Mt. Biking @ Bobcat Ridge

for the 1st time that I can remember, I slept in on a Sat... Well at least until 7. DeNae and I enjoyed a whole weekend together. I was in Denver training Mon-Fri so.. even the weekend before thanksgiving I had a weekend off. We went to Bobcat ridge. It's an incredible, super technical trail about 20 miles away. The area burned down about 10 yrs ago and is just in the process of regrowth.. That makes for some amazing, unpredictable trails! While we were there we met some friends! We live in the outdoor celestial mecca! I love this place!


The End.

Catch Up!.. This is a long one.. Hold On!!!!!

Okay.. So I'm a little behind in the blogging bus... But why would you sit down at your computer all day blogging when you could be playing. Here is what we have been up to:

Giant Hail Storm

Well it Hailed a hell of a lot of Hail.. HA HA. It was fun except....

After the storm we had no leaves on our trees... No garden left and.. we had the hide our car under the Tree.. It still amazes me what mother nature can throw at you!

FISHING AND CAMPING

We have been camping and hiking and fishing a lot.. Mostly with our friends the Archibalds, Nordfelts With their fun kid Crew, and Lance and John. Here are a few random Pics:

Tour De Fat

Fort Collins is a really cool, progressive town. A lot of that comes from CSU and the rest comes from the 8 Breweries within 5 miles. One of those major breweries New Belgium; puts on a "Tour De Fat" ride which basically consists of people meeting in really cool costumes, drinking a lot of beer!, and the riding their home made bikes throughout the town. Here are some fun pictures of it:

Ralphies Wedding

RRalph and Shambrey got married on September 22nd. They are incredible together. They look like one of those marrige couples. You know the ones that are on the frames when you buy them. They are an incredible couple! I don't know Shambrey that well but I know that she is a lucky girl! Ralphie is one of the best men I know.
The wedding was in SanDiego. It was right on the beach. We were a little late.. due to... technical difficulties.. but we caught most of it. What an amazing day.
In the pictures you will see the bride and groom, Rabbi, Jensen, Wandsguard and his little lady friend

Trip To Utah

We swore after the last trip that we weren't going to Utah anymore but DeNae's cusin Meliah got married and I was going to be out of town in OR with some training so DeNae drove to UT on Wed to play with her family and then I flew into SLC on Sat. We stayed with Hannah and Mike and had a fun time @ their house. They are saints for letting us.. because you know... It's us... Anyway we had a fun time seeing DeNae's Family and then on Sun Mom, Dad, Dustin and Monica came for dinner. Then the highlight of the night we got to see Mom and Dad play Dance, Dance, revolution.. HA HA HA HA HA!!! Then on Mon David, Hannah, Mike and Dennison and Momma Baxter went for a hike with us before we left on the exciting drive across 1-80 back to CO. All in all it was a fun trip.. Crazy!, But fun. Here are some pics:

Halloween

We didn't have time to find costumes but I knew that I really wanted to be Nacho Libre and have DeNae be the Nun. So Tuesday before Halloween we had a party. I went shopping after work and found some winners and then came home and DeNae sewed up a storm and here is what we looked like:

For some reason people were offended?? In fact Mom even wanted to disown me after seeing it.
I think we did a pretty good job puting them together in 2 hrs. For those of you that havent seen Nacho Libre (Mom) Heres a picture: you can compare and see how we did.:


Pretty Good Eh?
Happy Late Halloween! Here are some pics from our party:

SteamBoat Springs

Thanks to Megan and Aaron we were able to score a cheap trip to SteamBoat springs. Steamboat is a resort town about 3 hrs West of Ft. Collins We went with our really good friends.. well... at least They like DeNae.. I consider them friends but, don't know if it's mutual.. he he. Anywho, We stayed in a really nice place and had a lot of fun. We went hiking, and walking and toured the town. The highlight was trying to break the ice with giant rocks.. We are really lucky to have such great friends. What a fun weekend! Here are some random Pics and video:

Fun Fun Fun,
The End!
