Everyone is a winner with a trophy!

Fall soccer has come to an end. Kaylynn had a great time this year with a great coach and team. They are going to try to keep them all together for spring soccer so that should be fun! Here are some end of the season soccer pictures (then, I promise, no more - for a few months anyway!).


During Halloween week Kaylynn also had "crazy" day at school so she picked to wear lots of stripes and have lots of ponytails in her hair. That hairstyle was the theme for most of the girls in the class!


Finally, last weekend we headed down to Colorado Springs to watch the UND hockey team play CC. It was a great time (even though the Sioux lost on Saturday when we were there). Kaylynn had a great time using the megaphone to yell "Go Sioux". The next day we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo which was really neat. Check out The Honeymoon Baby blog for a few pictures from the zoo, including the highlight of feeding the giraffes!

Did you know Halloween is a season, not a day?

Who doesn't love to squish pumpkin slime through their fingers...Cory and Kaylynn, that's who! I did most of the gutting, but Kaylynn did try so it was an improvement over last year! Here are some pictures of the carving fun.







We have had quite a few Halloween activities already. Kaylynn walked in the Trick-or-Treat parade down Main Street on Saturday. We also went to a party at her soccer coaches house on Saturday night and to "Boo at the Zoo" on Sunday. She got to wear her costume (guess what she is?!!) to all of those and has tons of candy already. Her are some pictures of the Halloween "season" so far...

Our princess:

Mommy was an angel, don't you think it is fitting?!


Boo at the Zoo with Nate:

This picture is for Grandma (the baby giraffe was born in August).






Kaylynn loved this baby monkey.


And Nate loved the train!!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!!

The big 3-0 requires a big celebration and that is just what we did! Cory and I cruised off to the Bahama's with my friend Steph and her husband, Tom. We had a wonderful time!

Preparing for any stray icebergs in the Caribbean!

Vacation, the only time Cory drinks something with an umbrella in it (or so he would like you to think)!!


Our boat: "Carnival Sensation"



In Freeport, watching more rain come our way!!


In Nassau:


Oprah's house on Paradise Island (that she has never been to - can I use it?!).


The required stop at Hard Rock.

Reminiscing our college spring break days at Senior Frogs...

The sun always has to set on a good time...


Thanks for helping me feel young again!

Princess playdate

Last weekend we finally had a chance to get Kaylynn and Lucy together to play. We met up at Osborn Farm in Loveland and had a great time. Since I forgot our camera, you can see some images here (Thanks, Jenna!).

After that, Lucy came back to our house and the girls magically turned into Princesses! They looked so cute and innocent.

But don't let that fool you. Even Princesses can play football (tackle to boot)!!

Fall Colors

I miss the reds of Minnesota - in Colorado it is all golds - but it is still (somehow!) beautiful! I couldn't narrow it down any further so here are quite a few pictures from our drive along the Peak to Peak Highway.
