2010-11-27T13:52:00.000-05:00

Mary and Patricia, our babies, turned 15 on Nov 4th!! I could scarcely believe it... But I'd better--Patricia is taller than me! See the rest of the pics HERE.

We love you so much, Patricia and Mary. Thanks for all the smiles and hugs you give me! xoxoxox

Beautiful....

2010-11-27T13:46:00.000-05:00

One morning several weeks ago the sky was just SO clear on the way to church, that we took some pictures in the car.... Colorado is gorgeous!

Can you ask for a better view than that? I must say, the sun rising and setting on the ocean is every bit as beautiful, but this is in my very backyard--what a blessing! Praise the Lord who has truly made all of creation cry out his majesty and glory.

Reformation Day Square Dance

~Living History Day~

2010-10-08T15:11:00.000-04:00

A couple weeks ago our homeschool group hiked in Lair O' the Bear. It was a ton of fun! Go HERE for all the pics.

As you'll see from the pics HERE, we also went to Red Rocks afterward (just some of us) Just to enjoy the view :) All in all, a jolly day and the weather was GORGEOUS!!

Graze, Praise, and Gaze!

2010-10-07T11:05:00.000-04:00

The Cheney family were kind enough to host a "Praise, Gaze, and Graze" at their house--basically a stargazing party! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather.... Thanks so much Cheneys! Enjoy ALL the pictures I took HERE.

They had a big telescope AND a little for the children :) All in all a most memorable time, even if I didn't get half of what Mr Chapa said about stars, and could find even less of the constellations in the sky! It was still a great testimony to the awesomeness of the God we serve... Go HERE for all the pics.

A WONDERful Camping Trip :)

2010-10-05T14:46:00.000-04:00

About three weeks ago we went camping in Poudre Canyon, CO for a couple days with our dear friends the Schwisows! What a wonderful blessing it was to get away from technology and every day stress for a while, and just enjoy God's creation and the fresh air away from the city... I think my heart lies in the countryside. :) Go HERE for the rest of the pics. To warn you, there are a lot!! BEAUTIFUL scenery...

Wading!! We camped RIGHT NEXT to a gorgous river.

A prime seat to view God's creation... Wow what a time. HERE are the rest of the pics...

Girl Time at the Lake...

2010-10-05T13:19:00.000-04:00

The Sunday before last (June 27th) we totally surprised my dad after church with a surprise BD party in our back yard! Complete with badminton, marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire, rain, hail (no joke), and lots of laughter. Thanks Dad, for turning 50! Go HERE to see pics.

Climbing Mount Bierstadt

2010-07-07T23:55:00.002-04:00

A couple weeks ago we made a journey into (what seemed like) the heart of the Rockies and actually climbed one of them! I am not even joking---when we got to the top, we were as high as all the other mountains I could see! Pretty neat feeling. Do it sometime :) Click this link and you'll see some amazing pics...

Change :( And the CHEC Conference

2010-07-07T23:43:00.002-04:00

Hello all my blog readers. Unfortunately, it takes way too much time to upload photos into blogger this way. SO, for photos, I will begin to paste a link here which you can click on to see photos on Picasa. Don't worry: no signing in, no signing up for anything. All you need to do is click on the links I post :) Give it a try.

For starters, here's some pics from the CHEC Conference we attended back in June. It's the annual homeschool conference our state hosts. Enjoy!

My Florida Getaway... (Katie is BACK)

2010-06-29T20:41:00.000-04:00

I am back from the sunshine state!! Safe and sound, even after flying thousands of miles :) It's good to be home...

So, let's get started on all the pics! First, my flight from Denver to Orlando.

Pretty enough for wallpaper right there...
Southwest--they are probably the best airline because they're one of the few who doesn't charge for checking bags--you get two free!
The big old engines. Is it just me, or is it WEIRD that planes can fly!!
Florida :)

My dear dear friends the Stone ladies invited me to Disney with them one day and we went to the Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella's castle from afar... (I took the ferry across the lake).
More views from the ferry. (the next few pics are courtesy of Anna Stone's lovely and expensive camera *wink*)
So I wait for the Stones to arrive and...
Anna totally surprised me! And no, I didn't faint or anything :)
I just hugged. We are childhood friends dating back to when we were both nine or ten! We are a month apart :)
Happiness :)
My first of many roller coasters that day. Anna enthusiastically puts her hands up. I never did get to that point...
Beautiful, even when riding a coaster!
Emily (Anna's younger sister) and I got the very back. This ride was called Thunder Mountain.

Anna is a professional photographer and made this pleasant montage for me :)

During my stay, my grandparents and I drove the nine hours to Charlotte, NC to visit my Grandpa's sister and her husband, Aunt Margo and Uncle Roger!
The four of us had a rollicking time playing Bluff. Gramps was a party pooper.
My second and third cousins came to visit :)
Grandma enjoying her newspaper in my aunt's lovely living room.
My very own bedroom! Sorry, I just like bedrooms :)
Uncle Roger was quite the chef/cook! Strawberry!!!!
Working away in his awesome kitchen...
Their dog, Gracie, was so cute!
YUMMO!
The road trip was so much fun....
No car ride with Grandpa is ever complete without a bit of Dunkin' Donuts. :)
Misty...

The next few shots are of some 36 hours Anna and I spent together just hanging and enjoying our fellowship...
BB, their adorable little doggy.
The first day we went to the beach. Didn't get many pictures there because we were too busy gabbing! :)
The next day we went to a quaint little city nearby called Winter Park and spent the day shopping around! Here we are, fresh-faced and ready for a new day :)
Several of these pics are courtesy of Anna's lovely camera. She liked to take artsy pics.

