My First Hockey Game!


Mr. L's little buddy, Connor :)
We went to the Colorado College Tigers hockey game. So much fun! It's like soccer and football and field hockey on ice! Crazy. We had a blast!

When the Cat's Away...

... The mice sleep in bed together!



Mr. L was out in the field doing some training for 5 days, so I took full advantage of the empty space in the bed! No more crate for Little Bo when Daddy's away!!

I'm a Bad Blogger...

I know I've been way behind on posts but to be really honest, not much has been going on! Mr. L is in a crazy schedule right now- last week he was getting home around 8, and heading to bed around 10. And that's with going to in at 5:30 in the morning and working straight through the day. This week, he's been in the field, so needless to say Mrs. L has had a lot of alone time! And I don't like it one bit!! Luckily I have a sweet face to keep me company. He has been so great-- I keep telling Mr. L I'm making him my dog :)
I'm hoping for a trip home in April for a friend's wedding-- I hope to be there for a few weeks, so Mr. Bo might be making his first plane flight. Frontier is the cheapest airline for pet travel, and I can get a direct flight to cut down on the time he'll have to be locked up. He's in intermediate class now and doing great-- the trainer says he's progressed well and that his "problem" areas of barking at other dogs, pulling on the leash, and other puppy behaviors will go away soon with lots of work. He says you can't expect a 6 month old to be the model of good behavior!
Since Mr. L has been working so much, I've been hanging out a lot with Mrs. R and her two kiddos. So much fun! They adopted a 7 year old Husky named Naomi, and little Bo loves her! They play together so well and run around-- it's a good outlet for him and good to be around another dog.
I managed to paint our master bathroom the other day, and for the past few weeks we've been working on "renovating" it with some new brushed nickel fixtures. We did as much as we could, called in a plumber to extend a pipe for us, and hopefully we will get it finished this weekend and I can post more photos.

That's it for now... I'm off to tackle my huge To-Do list!

Accommodations




A friend of ours gave us this friends and family referral where in exchange for sitting through a timeshare sales pitch, we got 2 nights and 2 lift tickets for $100... Pretty sweet deal. We didn't walk away with a timeshare, but the hotel the promotion put us in was overbooked, so they upgraded us to this place that was literally 2 blocks from the Gondola lift at the base of Peak 8. Saweeeeet :)

A Weekend at Breck

Mrs. R and I at the top! Notice our matching snowbunny hats :)

Mr. and Mrs. L, trying to stay warm!

More House Makeovers!!

The guest bathroom-- Mr. L had some, shall we say, not-so-pretty mats on the floor that matched his old blue towels. They didn't match our new blue towels we registered for. I was tired of the mis-matched blues, so I found these 2 rugs. Makes me happy! And the white one is heaven on your feet :)
Living room makeover!! It's amazing what pillows will do! I was going to go the safe route and get a chocolate brown quilted faux-silk pillow and a light blue one with brown leaves. But then I saw these orangey-red ones and fell in love with the bold splash of color. I LOVE them! It's amazing what they do to make the room more colorful, comfortable, and dare I say luxurious!
They are my new inspiration for the room, that still looks a lot like a bachelor pad. I want to go with a costal southern type look. More photos as I get the room more "finished."
