cousin Laura, Aunt Abby, and I decided to spend New Years in Breckenridge hitting the slopes. We skied for 2 days straight and spent the evenings shopping and eating out in the town. We had so much fun! Check out the cute snow bunnies!;)




Merry Christmas!!!

Well I know its late, but Merry Christmas!! I spent the holiday in Tulsa with my family while Ted was in Iraq. It was a busy trip full of shopping, friends and family. Here are some photos from the trip. Just click on the photo and it will take you to a website with lots of photos. Enjoy!

Turkey Day Race

On your mark...get set...GO! I told my friend Jenni, that it would be fun to run on the day before Thanksgiving at her mom's farm and do a kind of "race" for the two of us. Just a fun run. Well, her very creative mom and aunt made it into the Keller 5K race for Dyslexia! They took the idea and "ran with it" so to speak. Just check out the pictures!

Baking Time

Well, here are some pictures from the sleepover this weekend. Breanna, a friend of mine came to stay the night Saturday. Coley even got all decked out for the occasion in her green bandana and green and red bow. She is eating her Thanksgiving "Cookie" while we make ours! We made cookies, watched chick flicks and played Memory. Coley tried to help me win Memory (see the pictures), but Bre is too good! :)

Update On My Wonderful Husband


These first few pictures are just some really big vehicles. He could tell you all about these "cool" machines. I on the other hand have no clue. (Obviously, Ted is the vehicle mastermind in this relationship!)Post some info if you know something about them! :)

Hello Everyone, Ted said I have permission to post some pictures and update everyone on how he is doing. He is doing well. The biggest prayers would obviously be for his safety and quick return home. The days for him are very monotonous. He will eat the same foods on the same days (ie. Sunday night is always steak and lobster night). Internet is up and down, mostly down. When it is up it is slow. He is stationed at Forward Operating Base Normandy near Balad (spelling?). If you would like a specific address, please just email me or post a message and I will give that to you. He loves to get mail. He enjoys the people he works with and has gotten to see interesting wildlife and really cool vehicles (see pictures above). We get to talk on the phone for about 15-20 minutes every night (well morning for him, see clocks on the right).  I am very thankful to hear his voice almost daily. Thank you for your continued prayers and thoughts. I will try to post more on Ted and how he is doing.

Girls Night Out at the Melting Pot
WHAT A FEAST!

We made it to the top. The wind chill was 13 degrees! 
Boy this rock was heavy.
Stopping to take a picture with "the garden" in the background.
Garden of the Gods

Ted's mom is teaching a conference in Dever this week, so she came down to Colorado Springs this weekend. And what a beautiful weekend to come visit! The skies were so blue and bright and the temperature was perfect! We went to Garden of the Gods yesterday and then she treated me to The Melting Pot for dinner. This morning we drove up Pike's Peak and saw snow at the top. She had a wonderful time and can't wait to come back! Here are some pics from the trip. :)