Anna insisted we visit the Pottery Barn, a shop I truthfully would never have even glanced twice at, but I am so glad she made me go in! It was delightful inside. Wait and see...
Inside we found a likely mirror and took some shots!

I had to take a call so Anna passed the time by taking some pictures of items in the store.
Art.
After Pottery Barn we somehow started trying on clothing in a store where the for sale rack featured clothing for $60 and up! Needless to say, neither of us bought anything. But it was still a blast.
Niiiice.

A sweet park we found in the midst of the town.
A bit of silliness. Nope, I guess we're not "all grown up" yet--even at 21!!

We both adored the Robin Hood movie that came out :) But I must say it was Anna's idea to take this picture! Promise!!!!
Another time we went to visit my Grandmother and Uncle in Tampa. She had a darling cat who did all sorts of neat tricks for us. He liked Gramps :)
My dear grandmother and I.
Uncle Chris!!
He loves his cat, Bullet.

Smiles all 'round...

My cousins the Enright Jrs had us over for Memorial Day! Here Caleb and Grandma share a moment :)
Cousin Cora and her sweet friend Ali.
Caleb and friend Jake.
Kole loves me just to PIECES!! Can't you tell? That kid is the funniest EVER!
Somehow I got involved in a ping pong match.
The cutest ref I've ever seen!
Kole creamed me, needless to say.
But hey, I had fun still!
STRIIIIKE 3!! Yes, I know that's not a baseball bat. Give me a break.
Uncle Michael and Grandma, puzzling out the world's problems :)
Grandma and I met her dear friend, Mrs Rhoden at Denny's one morning for a brunch. Can't go wrong with orange juice. :)
I love them!! I so enjoyed talking to these two godly ladies who gave me so much encouragement. *heart*
*smile*
While I was there, my 14 year old cousin, Cora, graduated from middle school. After the graduation, we all went out to Chili's for dinner! Here we are, awaiting our dinner.
My ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Grandma! I am so blessed to have her...
Kole and Caleb, being boys, soon began to wrestle after we'd waited a while...
Is Caleb a mad fighter, or is Kole a kind older bro who lets him win...? Who can tell? :)
The cutie *hugs*** I miss you Caleb!
The grad with Grandpa and Grandma.
*love you Cora**
In Chili's we made Cora wear a special grad hat. She LOVED it *not* :)
Grandma really did love it :)

A little big for you, buddy!
Works well as a mask though!
One day Cora, Grandma, Grandpa, and I went to Epcot for the day. For those of you who don't know, Epcot has many educational amusements/rides, one of which was a gardening sort of ride. Hey, I enjoyed looking at the amazing plants OTHER PEOPLE had gardened, and all the new technology for gardening is pretty amazing--although it still isn't tempting me to garden myself :)

In France, we tried on hats (for those of you who still don't know, Epcot has many different countries).
In the United States, while we were waiting for the tour to begin, some lovely singers raised the rafters with some good old patriotic tunes!
The epic Epcot ball :)
Check this out. Can you believe some people actually WORSHIP that? So sad... But he does look humorous!!
One of my personal favorites in Epcot--the sodas from all around the world! Israel tasted the best.
BEACH!! Two days before I flew back to Denver, Grandma and I made a day of it at the beach. What a precious time I had with my dear Grandma... Getting rained on and running up to the pavilion with all our stuff (a couple times!). We got our work out that day :) But it was so much fun.
This is me, attempting to get a tan *cough* :)
Finally on my merry way home to Denver! These are the MOUNTAINS which I did sorely miss...

Well that's it, folks! I certainly had a splendid time in Florida... My relatives are so dear to me, and I am so blessed to have them all be sisters and brothers in Christ!

Have a wonderful week.

Golden The Town

2010-06-25T19:55:00.012-04:00

I have come to the conclusion that tons of descriptions under each pictures make the post really boring, so there will not be many(: Enjoy!

Alright. Needless to say we all had a fantabulous time in Golden with our Grandparents whom we LOVE. Toodles.

2010-06-02T15:54:00.017-04:00

Apple Juice in a Jar is very special.

Happy Mother's Day!!

2010-05-10T13:32:00.004-04:00

Mrs Schwisow had the kindness to invite several ladies and their daughters to tea with her in celebration of Mother's Day! We celebrated alright, with multiple cakes, muffins, and quiche! Thanks Mrs Schwisow for such a loverly time :) We also brought photo albums and looked at old pictures, which was very pleasant as well. All in all a superb time was had by everyone!

The ladies table (or should I say, the MOM'S table).
Solving the problems of the world :)
Patricia helping her lovely self to some zucchini bread.
Our little table. Josh had the distinct honor of joining the LADIES' tea :) It's not every guy who gets to have the ultimately yummy food put on at ladies' teas! I am sure Robert was very jealous indeed :)
Flowers!
Mercy's lovely knitting.
Laughter--lots of it :)
And more of it!
And more smiles...
Now we get down to the nitty gritty of theology. Yes, that is what we eventually ended up talking about! I must say though, I never enjoyed tea conversation so much :) We should start a new trend: Theology Teas. *laugh*
M or P's art.
Josh saying something undoubtedly important :)

Thanks Schwisows for such a wonderful time!

OK, this is REALLY the last post I will do before leaving for FL :) I am leaving tomorrow! Patricia might do some posting while I'm gone-if you beg *wink*

Blessings.
